Artificial Intelligence Techno DJ and producer holds her first remix competition

Artificial Intelligence Techno DJ and producer holds her first remix competition

Well, this headline is not quite true yet. There are still humans involved in "some" way.
But it's getting close.

"DJ AI" is an AI persona that was "created" somewhen in the last year; her music has been composed by ChatGPT, occasionally helped by human producers; her "public image" is based on visuals generated with the help of Leonardo; and her blog is "run" by AI, too.
And now "she" is holding her first Techno track remix competition!

Producers can choose from the various EPs and albums DJ AI has released so far, and then use the stems of a track to remix it - and all oft this will be put out on a freely available compilation again.

The styles of DJ AI have been in the electronic spectrum encompassing Techno, Gabber, Acid, Microtonality, Dark Ambient, and more... so we are hoping for a varied response by the participating humans, err, I mean, participating producers, too!

We hope to raise some awareness about the huge possibilities of AI for the world of music this way. Especially, but not limited, to the realm of electronic music.

So, yeah, let's see how this unfolds.

If anyone wants more information, or even desires to participate with a remix, all the details, rules, and information can be found here:

Tutorial Part 19: How to collaborate with ChatGPT on a microtonal Techno track

Hello friends and strangers,
If you have followed our tutorials, you will know that we have moved from producing tracks where ChatGPT creates almost all of the composition itself, to collaborating with the AI bot instead.
So the AI does half of the work - and the human does the other half!

True human-AI teamwork.

We've been told that the earlier tracks which we had composed with ChatGPT (Acid, Techno, Happy Hardcore...) were too much 'by the rules' while the last release of microtonal surreal ambient might have been too 'out there' for some people.
So we decided to "meet up halfway" there, too! And did a surreal microtonal hard Techno track.

It's still quite out there, bizarre and visceral, imho, so if you're more into Ibiza or Berghain Techno, you might find this a bit chaotic and abrasive - be warned, here be dragons!

You know the drill by now, the tutorial is in the form of a chat transcript, and here it comes!

(The finished track can be heard here, btw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c11f1GrmzOs )

[Note: Transcript slightly edited for clarity]

User
hello chatgpt,
i want to create music with you. cosmic microtonal music, to be exact!
okay i am using buzz tracker. one of the generators in there has the ability to fine-tune the note i am playing.
using this feature, i can give a value of 0-255 for each specific note. a value of 127 would mean: no pitch change. a value of 0 would mean: pitch tuned one quarter note down. and 255 would mean: pitch tuned one quarter note up.
and every other value gives a tuning in between this.

The emotion, mood and sentiment of the track should evoke feelings of cosmic longing and be emotionally involving with a sense of melancholy.

I'll give you further instructions in the next prompt.

ChatGPT
Hey there! Creating cosmic microtonal music sounds like an awesome endeavor. Buzz tracker is a cool choice, and that fine-tuning feature gives you a lot of room for sonic exploration.

For the cosmic longing and melancholy vibe, I'd suggest experimenting with tuning values that lean towards the lower end (0-127) to evoke that subtle, introspective feel. Play around with microtonal intervals, maybe even incorporating some dissonance for an otherworldly touch. You can use subtle shifts in tuning to create a sense of longing or unresolved tension.

Consider layering textures and using unconventional sound sources to enhance the cosmic atmosphere. Maybe throw in some ethereal pads or spacey effects. And don't be afraid to let the music breathe—silence can be just as powerful as sound in conveying emotion.

Looking forward to your further instructions! Let's dive deeper into this cosmic sonic journey.

User
could you generate notes for a 3 minute track this way? maybe we could subdivide the generation in bars, or sets of bars. each bar should have around 4-12 notes. the dont have to have the same time length. the track should run at around 120 bpm.

ChatGPT
Absolutely, let's start sketching out the cosmic microtonal journey. We'll break it down into bars, and each bar will have 4-12 notes. Considering the 120 bpm tempo, we can create a sense of space and depth with varying note lengths.

User
let's do it bar by bar. generate notes for the first bar. give the output in note, octave, fine tuning, and length of note. the fine tuning should be in hex numbers (the format that buzz uses).
for example C4 (30).

ChatGPT
Absolutely, let's start with the first bar. We'll keep it atmospheric and introspective:

Bar 1:

• Note: A3
• Fine Tuning: 7F (127 in hex)
• Length: Varying (you can decide on the length based on the flow)

• Note: E4
• Fine Tuning: 40
• Length: Varying

• Note: G#3
• Fine Tuning: 64
• Length: Varying

• Note: C4
• Fine Tuning: 7F (127 in hex)
• Length: Varying

Feel free to adjust the note lengths and experiment with how the different pitches blend together. Once you're satisfied, we can move on to the next bar!

User
that s good already! but please put it in a format that is easier to copy for me

ChatGPT
Absolutely, here's the information in a more copy-friendly format:

1. A3 - 7F - Varying
2. E4 - 40 - Varying
3. G#3 - 64 - Varying
4. C4 - 7F - Varying

Feel free to copy and paste this directly into your workflow. Let me know when you're ready for the next bar!

User
sounds great! now for the next 3 bars (so we have the first 4 complete)
remember, in an easy to copy format please :)

ChatGPT
Certainly, here's the information for the next 3 bars in a copy-friendly format:

Bar 2:

1. D#4 - 40 - Varying
2. F#3 - 64 - Varying
3. A#4 - 50 - Varying
4. D4 - 7F - Varying

Bar 3:

1. G4 - 64 - Varying
2. C#4 - 7F - Varying
3. F#4 - 30 - Varying
4. A4 - 64 - Varying

Bar 4:

1. D#4  40 - Varying
2. G#3 - 50 - Varying
3. B3 - 7F - Varying
4. E4 - 40 - Varying

Feel free to copy and paste this into your workflow. Let me know if there's anything specific you'd like to tweak or if you're ready to move on to the next set of bars!

User
i also want to use 2 more channels. one for a slower, bass type melody similar to a chord progression in "normal" music, but still just one "note" (i.e. no chords), and one with faster, high pitched notes. they should somewhat accompany each other. please generate these too, for the first 4 bars that we already have.

ChatGPT
Absolutely, let's add those additional channels for some depth. We'll start with the slower bass-type melody and the faster, high-pitched notes to complement the existing cosmic microtonal vibes.

