Magenta Studio
Free AI MIDI plugins for Ableton Live from Google's Magenta team.
About
Magenta Studio is a free suite of AI music tools built by Google's Magenta research team. It installs as Max for Live devices inside Ableton Live and applies machine learning models to MIDI clips directly in the Session View.
The suite includes five tools: Continue extends a melody or drum pattern, Generate creates new patterns from scratch, Groove humanizes stiff drums with realistic timing and velocity, Drumify generates a drum part to fit a melody, and Interpolate morphs between two patterns. All processing runs locally with no cloud dependency. The underlying models and code are open source under Apache 2.0.
