AI Analysis

MidSlickCrowd Pleaser

Another AI music generator, but at least it exports MIDI instead of locked audio.

Strengths
  • Outputs raw MIDI files rather than rendered audio, allowing full DAW manipulation.
  • No signup required for basic generation lowers the barrier to entry significantly.
  • Includes integrated drum layering to provide rhythmic context for melodies.
Weaknesses
  • Crowded market with established competitors like Soundraw, AIVA, and Google Magenta.
  • Beta limitations on model diversity and customization restrict serious professional use.

Post Description

Melogen generates short melodic phrases as .mid files, no rendered audio, just notes you drop into your DAW. Free to try, no signup required.

I built this because every "AI music" tool I'd tried produces finished audio, which is the opposite of what I want when I'm stuck on a hook. I wanted something that hands me a MIDI seed I can take into Ableton/FL/Logic and shape myself.

Under the hood: - Decoder-only transformer trained on MIDI - Outputs note sequences with timing and velocity - Tuned for short, usable phrases rather than full arrangements

It's still in beta and rough in places. I'd value blunt feedback on: - Whether the generations are actually musical, or just "notes that fit a key" - MIDI handling: timing, velocity, channel assignment - What's missing before it would slot into a real workflow

Happy to get into the model, dataset, or pipeline in the comments.

Melody v2.0.0 – Go framework with proper /v2 module and integrations

Melody v2 fixes a real pain: it ships a proper github.com/precision-soft/melody/v2 module and a go.work-based workspace so v1 and v2 can be used side-by-side without replace hacks. The release pairs that with practical, opinionated integrations — Bun ORM (mysql/pgsql/migrate) and a Rueidis Redis backend with prefix invalidation — plus controller autowire, router groups and a showcase app to demonstrate wiring. Not groundbreaking in the crowded Go web framework space, but it materially reduces friction for teams using Bun and modern Go modules.