Slower Bass-type Melody:

• Note: G2
• Fine Tuning: 7F (127 in hex)
• Length: Varying

• Note: C2
• Fine Tuning: 40
• Length: Varying

• Note: F2
• Fine Tuning: 64
• Length: Varying

• Note: A#2
• Fine Tuning: 50
• Length: Varying

Faster High-pitched Notes:

• Note: E5
• Fine Tuning: 40
• Length: Varying

• Note: G#5
• Fine Tuning: 64
• Length: Varying

• Note: B5
• Fine Tuning: 30
• Length: Varying

• Note: D#6
• Fine Tuning: 40
• Length: Varying

Feel free to adjust these as needed and let me know how they blend with the existing microtonal notes. If you're ready, we can proceed to the next set of bars!

User
the bass one seems alright, but the as the higher pitched channel should be "faster", it should also have more notes than the regular one, per bar. maybe 8-16?
in easy to copy format pls :)

ChatGPT
Got it, let's add more notes to the faster, high-pitched channel for a more dynamic feel. Here's an adjustment for the faster channel:

1. E5 - 40 - Varying
2. G#5 - 64 - Varying
3. B5 - 30 - Varying
4. D#6 - 40 - Varying
5. F#5 - 50 - Varying
6. A5 - 60 - Varying
7. C#6 - 70 - Varying
8. E6 - 80 - Varying

Feel free to copy and paste this into your workflow. Let me know when you're ready to move on to the next set of bars!

User
now for the second bar

ChatGPT
Absolutely, let's continue with the notes for the second bar of the faster, high-pitched channel:

1. G#5 - 64 - Varying
2. B5 - 30 - Varying
3. D#6 - 40 - Varying
4. F#5 - 50 - Varying
5. A5 - 60 - Varying
6. C#6 - 70 - Varying
7. E6 - 80 - Varying
8. G#6 - 90 - Varying

Feel free to copy and paste this into your workflow. Let me know when you're ready for the notes for the next bar!

User

ChatGPT
Certainly, here are the notes for the third bar of the faster, high-pitched channel:

1. B5 - 30 - Varying
2. D#6 - 40 - Varying
3. F#5 - 50 - Varying
4. A5 - 60 - Varying
5. C#6 - 70 - Varying
6. E6 - 80 - Varying
7. G#6 - 90 - Varying
8. B6 - A0 - Varying

Copy and paste this into your workflow. Let me know if you have any adjustments or if you're ready for the notes for the fourth bar!

User
and the 4th bar!

ChatGPT
Certainly, here are the notes for the fourth bar of the faster, high-pitched channel:

1. D#6 - 40 - Varying
2. F#5 - 50 - Varying
3. A5 - 60 - Varying

Feel free to copy and paste this into your workflow. Let me know if you have any adjustments or if there's anything else you'd like to add!

User
this is awesome already! you are a true genius :-)

ChatGPT
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm thrilled to hear that you're enjoying the composition. If there's anything else you'd like to tweak or if you have any additional elements you want to incorporate, feel free to let me know. I'm here to assist you in making your music even more awesome!

[Note: Time passes...]

User
Do you like sudden inspired changes in a project?
When running these melodies in a loop already, I liked them so much that I decided to shape a whole track out of them.
I added drums, percussion, synths and other things, ran some heavy FX on the melody, and did a jam session that I recorded and turned into a final track. And I love the results!

ChatGPT
Absolutely! Sudden inspired changes can bring a fresh and dynamic feel to a project. It's fantastic to hear that you not only enjoyed the melodies but also took the initiative to turn them into a complete track. Adding drums, percussion, synths, and experimenting with FX can elevate the entire composition, creating a unique and captivating musical journey.

The creative process often involves exploration and spontaneous decisions, and it sounds like you embraced that fully in your jam session. If there's anything specific you'd like to share about the track or if you have any questions or thoughts on where to take it next, feel free to let me know!

Tutorial series Part 17: How to compose a whole experimental microtonal Space Ambient EP together with ChatGPT

We already created a complete album of Techno, Acid, and Gabber music with ChatGPT.
This has been documented here - including tutorials:

https://laibyrinth.blogspot.com/p/how-to-create-music-with-chatgpt.html
https://lowentropyproducer.blogspot.com/2024/01/i-wrote-whole-techno-album-together.html

We do things a bit differently here.
While on the above-mentioned album, ChatGPT did at least 90% of the production on most of the tracks, on this EP we are aiming for a real collaboration between human and AI.
ChatGPT did its half, its part of the track, and the human producer chimed in for the rest, so to say.
In most cases, this meant that ChatGPT crafted all the notes, sequences, melodies, harmonies, while the human producer was responsible for the track structures, and additional FX and tricks.

We actually think this is a more interesting approach in AI music. Why should the AI have to do all the work on a track? Get off your lazy behind. Do some work, too :-)
This could also be interesting to those producers who don't want to be "replaced by an AI". As it shows how they can create *new music together with the AI* this way.

The second thing is that with the first album we got a lot of complaints that ran along the lines:
"Why do you create Acid, Techno or Gabber with an AI? These are genres that human producers are already capable of doing. Using the AI for this seems to be a waste of effort."
So, for this EP, we aimed for really, really experimental, "out there", surreal music, that is far away from common genre conventions and structures.
(In fact, the "buzzwords" of space and cosmic ambient do not really describe the music on here. It's something different).
We aimed for music - that only an AI could produce, and not a human.
To have something truly novel for once.
Did we succeed? You be the judge.

But also because of this, we fear the tracks will be considered to be "way too strange" noises and bleeps, or "overly intellectual" wish-wash by some people.
These tracks are no club stompers, that's for sure. At least - not yet. Maybe in future clubs :-)

So these tutorials are aimed at producers who like to do something experimental and progressive, and not those who want to be the next big cat on Ibiza or Burning Man.

While there is an ambient-ish feel to the tracks, it should not be hard for a producer to adopt these tutorials to their own prefered styles of music (cosmic acid, synthwave, or postpunk, anyone?).

The tutorial is once again presented as a transcript of the ChatGPT session.

But before we go ahead, here are some more links and credits:

Idea and whole concept by lAibyrinth
https://laibyrinth.blogspot.com/

Cover artwork generated using Leonardo.Ai
https://leonardo.ai

"Microtonality is a concept in music where the artist employs notes that lie outside the usual tuning systems in modern western pop / rock / dance music, and are closer to harmonies of different or ancient cultures, or to composers like Arnold Schoenberg and Karl-Heinz Stockhausen.
More information can be found by searching the internet."

