Amazon unveils AI-powered MIDI keyboard
Amazon has launched a new AI-powered compositional tool called the AWS DeepComposer.
The MIDI keyboard, which is set to retail at $99 when it goes on sale soon, can create an entire finished composition from just one inputted melody.
Users can record a melody using the keyboard and then take their pick from a number of genre models, such as rock, pop, classical and jazz. The keyboard will then complete the composition in whatever style is chosen using the melody.

Check out 231 DJ names made up by an artificial intelligence
An artificial intelligence programme has been taught to create 231 producer names, and they're alarmingly believable.

Electronic luminaries Holly Herndon and Jlin have created a new track ‘Godmother’, out now on 4AD, completely via an AI program called Spawn.
Spawn was created over the course of two years by Herndon and Mat Dryhurst. Producing the track entirely via machine learning, Spawn repeatedly listened to recent DJ Mag interviewee Jlin’s work and tried to replicate it with Herndon’s voice.

A new EP has just been released by an AI startup, WaveAI, which is pioneering a new music creation app called Alysia.
DJ Mag reported last year that artificial intelligence was already being used to craft pop music, and there’s currently a great deal of speculation about the role AI will play in the future of the music industry.
Using Alysia's technology, you can input a few details into the app for it to start creating a composition of its own accord.
