can you explain performance differences vs Magenta / Lyria? that's the most similar thing I can think of

Good question. First and foremost, Magenta is autoregressive, and this is not. Practical differences: THIS: - has more controls; output can be highly custom - has very fast response time for updating controls; this approaches real time - runs on consumer cards - is optimized for loops, and full songs, not continuous infinite music

MAGENTA: - can generate music forever, it plainly wins here - has fewer controls - has high parameter update latency (chunks of 2 seconds) - I did get magenta to fit on a 5090, but just barely