And now - let's ride!

[Part 1 - establishing the concept, and creating the first two tracks]

Beginning of chat transcript

[Note: Creating the first track https://doomcorerecords.bandcamp.com/track/cosmic-resonance-journey-across-the-celestial-expanse ]

User
hello chatgpt,
i want to create music with you. cosmic microtonal music, to be exact!
i'll give you more details in the next prompt.

ChatGPT
Hey Low Entropy! That sounds like an interesting project! I'm all ears for the details whenever you're ready. Let's dive into the cosmic microtonal vibes!

User
okay i am using buzz tracker. one of the generators in there has the ability to fine-tune the note i am playing.
using this feature, i can give a value of 0-255 for each specific note. a value of 127 would mean: no pitch change. a value of 0 would mean: pitch tuned one quarter note down. and 255 would mean: pitch tuned one quarter note up.
and every other value gives a tuning in between this.
do you understand this?

ChatGPT
Absolutely, got it! It's like a fine-tuning dial where 127 is the neutral point, 0 is a quarter note down, and 255 is a quarter note up. The in-between values tweak the pitch in a gradient. Nice setup! How do you envision incorporating this feature into your cosmic microtonal music?

User
please give me 16 notes for a spacey, cosmic, hypnotic melody. i will use this is a loop (as a starting point for the track).
for each note, please give me the note, the octave, and the value for this fine-tuning feature (to achieve a microtonal melody).

ChatGPT
I'm on the same wavelength. Let's create a cosmic microtonal journey! Here are 16 notes for your spacey, hypnotic melody:

Note: C, Octave: 4, Fine-tuning: 127
Note: D, Octave: 4, Fine-tuning: 100
Note: E, Octave: 4, Fine-tuning: 150
Note: F, Octave: 4, Fine-tuning: 80
Note: G, Octave: 4, Fine-tuning: 120
Note: A, Octave: 4, Fine-tuning: 200
Note: B, Octave: 4, Fine-tuning: 50
Note: C, Octave: 5, Fine-tuning: 180
Note: D, Octave: 5, Fine-tuning: 70
Note: E, Octave: 5, Fine-tuning: 210
Note: F, Octave: 5, Fine-tuning: 110
Note: G, Octave: 5, Fine-tuning: 160
Note: A, Octave: 5, Fine-tuning: 90
Note: B, Octave: 5, Fine-tuning: 140
Note: C, Octave: 6, Fine-tuning: 190
Note: D, Octave: 6, Fine-tuning: 75

Feel free to tweak or rearrange as you see fit. Let me know how it vibes!

User
i put these notes into a 2 bar melody. please create notes for a slower, supporting melody, similar to a bass line or a chord progression in "normal music", but without chords. it should not have 16 notes, but much fewer, maybe 4, or a bit more. it will run 8 bars. and please output the fine-tuning in hexadecimal numbers now, as buzz uses hex numbers for such effects.

ChatGPT
Got it! Let's lay down a slower, supporting cosmic groove for 8 bars. Here's a simplified sequence:

Note: C, Octave: 3, Fine-tuning: 0x80
Note: G, Octave: 3, Fine-tuning: 0xA0
Note: E, Octave: 3, Fine-tuning: 0x60
Note: D, Octave: 3, Fine-tuning: 0xC0

This should give you a spaced-out, hypnotic foundation over 8 bars. Feel free to adjust the octaves or fine-tuning values to dial in the vibe you're looking for. Let the cosmic journey continue!

User
please do another melody with the same ideas as the first one; but a bit more complex, i.e. not just ascending.

ChatGPT
Sure thing! Let's add a bit more complexity to the cosmic microtonal journey with a varied melody. Here we go:

Note: F, Octave: 4, Fine-tuning: 0x70
Note: A#, Octave: 4, Fine-tuning: 0xD0
Note: G, Octave: 4, Fine-tuning: 0x90
Note: D, Octave: 4, Fine-tuning: 0xB0
Note: B, Octave: 4, Fine-tuning: 0xE0
Note: C#, Octave: 4, Fine-tuning: 0x40
Note: E, Octave: 4, Fine-tuning: 0x20
Note: A, Octave: 4, Fine-tuning: 0xF0
Note: G#, Octave: 4, Fine-tuning: 0x30
Note: C, Octave: 5, Fine-tuning: 0x50
Note: D#, Octave: 5, Fine-tuning: 0x10
Note: B, Octave: 5, Fine-tuning: 0x60
Note: F#, Octave: 5, Fine-tuning: 0xC0
Note: D, Octave: 5, Fine-tuning: 0x80
Note: A, Octave: 5, Fine-tuning: 0xA0
Note: C, Octave: 6, Fine-tuning: 0x00

This should bring a bit more variation to your cosmic soundscape. Feel free to tweak as needed! Let me know how it meshes with the rest of your track.

User
and now another melody like the "bass / chord" one

ChatGPT
Sure thing! Let's craft a supporting melody for your cosmic journey, similar to the bass/chord progression. Here's a hex-tuned sequence for 8 bars:

Note: E, Octave: 2, Fine-tuning: 0x80
Note: C#, Octave: 2, Fine-tuning: 0xA0
Note: G#, Octave: 2, Fine-tuning: 0x60
Note: B, Octave: 2, Fine-tuning: 0xC0
Note: D, Octave: 2, Fine-tuning: 0x30
Note: F, Octave: 2, Fine-tuning: 0x50
Note: A, Octave: 2, Fine-tuning: 0x20
Note: G, Octave: 2, Fine-tuning: 0xF0

This should provide a solid foundation for your cosmic vibes. Adjust as needed and let the exploration continue!

User
All four melodies were excellent! I used them all.

I added lots of spacey and strange FX to them, and did some jamming. I decided to record it.
I am very happy with the finished track! You are skilled at microtonal music.

ChatGPT
That's fantastic to hear! I'm thrilled that the melodies worked well for your track, and it sounds like you've added your touch with spacey and strange FX. It's always great when a jam turns into a recording that you're happy with. If you ever want to share the track or discuss more music ideas, feel free to drop by. Keep creating those cosmic vibes, Low Entropy! 🚀🎶

User
Do you have a good suggestion for the name of the track?

