Sibelius jumps on AI bandwagon


Recommended Posts

The latest 2023.6 update of Sibelius include AI-powered chord symbol detection: https://www.avid.com/resource-center/whats-new-in-sibelius-june-2023?utm_campaign=sibelius_2023_6--renew&utm_source=gainsight&utm_medium=email

 

Personally I'm a little underwhelmed. It seems everything needs to be "now with added AI", and the training set is Bach, Beethoven, Haydn, and other material that doesn't really benefit from chord symbols. And the range of chords identified is restricted (nothing more than a seventh). More interestingly, they've deliberately chosen a model that runs locally (no data harvesting), and their blog post (https://www.avid.com/resource-center/data-driven-workflows-within-sibelius) states: "we are [...] committed to using ethical AI practices to respect creators’ data."

 

I wonder how long that will last...

 

Cheers, Mike.

The step that will really be a massive change in use of AI in music is when the machine has read and listened to enough scores to accurately transcribe music from a recording (right time sig, tempo, key, enharmonic spellings, chord symbols, and instrumentation, etc.).  
 

And conversely play back a score from sheet music as a human would.  
 

Improvise an arrangement from a melody as a human would including a solo section. 
 

That’s the singularity to me for a music AI.  
 

I think we are still some years off from this.

Going to be a decade of lawsuits and probably new definition of copyright because most of AI is building from knowledge based on material owned by other sources they scrape off the internet.    This is what all the current Reddit stink is all about.   Company who originally collected the data want $$$ for use of their data collection.     

 

A lot is our personal data collected, but everyone else gets to make money off our personal data but us.

They need to have results spit out citations at the end.
