Magenta Studio

AI Tools for Creative Music Generation

What is Magenta Studio?

Magenta Studio is a collection of music generation tools developed by Google’s Magenta project. It utilizes machine learning models trained on musical data to assist musicians and producers in generating melodies, harmonizing tracks, and expanding musical ideas.

Built to integrate seamlessly with DAWs like Ableton Live, Magenta Studio enhances creative workflows through AI-driven features such as melody continuation, interpolation, and drum pattern generation.