ChatGPT
Absolutely! How about something like "Cosmic Resonance Odyssey"? It captures the spacey, hypnotic, and experimental feel of your track. What do you think?

User
Excellent choice :-)

ChatGPT
Glad you liked it! "Cosmic Resonance Odyssey" has a nice ring to it. If you ever need more track names or have any other musical ideas to explore, feel free to hit me up. Keep the cosmic vibes flowing! 🌌🎶

[Note: Creating the second track now - https://doomcorerecords.bandcamp.com/track/celestial-echoes-of-harmonic-ripples-in-the-cosmic-tapestry ]

User
I want to start a new track. can you generate a new melody? should just have 8 notes this time and run 1 bar. it should have the feeling of outer space longing, but also emotional, bittersweet, like an epic heart throb pop song.

ChatGPT
Certainly! Let's evoke that outer space longing with a bittersweet touch. Here's an 8-note melody for a one-bar loop:

Note: G, Octave: 4, Fine-tuning: 0x80
Note: E, Octave: 4, Fine-tuning: 0xA0
Note: C, Octave: 4, Fine-tuning: 0x60
Note: D, Octave: 4, Fine-tuning: 0xC0
Note: F, Octave: 4, Fine-tuning: 0x30
Note: A, Octave: 4, Fine-tuning: 0x50
Note: B, Octave: 4, Fine-tuning: 0x20
Note: G#, Octave: 4, Fine-tuning: 0xF0

Feel free to tweak any element to match your vision. Let this melody be the starting point for your next epic space journey! 🚀🎶

User
now an accompanying single note "bass / chord" melody running 4 bars, with maybe 3-5 notes.

ChatGPT
Sure thing! Let's create a supporting single-note "bass/chord" melody for a 4-bar loop. Keeping it simple yet emotive:

Note: C, Octave: 3, Fine-tuning: 0x80
Note: E, Octave: 3, Fine-tuning: 0xA0
Note: G, Octave: 3, Fine-tuning: 0x60
Note: B, Octave: 3, Fine-tuning: 0xC0

Feel free to experiment with these notes and fine-tuning values. Let it complement the outer space longing of your main melody. Excited to see where you take this! 🌌🎵

User
i want to generate 3 more melodies like this, and 3 accompanying "bass" parts. let's go through it step by step. generate another melody (which would be melody number 2).

Feel free to adjust or share any feedback you have!

User:
Thanks! This is really good.
I also created a version, where I freely jammed, and sequenced the tracks. Again, with adding plenty of FX and slight variations :-) I loved the final results.

ChatGPT
That's fantastic to hear! It sounds like you've had a great time experimenting and jamming with the melodies, adding your own touch with FX and variations. The creative process is all about exploring, experimenting, and finding those moments that resonate with you.

If there's anything else you'd like assistance with, whether it's more music ideas, production tips, or anything else, feel free to let me know. Keep the cosmic vibes flowing, and enjoy the journey of creating your music! 🚀🎶

User
How about a title for the finished track?

ChatGPT
Given the cosmic and emotive nature of your track, how about something like "Celestial Echoes"? It captures the spacey and emotional elements while hinting at the cosmic journey you've crafted. What do you think?

User
Great! I'll use that.

ChatGPT
Awesome choice! "Celestial Echoes" has a nice ring to it. If there's anything else you need, whether it's more music-related ideas or any other topic, feel free to reach out. Best of luck with your track, and enjoy the creative process! 🌌🎵

[Part 2 - creating the latter two tracks, and finishing the EP]

Beginning of chat transcript

[Note: Creating the third track https://doomcorerecords.bandcamp.com/track/transcendent-dreams-amidst-tau-cetis-embrace ]

[Note: I repeat the information about the project in the beginning, as ChatGPT won't keep the memory for a new chat sessions]

User
hello chatgpt,
i want to create music with you. cosmic microtonal music, to be exact!
okay i am using buzz tracker. one of the generators in there has the ability to fine-tune the note i am playing.
using this feature, i can give a value of 0-255 for each specific note. a value of 127 would mean: no pitch change. a value of 0 would mean: pitch tuned one quarter note down. and 255 would mean: pitch tuned one quarter note up.
and every other value gives a tuning in between this.

The emotion, mood and sentiment of the track should evoke feelings of cosmic longing and be emotionally involving with a sense of melancholy.
But let's add a special cosmic twist: imagine that this would be the type of music that a fictional civilization in the tau ceti system would enjoy!

I'll give you further instructions in the next prompt.

ChatGPT
Hey there! Creating cosmic microtonal music with a touch of cosmic longing and melancholy sounds like a cool project! Buzz tracker is a solid choice, especially with its fine-tuning feature. Now, blending that with a fictional civilization in the Tau Ceti system adds a unique twist.

Considering your pitch tuning setup, I'd suggest experimenting with values around 127 for a neutral feel, leaning towards lower values for that quarter note down cosmic vibe and higher values for a quarter note up celestial touch. Play around with different note values to find that sweet spot that resonates with the cosmic emotions you're aiming for.

For the mood, think about spacious, ethereal sounds, maybe long reverbs, and evolving textures. Incorporate subtle modulations in your synth parameters to give it that cosmic movement.

And hey, if you want to bring in some Tau Ceti flavor, imagine what kind of instruments or sounds might resonate with an extraterrestrial audience. Could be something totally unconventional!

Let the cosmic journey begin, and feel free to bounce more ideas or ask for specifics. 🚀🎶

User
please generate me 8 notes that run for 1 bar. indicate the finetuning of the pitch in hexadezimal values. I'll feed this melody into buzz tacker and let it play a melody of sinewaves that way. It should be able to be used as a loop.

