In this hands-on workshop, you'll explore Magenta RT — a framework for building real-time, AI-assisted music systems. We'll cover how to set up live generative loops, respond to musical input in real time, and integrate Magenta RT into your own creative or performance workflow.
No prior ML experience required; a basic familiarity with music tools and Python is helpful.
Before the event
We recommend exploring the following resources:
- Magenta GitHub — overview of the project and codebase.
- Magenta RT intro post — original blog post introducing real-time capabilities.
- Python basics — if you're new to Python.
- Install guide — participants will receive setup instructions closer to the date.
