MIDI-Draw: Sketching to Control Melody Generation

19 May 2023  ·  Tashi Namgyal, Peter Flach, Raul Santos-Rodriguez ·

We describe a proof-of-principle implementation of a system for drawing melodies that abstracts away from a note-level input representation via melodic contours. The aim is to allow users to express their musical intentions without requiring prior knowledge of how notes fit together melodiously. Current approaches to controllable melody generation often require users to choose parameters that are static across a whole sequence, via buttons or sliders. In contrast, our method allows users to quickly specify how parameters should change over time by drawing a contour.