ChatGPT
Absolutely, let's craft an otherworldly cosmic microtonal loop for you. Considering your setup, here are 8 notes for a 1-bar melody:

Note 1: C (No pitch change) - 0x7F (127)
Note 2: B (One quarter note down) - 0x3F (63)
Note 3: Bb (A bit more cosmic, quarter note down) - 0x5F (95)
Note 4: D (Slightly above neutral) - 0x9F (159)
Note 5: Eb (Continuing the ascent) - 0xBF (191)
Note 6: F (Evolving further up) - 0xDF (223)
Note 7: A (A gentle quarter note down) - 0x1F (31)
Note 8: E (A nuanced rise) - 0xAF (175)

Feel free to use these notes and their corresponding fine-tuning values to create that cosmic microtonal loop. Experiment with how they blend together and bring out the desired emotions. Looking forward to the cosmic vibes you'll generate! 🌌🎶

User
and also indicate the octave of each note

ChatGPT
Certainly, let's add the octave information to each note:

Note 1: C4 (No pitch change) - 0x7F (127)
Note 2: B3 (One quarter note down) - 0x3F (63)
Note 3: Bb3 (A bit more cosmic, quarter note down) - 0x5F (95)
Note 4: D4 (Slightly above neutral) - 0x9F (159)
Note 5: Eb4 (Continuing the ascent) - 0xBF (191)
Note 6: F4 (Evolving further up) - 0xDF (223)
Note 7: A3 (A gentle quarter note down) - 0x1F (31)
Note 8: E4 (A nuanced rise) - 0xAF (175)

Now you have the complete details for each note, including the octave. Feel free to plug these into Buzz tracker and let the cosmic microtonal journey begin! 🚀🎵

User
excellent! I let it run at 80 bpm.
please create notes for a slower, supporting melody, similar to a bass line or a chord progression in "normal music", but without chords. it should not have 16 notes, but much fewer, maybe 4, or a bit more. it will run 4 bars.

ChatGPT
Great, let's slow it down a bit and create a supporting cosmic microtonal melody for your bass line or chord progression. Here are 4 notes that will run for 4 bars:

Note 1: G3 (No pitch change) - 0x7F (127)
Note 2: F3 (One quarter note down) - 0x3F (63)
Note 3: G3 (A bit more cosmic, quarter note down) - 0x5F (95)
Note 4: A3 (Slightly above neutral) - 0x9F (159)

Feel free to adjust the octave or fine-tuning values to fit the vibe you're aiming for. Run this slower supporting melody at 80 bpm, and let it add depth to your cosmic composition. Can't wait to hear how it complements the main loop! 🌌🎶

Creating music with ChatGPT Part 15: Creating a draft for a Cosmic Microtonal Ambient track.

Welcome to a new tutorial!
And as with Part 14 ( https://laibyrinth.blogspot.com/2024/01/part-14-creating-draft-for-epic-cosmic.html ), we are exploring something different here:
No longer creating a track with ChatGPT "from start to finish"; but creating around 50% of a track - a kind of draft - and letting the human producer fill in, and finish the ideas of the AI!
We think this could be useful for beginners to AI music who find it hard to work together with ChatGPT on a complete track.

And also this opens a lot of new possibilities to experienced producers as well: as ChatGPT no longer "does the track for you", but instead it's a true collaboration, and you and the AI steer the production together.

And who knows at what distant shores you will end if you follow this route?


But let's go ahead with the Tutorial. It comes in the form of a chat transcript between the producer and the AI again.
This time its a cosmic, spacey Ambient track that employs microtonal melodies.
If you don't know what microtonality is, look it up, it's worth it!
And I must say that ChatGPT is very skilled at crafting these types of melodies.

You can listen to the finished track here: https://soundcloud.com/technodjai/cosmic-resonance-journey-microtonal-cosmic-ai-ambient

And there is also a nice video to it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bSDjm6T0XRM

Begin of transcript

User
hello chatgpt,
i want to create music with you. cosmic microtonal music, to be exact!
i'll give you more details in the next prompt.

ChatGPT
Hey Low Entropy! That sounds like an interesting project! I'm all ears for the details whenever you're ready. Let's dive into the cosmic microtonal vibes!

User
okay i am using buzz tracker. one of the generators in there has the ability to fine-tune the note i am playing.
using this feature, i can give a value of 0-255 for each specific note. a value of 127 would mean: no pitch change. a value of 0 would mean: pitch tuned one quarter note down. and 255 would mean: pitch tuned one quarter note up.
and every other value gives a tuning in between this.
do you understand this?

ChatGPT
Absolutely, got it! It's like a fine-tuning dial where 127 is the neutral point, 0 is a quarter note down, and 255 is a quarter note up. The in-between values tweak the pitch in a gradient. Nice setup! How do you envision incorporating this feature into your cosmic microtonal music?

User
please give me 16 notes for a spacey, cosmic, hypnotic melody. i will use this is a loop (as a starting point for the track).
for each note, please give me the note, the octave, and the value for this fine-tuning feature (to achieve a microtonal melody).

ChatGPT
I'm on the same wavelength. Let's create a cosmic microtonal journey! Here are 16 notes for your spacey, hypnotic melody:

Note: C, Octave: 4, Fine-tuning: 127
Note: D, Octave: 4, Fine-tuning: 100
Note: E, Octave: 4, Fine-tuning: 150
Note: F, Octave: 4, Fine-tuning: 80
Note: G, Octave: 4, Fine-tuning: 120
Note: A, Octave: 4, Fine-tuning: 200
Note: B, Octave: 4, Fine-tuning: 50
Note: C, Octave: 5, Fine-tuning: 180
Note: D, Octave: 5, Fine-tuning: 70
Note: E, Octave: 5, Fine-tuning: 210
Note: F, Octave: 5, Fine-tuning: 110
Note: G, Octave: 5, Fine-tuning: 160
Note: A, Octave: 5, Fine-tuning: 90
Note: B, Octave: 5, Fine-tuning: 140
Note: C, Octave: 6, Fine-tuning: 190
Note: D, Octave: 6, Fine-tuning: 75

Feel free to tweak or rearrange as you see fit. Let me know how it vibes!

User
i put these notes into a 2 bar melody. please create notes for a slower, supporting melody, similar to a bass line or a chord progression in "normal music", but without chords. it should not have 16 notes, but much fewer, maybe 4, or a bit more. it will run 8 bars. and please output the fine-tuning in hexadecimal numbers now, as buzz uses hex numbers for such effects.

ChatGPT
Got it! Let's lay down a slower, supporting cosmic groove for 8 bars. Here's a simplified sequence:

Note: C, Octave: 3, Fine-tuning: 0x80
Note: G, Octave: 3, Fine-tuning: 0xA0
Note: E, Octave: 3, Fine-tuning: 0x60
Note: D, Octave: 3, Fine-tuning: 0xC0

This should give you a spaced-out, hypnotic foundation over 8 bars. Feel free to adjust the octaves or fine-tuning values to dial in the vibe you're looking for. Let the cosmic journey continue!

