AI decodes and recreates proprietary piano music format

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A user experimented with AI models Astra and Fable to recreate music for a self-playing piano system, PianoDisc Protigy. The AI successfully generated a rendition of Satie's Gymnopédie No. 1, analyzing nuances like rubato and sustain pedal technique. Fable also identified and created an encoder/decoder for PianoDisc's proprietary format, which includes 'decoy notes' for obfuscation. The user is now questioning the legality of publishing the AI-generated encoder and decoder. AI
