AI improviser plugin

This is a VST plugin built with the JUCE framework for macOS, Windows and Linux.

If you send it MIDI, it will learn in real-time and improvise with the model.

Wire its MIDI out to a synthesizer to allow it improvise.

You can download the plugin on the [releases page][https://github.com/yeeking/ai-improviser-plugin/releases]

This software is part of a series of improvisation systems I have developed, but it is the first one that comes in the form of a VST plugin.

For users

You can use the plugin in your VST host. Download the release from the releases area on the right of the page

Windows

• Copy the .vst file to C:\Program Files\Common Files\VST3
• Your host should scan and find it

macOS

• Quit the VST host if it is running [logic/ etc.]
• Copy the .vst file to this folder: /Library/Audio/Plug-Ins/VST3
• Open a terminal and run this command, which will allow unsigned software to run:

sudo spctl --master-disable

• Launch your VST host and let it scan
• Verify you add the ai-improviser plugin to your host
• Run this command in the terminal to re-enable blocking of unsigned software:

sudo spctl --master-enable

Linux

Probably best to build it yourself!

For developers

You can build the plugin using CMake:

cmake -B build .
cmake --build build --config Release 

That will generate a standalone application in the build folder and it will automatically install the plugin version to the default location.