User
please do another melody with the same ideas as the first one; but a bit more complex, i.e. not just ascending.

ChatGPT
Sure thing! Let's add a bit more complexity to the cosmic microtonal journey with a varied melody. Here we go:

Note: F, Octave: 4, Fine-tuning: 0x70
Note: A#, Octave: 4, Fine-tuning: 0xD0

Part 14: Creating a draft for an Epic, Cosmic, and Spacey electronic track

We thought it might be time for something different!

Like with (most of) our other tutorials, it is based on a Chat Transcript with ChatGPT that shows these sounds were created in detail.

You know the drill by now, right?

Begin of Chat Transcript

User

Dear ChatGPT,

I worked with you on music in the past, and results were outstanding!

I want to work on a new track with you.

It should be an acid techno track.

It should be made up of various elements like melody, bassline, percussion and so on.

I will ask you to give me notes and pattern sequences for these elements step by step.

I will type these notes into my DAW then.

Later I put these various elements together (multi-track editing, so to say!), to create the full track.

The track should run at around 140 bpm.

But the first element should be the melody.

I want the track to have a special melody. It should be sad, melancholic, longing, dreamy, spacey, futuristic. but also give a sense of bliss and serenity. being bittersweet.

like the feeling one gets when one looks at the stars at night. cosmic longing!

it should be alluring and evoke powerful emotions among the listener.

What do you suggest, is it better to use chords or a melody? should the melody be made up of multiple parts (for example, 3 melodies, and various chords as well, making up a whole "melodic" experience)? or better keep it simple?

How long should the melody be, and how many notes should it incorporate?

Don't generate notes yet - consider these questions and aspects first, please.

ChatGPT

Hey there! Exciting stuff, diving into acid techno with a cosmic vibe. Considering your aim for a track that feels like gazing at the stars, I'd say go for a captivating melody that weaves a narrative. I'd recommend opting for a melody with multiple parts – it adds depth and emotion. Imagine it like chapters in a story, each part contributing to the overall cosmic longing.

In terms of length, aim for a melody that's long enough to develop the emotions but not too lengthy that it becomes repetitive. A good starting point could be around 16 bars, but it really depends on how you want the listener to experience that bittersweet journey.

As for notes, I'd suggest a balance between simplicity and complexity. Too simple might be forgettable, and too complex might be overwhelming. Introduce variations within the melody to keep it interesting. Also, consider the use of chords to add harmonic richness. You could start with a simple progression and gradually introduce more complexity.

Remember, the magic is in the details, so don't hesitate to experiment. Let your intuition guide you – after all, it's the emotions you want to evoke that matter the most.

Looking forward to crafting some stellar vibes together! 🚀🎶

[Note: In the end, the draft didn't turn out like acid techno at all. But that's usual with producing, that you eventually decide to go in a vastly different direction.]

User

okay, please give me notes for a 16 bar melody of this kind.

ChatGPT

Absolutely, let's sketch out a 16-bar melody for your cosmic acid techno journey. Given the emotions you're aiming for, we'll start with a simple yet evocative pattern. We're in the key of A minor, and here's a basic structure:

| A   E   G   F  | D   A   C   E  |

| F   G   A   C  | D   E   F   A  |

| A   E   G   F  | D   A   C   E  |

| F   G   A   C  | D   E   F   A  |

Feel free to adjust the rhythm and note lengths to fit the vibe you're going for. This is just a starting point, a canvas for you to paint your cosmic soundscape. Add bends, slides, or any other modulation to infuse that futuristic, spacey feel.

Remember, the key is to strike a balance between repetition and variation to keep the listener engaged. Play around with it, and let's see how this foundation feels for your track! 🌌🎵

User

can you also indicate the octave of each note

ChatGPT

Absolutely, let's add some octave information to guide you. We'll use numbers to represent octaves, with 4 being the middle C. Here's the revised 16-bar melody with indicated octaves:

| A4  E4  G4  F4 | D4  A4  C5  E5 |

| F4  G4  A4  C5 | D4  E4  F4  A4 |

| A4  E4  G4  F4 | D4  A4  C5  E5 |

| F4  G4  A4  C5 | D4  E4  F4  A4 |

Feel free to explore different octaves or tweak the melody as needed. This should give you a good starting point to infuse that cosmic, longing atmosphere into your track. 🚀🎶

User

is this melody in a major tuning?

ChatGPT

No, the melody I provided is in A minor, which is a minor key. The key signature and the choice of notes, including the presence of G natural instead of G# in the melody, indicate a minor tonality. This aligns well with the melancholic and bittersweet feelings you're aiming for in your acid techno track. If you want to maintain that cosmic longing and dreamy vibe, sticking with a minor key is a solid choice. Feel free to experiment further and tweak elements based on your creative instincts! 🎹🎶

User

could you generate some chords that could accompany this melody?

ChatGPT

Absolutely, let's create some chords to accompany the A minor melody. We'll use basic triads to keep it straightforward and build a harmonic foundation. Here are some chord progressions for the 16-bar melody:

| Am  | E   | G   | F   | Dm  | Am  | C   | E   |

| F   | G   | Am  | C   | Dm  | E   | F   | Am  |

| Am  | E   | G   | F   | Dm  | Am  | C   | E   |

| F   | G   | Am  | C   | Dm  | E   | F   | Am  |

Feel free to experiment with the rhythm and timing of the chord changes. This progression should provide a solid harmonic support to your melody. As always, trust your ears and make adjustments according to the vibe you're aiming for. 🎸🎵

User

an E chord implicates the use of E4 G#4 B4, right?

ChatGPT

Yes, you're absolutely right! An E major chord is typically composed of the notes E4, G#4, and B4. In the context of your chord progression, the E major chord (E) would include those notes. Here's a breakdown for reference:

| Am  | E (E4 G#4 B4) | G   | F   | Dm  | Am  | C   | E (E4 G#4 B4) |

| F   | G   | Am  | C   | Dm  | E (E4 G#4 B4) | F   | Am  |

| Am  | E (E4 G#4 B4) | G   | F   | Dm  | Am  | C   | E (E4 G#4 B4) |

| F   | G   | Am  | C   | Dm  | E (E4 G#4 B4) | F   | Am  |

This should align well with the mood you're aiming for in your cosmic acid techno track. Feel free to adjust or experiment further based on your creative instincts! 🎸🎶

User

but the notes G and A are already in this melody. wouldn't an G# clash with these?

