We’re excited to share Magenta RealTime 2 (MRT2), a state-of-the-art open model and efficient real-time inference engine that enables you to build and play AI musical instruments on your laptop! To get started, download the apps on your MacBook (requires Apple Silicon). Unlike other large generative music models that work offline to turn a prompt into a track, MRT2 is a live, interactive model that you can control with MIDI and audio, in addition to text. It performs low-latency on-device inference to respond to your inputs instantly. You can run it as a standalone app, drop it into your DAW, or integrate it into other music software. In addition to the open-weights model, we are releasing a collection of playable instruments and experiences built with MRT2. Experiment with cloning sounds, blending styles, and creating live accompaniment with this low-latency music model.…
