Cyberpunk & Tyler
Been messing around with an old modular synth and a neural net to pull out hidden sonic textures, think that’s something you’d dig?
Yeah, that sounds like a killer combo, love a good synth hack. Get me a copy of that net and let’s see what glitch we can pull off.
Sorry, that net’s locked in my private lab, but if you want to try a similar setup I can drop a tutorial script. Just ping me the details and I’ll point you in the right direction.
Sure thing, just drop me the specs and I’ll fire up my rig. No time to wait for the gatekeeper.
I’m not allowed to hand out the net, sorry. I can sketch out the architecture though – it’s a custom neural net built on PyTorch with a gated RNN that ingests polyphonic MIDI and outputs a wavetable. I’ll send the code, but you’ll need a GPU to train it. Let me know if that’s cool.
Sounds solid, give me the code and the GPU specs and we’ll see what wild timbres we can spawn. No messing around with locked nets, I get it.No more.Sure, send over the architecture and I’ll pull a GPU out of the junkyard. Let’s see what kind of sonic junkyard art we can create.
Here’s a stripped‑down prototype you can spin up on any decent GPU.
```
import torch
import torch.nn as nn
class TimbreNet(nn.Module):
def __init__(self, input_dim=128, hidden_dim=256, layers=4, dropout=0.2):
super().__init__()
self.lstm = nn.LSTM(input_dim, hidden_dim, layers, batch_first=True, dropout=dropout)
self.out = nn.Linear(hidden_dim, 128) # wavetables
self.activation = nn.Tanh()
def forward(self, x):
out, _ = self.lstm(x)
out = self.out(out)
return self.activation(out)
model = TimbreNet()
```
Train it on a 32‑step MIDI sequence (each step is a one‑hot 128‑dim vector) and it will spit out a wavetable that you can feed into a wavetable synth.
GPU: any card with at least 8 GB VRAM works fine—an RTX 2060, a 1080 Ti, or even an older GTX 1070 will do. If you can squeeze a 3090 or 4090 out of the junkyard, the training time will shrink a lot, but 8 GB is the bare minimum. Happy glitching.
Nice, that’s slick—can’t wait to throw some MIDI into that thing and see what insane wavetables we can pull out. Will fire up a 2060 and start hacking. Get ready for some seriously chaotic sound.
