[sdiy] ML / AI for music & synthesis (not coding!)

[Mike Bryant]

Definitely a coming area.  At present it's only for PC GPUs but I imagine we'll soon see it on high end MCUs.

Subject: [sdiy] ML / AI for music & synthesis (not coding!)

A more interesting topic to me is the use of machine learning and AI
methods for realtime synthesis / effects and music creation. More and
more often these days I'm seeing IoT / edge computing hardware that has
neural processing accelerators built in. Often these are in quite
inexpensive parts - SoCs targeted at networked cameras w/ machine vision
features, MCUs with audio processing for "wake up word" recongnition,
etc. So the question is how can these resources be turned to interesting
synthesis applications. Often these accelerators are merely fast linear
algebra coprocessors that do fast dot products so that would easily
apply to filtering and convolution, but often they're limited to 8-bit
data so unless you're doing chiptunes stuff that's not so useful. Any
other cool ways to apply them?
