New tool lets musicians turn AI compositions into written sheet music
Researchers have created SuperOM, a software bridge that automatically converts algorithmically-generated music into readable notation. The tool could accelerate adoption of AI-assisted composition in studios and educational settings by eliminating the manual transcription bottleneck that currently forces musicians to rewrite computer output by hand.
Originaltitel: SuperOM: a SuperCollider class to generate music scores in OpenMusic
<p>This paper introduces SuperOM, a class built for the software SuperCollider in order to create a bridge to OpenMu- sic and thus facilitate the creation of musical scores from SuperCollider patches. SuperOM is primarily intended to be used as a tool for SuperCollider users who make use of assisted composition techniques and want the output of such processes to be captured through automatic notation transcription. This paper first presents an overview of existing transcription tools for SuperCollider, followed by a detailed description of SuperOM and its implementation, as well as examples of how it can be used in practice. Finally, a case study in which the transcription tool was used as an assistive composition tool to generate the score of a sonification – which later was turned into a piano piece – is discussed. </p>