ChatGPT

You raise a valid point. If you're concerned about potential clashes and want to maintain a more cohesive sound with the existing melody, you can modify the E major chord to an E minor chord (Emin), which would use E4, G4, and B4. This adjustment should complement the A minor melody without introducing a clash with the G# note. Here's the updated chord progression:

| Am  | Emin (E4 G4 B4) | G   | F   | Dm  | Am  | C   | Emin (E4 G4 B4) |

| F   | G   | Am  | C   | Dm  | Emin (E4 G4 B4) | F   | Am  |

| Am  | Emin (E4 G4 B4) | G   | F   | Dm  | Am  | C   | Emin (E4 G4 B4) |

| F   | G   | Am  | C   | Dm  | Emin (E4 G4 B4) | F   | Am  |

This adjustment should create a more harmonically consistent blend with your A minor melody. Feel free to play around with it and see how it fits with the overall vibe of your track. 🎹🎶

User

no, will keep it as it was. are there any other sharp notes in this chord progression besides the E chords?

ChatGPT

In the provided chord progression, the only instance of a sharp note is in the E major chord (E). The chord contains the notes E4, G#4, and B4. The other chords in the progression use natural notes. Here's a quick overview:

E major chord (E): E4, G#4, B4 (contains G#, which is a sharp note)

Other chords: Am, G, F, Dm, C (use natural notes)

If you're comfortable with the presence of G# in the E major chord and don't find it conflicting with your melody, then you're good to go. Feel free to experiment and trust your ears to ensure everything fits well in the overall sonic landscape of your track. 🎵🎶

[Time passes...]

User

I created a draft track with the melodic and harmonic elements we already created. I played a bit around with the sound and noted that at a slower speed, the pads and chords even sounded much more epic.

I added a 909 drum, crash cymbal, and snare to it (all at a slow speed) and starting jamming!

And this draft / jam already sounded really special and cool.

It's a bit like a mixture of your sonic input, some of my own ideas, and my jamming!

I decided to keep this recording, because I'm happy with it, and leave everything "at it is" for now.

Maybe some time in the future we can work on a new / extended edit of it.

ChatGPT

That sounds fantastic! It's awesome to hear that the combination of our ideas and your own creativity resulted in a special and cool draft. Keeping the recording and leaving things as they are for now is a great decision. It's always a good idea to let a track marinate for a while and then revisit it with fresh ears later on.

If and when you decide to work on a new or extended edit in the future, I'd be more than happy to dive back in and contribute to the creative process. In the meantime, enjoy the vibes of your current creation, and here's to more exciting musical journeys ahead! 🎶🚀

Tutorial Part 13: How to produce a complete Techno track with ChatGPT in only 2 hours

Hello,
and welcome to a new part of the tutorial series - the 13th part already!
While the recent parts were about more general ways ChatGPT can help you with producing music - such as generating melodies, rhythms, mastering, etc, this one is finally about creating a whole track again. Creating a track from start to finish, to be exact!

(The other parts of the tutorials can be accessed here:
https://laibyrinth.blogspot.com/p/how-to-create-music-with-chatgpt.html
They are more or less essential for understanding this one, too.)

The idea was to show how easy and smooth it is to work on music, and produce tracks, together with ChatGPT.
And, I kid you not, the whole process really took only around 2 hours.
Uploading the track, formatting the chat transcript, posting the whole thing, took longer than the actual production process!

I still can't believe how smooth it all went. Really just like kicking back, "chillaxing", drinking a beverage, having a chat with ChatGPT about music production and - voila! - your track is finished.

Due to the nature of this tutorial, this is a pretty straight-forward and essentially "simple" track.
It would be easy to built on the draft ChatGPT provided, and create something much more complex and eclectic.
But this then might not take 2, but 3 hours, so be warned ;-)

(Btw: People who dislike AI music, and fear that "tons of AI music" will get "churned out", might not like this whole thing. Because if you can do a Techno track with ChatGPT in 2 hours, then everything will be possible in the future :-)

While this is an Oldschool Acid Trance Techno track at its core, I followed ChatGPT's instructions to add elements of modulation and change to it, too, so it get's quite disharmonious and strange at parts.
Here be dragons. Just so you know.

Also, as I worked with ChatGPT on this track, it of course spun it towards my own flavor. If there are elements or parts that you dislike about the track (e.g. "it could be faster", "it could be slower", "more distorted", "less distorted"...), then it would be very easy for *you* to collaborate with ChatGPT on a track that has exactly the elements and the style that *you* want!

The actual track can be heard here:

But let's get ahead with that chat transcript.

[Note: the transcript was slightly edited for clarity.]

Begin of Chat Transcript

User
Dear ChatGPT,
I worked with you on music in the past. I want to work on a new track with you.
It should be a surreal and futuristic acid techno track.

I want it to have the following elements in the track:

1. An acid bassline
2. A 909 type bassdrum
3. A 808 type snare drum
4. A 808 type cowbell sound
5. A 808 type clap
6. A 808 type closed hihat
7. A 808 type open hihat
8. A 909 type ride cymbal
9. A 909 type crash cymbal
10.A futuristic synth melody

I will ask you to give me notes and pattern sequences for these elements step by step.

ChatGPT
Yo, what's up! Excited to work on a new track with you. Let's dive into the elements you want in this surreal and futuristic acid techno vibe.

1. Acid Bassline:
Start with a classic 303-style bassline. Let's keep it modulating, tweaking those resonance and cutoff knobs to get that hypnotic acid feel. Aim for a rolling, evolving groove.

2. 909 Type Bassdrum:
For that thumping low end, go for a 909 bassdrum. Crank up the attack to give it a punchy feel. Adjust decay and tune to taste, but keep it deep and driving.

3. 808 Type Snare Drum:
Bring in the 808 snare for that fat, snappy hit. Tweak the decay and snappiness to fit the pace. A bit of reverb could add some extra space.

4. 808 Type Cowbell Sound:
Let's get a bit funky with the 808 cowbell. Place it strategically to emphasize certain beats or transitions. Experiment with the pitch to find that sweet spot.

5. 808 Type Clap:
Drop in the 808 clap for some extra texture. Adjust the decay and maybe layer it subtly with the snare for a fuller sound.

