Magenta with other open source Toolbox

[Arijit Biswas]

Dear all:

Magenta is dependent on Tensorflow.
Is it easily possible to replace Tensorflow with any other toolbox of my choice and yet make use of the Magenta codes for generating music?

I understand that you release models and tools as open source.
Does "tools" include codes required for training as well?

I'm curious to see if it's possible to do what you're doing with other toolboxes, e.g. Keras, Theano, CNTK, Torch, Caffe, etc with least amount of effort.

Cheers,
Arijit

Not easily (at all!), but the ideas within Magenta can be implemented
in other frameworks. I don't know how the recent real-time MIDI stuff
interacts with the Tensorflow models, but that part might be reusable
if you implement the same interface in $your_new_framework.

Training code is in the repo, too. https://github.com/tensorflow/magenta

Hi Arijit,

I actually don't think it would be very difficult to do this. Most of the preprocessing code is independent of TensorFlow. 

Also, if you want to hook into the MIDI interface, you simply need to satisfy the SequenceGenerator API, which is not dependent on TF either.

Hope this helps!
