Using the Drums RNN in Python

In the previous section, we've seen how much we can already do on the command line with the Drums RNN model. In this section, you'll get to create a small application that will use that model to generate music in Python.

Using Magenta in Python is a bit difficult because of the following reasons:

  • It requires you to write code and understand Magenta's architecture.
  • It requires more boilerplate code and is less straightforward.

But it also has advantages that we think are important:

  • You have more freedom in the usage of the models.
  • You can create new models and modify existing ones.
  • You can go beyond generating single sequences.

The last point is important for us because we'll be building a small music application that generates music autonomously. Calling Magenta's scripts on the command line is convenient, but you cannot...
