In this chapter, we'll use the following tools:
- The command line or Bash to launch Magenta from the Terminal
- Python and its libraries to write music generation code using Magenta
- Magenta to generate audio clips
- Audacity to edit audio clips
- Any media player to listen to the generated WAV files
In Magenta, we'll make the use of the NSynth and GANSynth models. We'll be explaining these models in depth, but if you feel like you need more information, the models' README in Magenta's source code (github.com/tensorflow/magenta/tree/master/magenta/models) is a good place to start. You can also take a look at Magenta's code, which is well documented. We also provide additional content in the Further reading section.
The code for this chapter is in this book's GitHub repository in the Chapter05 folder, located at github.com/PacktPublishing...
