Google has taken the idea of\u00a0Rock Band<\/em>\u00a0and\u00a0Guitar Hero<\/em>\u00a0and pushed it one step further, creating an intelligent controller that lets you improvise on the\u00a0piano<\/a>\u00a0and makes it sound like you actually know what you’re doing, no matter how unskilled you are. The controller is called Piano Genie, and it comes from Google’s\u00a0Magenta research project<\/a>. Powered by a neural network trained on classical piano music, Piano Genie translates what you tap out on eight buttons into music that uses all 88 piano keys.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

“I really wanted to design a tool that we could give to someone who doesn’t know how to play, and they’d be able to create music with some kind of intention,” Google Magenta intern Chris Donahue, told\u00a0The Verge<\/a><\/em>. “When you’re playing it, it’s this really awesome experience where, occasionally, it will feel like it’s sort of reading your mind and play the exact note you’re intending to. And then other times, it will completely disobey you but still do something reasonable.”<\/p>\n
