Perhaps less popular is the contribution of AI in the field of [[music]]. Nevertheless, artificial intelligence and music (AIM) has, for a long time, been a common subject in several conferences and workshops, including the [[International Computer Music Conference]], the Computing Society Conference <ref>[http://www-rcf.usc.edu/~echew/INFORMS/ics2005.html INFORMS Computing Society Conference: Annapolis: Music, Computation and AI].

Note that there are many that are still being developed. Research in artificial intelligence (AI) is known to have impacted medical diagnosis, stock trading, robot control, and several other fields. Perhaps less popular is the contribution of AI in the field of music. Nevertheless, artificial intelligence and music (AIM) has, for a long time, been a common subject in several conferences and workshops, including the International Computer Music Conference, the Computing Society Conference [1] and the International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence. ==Software applications== ===Emi=== A program developed by David Cope which composes classical music. See [[Experiments in Musical Intelligence]]. ===OrchExtra=== This program was designed to provide small-budget productions with instrumentation for all instruments usually present in the full-fledged orchestra. If there is a small orchestra playing, the program can play the part for missing instruments. High school and community theaters wanting to produce a musical can now benefit from the virtual orchestra and realize a full Broadway score. This software is able to follow the fluctuations in tempo and musical expression. Musicians enjoy the thrill of playing with a full orchestra, while the audience enjoys the rich sound that comes from the combination of the virtual orchestra with the musicians.<ref>[http://www.rms.biz/index.cfm?page=OrchEXTRA Realtime Music Solutions].

This interdisciplinary effort draws on [[Music Theory]], [[Cognitive Science]], [[Artificial Intelligence]] and [[Machine Learning]], [[Human Computer Interaction]], [[Real-Time Systems]], [[Computer Graphics]] and Animation, [[Multimedia]], [[Programming Languages]], and [[Signal Processing]].<ref>[http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~music/ Computer Music Group]. 2.cs.cmu.edu. Retrieved on 2010-12-22.</ref> One of their project is similar to SmartMusic. It provides accompaniment for the chosen piece follows the soloist (user) despite tempo changes and/or mistakes. Demo:<ref>[http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~music/examples/RBDACCMP.MOV Video demo of computer accompaniment]</ref> ===SmartMusic === SmartMusic is an interactive, computer-based practice tool for musicians. It offers exercises, instant feedback tools, and accompaniments to meant to aid musicians. The product is targeted at teachers and students alike and offers five categories of accompaniments: solo, skill development, method books, jazz, and ensemble. Teachers can give students pre-defined assignments via email and scan in sheet music that is not yet in the SmartMusic catalog. Students can choose the difficulty level they want to play at, slow down or speed up the tempo, or change the key in which to play the piece.<ref>{{Cite URL|url=http://www.smartmusic.com/| title=Discover SmartMusic|website=smartmusic.com|publisher = MakeMusic, Inc.|accessdate=September 12, 2015}}</ref> SmartMusic also compares students' playing with digital template, which allows it to detect mistakes and mark them on a score. It also simulates the rapport between musicians by sensing and reacting to tempo changes. ===StarPlayIt=== StarPlay is also a music education software that allows the user to practice by performing with professional musicians, bands and orchestras. They can choose their spot and watch the video from that spot. They can hear the other musicians playing. Again, the program listens to the user's performance and helps them improve their performance by providing constructive feedback as they rehearse. StarPlay was developed by StarPlayIt (formerly In The Chair), a music technology company that has won many awards for its platforms for online musical performance and participation.<ref>[http://www.inthechair.com/index.php (BROKEN LINK) StarPlayit music learning and video game technology platform].

And creation of good fingering sometimes challenge even for real musician, especially when the matter is about replaying two handed piano composition on string instrument. So in TabEditor<ref>[http://wiki.cockos.com/wiki/index.php/TabEditor TabEditor]</ref> (the tiny plugin for [[REAPER]] DAW) was used the AI which solves this puzzle same way as musician would do: trying to keep all notes close to each other (to be possible to play) while at the same time trying to fit all piano notes into range of notes that instrument allows to play simultaneously. And when situation is impossible (piano party has more notes than guitar can play) the AI tries to find less destructive solution, removing from composition as few notes as possible. Prolog programming language was used to create this AI. ===Ludwig=== Ludwig<ref>[http://www.write-music.com The automatic composition software Ludwig]. www.write-music.com. Retrieved on 2011-10-27.</ref> is an automated composition software based on tree search algorithms. Ludwig generates melodies according to principles of classical music theory. The software arranges its melodies with pop-automation patterns or in four-part choral writing. Ludwig can react in real-time on an eight-bar theme played on a keyboard. The theme will be analysed for key, harmonic content and rhythm while it is being performed by a human. The program then without delay repeats the theme arranged e.g. for orchestra. It subsequently varies the melody to create a little piece as interactive answer to the human input. ===OMax=== OMax<ref>[http://omax.ircam.fr/ The OMax Project Page]</ref> is a software environment which learns in real-time typical features of a musician's style and plays along with him interactively, giving the flavor of a machine co-improvisation. OMax uses OpenMusic and Max. It is based on researches on stylistic modeling carried out by Gerard Assayag and Shlomo Dubnov and on researches on improvisation with the computer by G. Assayag, M. Chemillier and G. Bloch (Aka the OMax Brothers) in the Ircam Music Representations group. ===Melomics=== Melomics is a proprietary computational system for the automatic (without human intervention) composition of music, based on bioinspired methods and produced by Melomics Media. Composing a wide variety of genres, all music composed by Melomics algorithms are available in MP3, MIDI, MusicXML, and PDF (of sheet music), after purchase. Music composed by this algorithm was organized into an album named [[Iamus (album)]], which was hailed by New Scientist as "The first complete album to be composed solely by a computer and recorded by human musicians."<ref>{{cite journal | title= Computer composer honours Turing's centenary| journal= ''News Scientist''| date =5 July 2012| url =http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg21528724.300-computer-composer-honours-turings-centenary.html}}</ref> ==See also== * [[Artificial Intelligence]] * [[Algorithmic composition]] * [[Technology]] * [[Applications of artificial intelligence]] * [[List of music software]] ==References== {{Reflist|30em}} ==Further reading== *http://www.aaai.org/Press/Books/balaban.php Understanding Music with AI: Perspectives on Music Cognition.