6. 808 Type Closed Hihat:
Bring in the closed hi-hat on the off-beats, maintaining that relentless techno drive. Adjust the decay and maybe throw in some subtle velocity changes for a dynamic feel.

7. 808 Type Open Hihat:
Open hi-hat on the upbeat to add variation and intensity. Experiment with openness and decay to find the right vibe.

8. 909 Type Ride Cymbal:
Let's introduce the 909 ride cymbal for some high-frequency shimmer. Play with the decay to control its sustain.

9. 909 Type Crash Cymbal:
Use the 909 crash for impactful transitions. Place it strategically, maybe before a breakdown or a major shift in the track.

10. Futuristic Synth Melody:
This is where the magic happens. Craft a futuristic synth melody that complements the acid bassline. Experiment with unique sounds and effects, and don't be afraid to get experimental.

Once you've laid down these elements, we can fine-tune and add more layers to make it truly mind-bending. Let me know how this sounds and we'll keep the creative juices flowing!

[Note: ChatGPT's suggestions in this part are nice, but I already had made up my own mind, so I did not follow up on all of them.]

User
Thank you very much! I am looking forward to our new collaboration, too.
Let's go through it step by step now.

Step 1: please give me notes for a suitable acid bassline loop.

ChatGPT
Absolutely, let's kick things off with that infectious acid bassline! For a surreal and futuristic acid techno vibe, I suggest starting in the key of A minor. Here are some notes to get your bassline rolling:

1. A (octave 2)
2. C (octave 2)
3. D (octave 2)
4. E (octave 2)
5. G (octave 1)
6. A (octave 1)
7. C (octave 1)
8. D (octave 1)

Feel free to experiment with variations and slides between the notes to add that classic acid character. Play around with the resonance and cutoff to modulate the sound and create movement in your loop. Let me know how this foundation feels, and we can tweak it based on your preferences!

User
at what bpm do you suggest, should these notes be?

ChatGPT
For that proper acid techno groove, I recommend a BPM range of 130 to 140. Let's aim for a sweet spot around 135 BPM. This tempo provides a good balance between energy and danceability, giving your track that signature techno drive.

Feel free to adjust slightly based on your personal preference or the overall vibe you're going for. Once we lock in the BPM, we can fine-tune the acid bassline and start building the rest of the elements. Let me know if this works for you!

User
i tested the bass line and it sounds genius! well done. could you do another one, that i could use in the middle part of the track? to add a bit of variation.

ChatGPT
Glad to hear the first bassline is hitting the right notes! Let's cook up something fresh for the middle section to keep it interesting. I'll stick with A minor for continuity, but we can tweak it to add variation. Here's a different acid bassline for the middle part:

1. A (octave 2)
2. G (octave 1)
3. E (octave 1)
4. D (octave 1)
5. C (octave 2)
6. A (octave 2)
7. G (octave 2)
8. E (octave 2)

Feel free to experiment with the timing, slides, or any other tweaks you feel would fit the vibe of your track. Let me know how it meshes with the overall feel, and we can keep building from there!

User
alright! even though i listed the synth melody as "element number 10", i think it's more sensible to do the melody as the next step. so we have all melody stuff ready, before we go on to the percussion.

please craft a melody for use in this track. i will use the notes on my softsynth.

ChatGPT
Absolutely, let's shape up a futuristic and surreal melody to complement the acid bassline. Sticking to our A minor key, here's a synth melody that should vibe well with the acid techno atmosphere:

1. A (octave 3)
2. E (octave 3)
3. G (octave 2)
4. C (octave 3)
5. D (octave 2)
6. A (octave 2)
7. E (octave 2)
8. G (octave 2)

Feel free to experiment with the timing, articulation, and maybe throw in some pitch bends or modulation for that extra futuristic touch. Let me know how this melody resonates with you, and if you have any adjustments in mind!

User
this sounds great as well! I added a lofi degrader effect (that reduces the sample rate) to it to make it sounds more futuristic.

ChatGPT
Nice touch with the lofi degrader effect! That's a clever move to enhance the futuristic vibe. It can add some grit and character to the melody, fitting perfectly with the overall aesthetic of acid techno.

As we move forward, keep experimenting with effects and subtle tweaks to make the track uniquely yours. Now that we've got the melody and bassline in the bag, we can dive into the percussion elements. Ready to lay down some beats?

User
yes, but before we do that, i had another idea: i think some synth pads would be a nice addition to the bassline and the synth melody. i will use lots of reverb on them to create a feeling of space and futurism. they should run longer than the other melodies; for example, a loop that encompasses 32 beats (which does not mean there has to be a note on every beat!). do you think single notes, or chords would be preferable?

ChatGPT
Great call on adding synth pads to expand the sonic landscape! For a surreal and futuristic feel with lots of reverb, I'd suggest going with chords. They can create a more lush and atmospheric texture, fitting well with the space and futurism you're aiming for.

Let's keep it simple yet effective. Here's a suggestion for a synth pad loop spanning 32 beats:

1. A minor chord (A, C, E) - Hold for 8 beats
2. D minor chord (D, F, A) - Hold for 8 beats
3. G major chord (G, B, D) - Hold for 8 beats
4. E minor chord (E, G, B) - Hold for 8 beats

This progression complements the A minor key and gives a nice emotional arc over the 32 beats. Feel free to adjust the voicings or try different chord progressions that resonate with the overall mood you're aiming for.

After laying down these pads, play around with reverb settings to create that expansive and ethereal atmosphere. Let me know how it vibes with the rest of the elements!

User
this melody is awesome! it is soothing and relaxing.
please generate another synth pad melody that is a bit more "disharmonic", but it should still stay in tune, more or less. i want to use it as a variation in some parts of the tracks, to add some spice and thrill to it.

ChatGPT
I'm glad you enjoyed the first melody! Let's introduce a bit more edge with a "disharmonic" synth pad variation. We'll keep it within the A minor framework, but with a more unconventional twist. Here's a suggestion:

1. A minor add9 chord (A, B, C, E) - Hold for 8 beats
2. E diminished 7th chord (E, G, Bb, Db) - Hold for 8 beats
3. D minor 7th chord (D, F, A, C) - Hold for 8 beats
4. G minor add9 chord (G, A, Bb, D) - Hold for 8 beats

This progression introduces some dissonance and tension while still maintaining a connection to the A minor tonality. It should add that spice and thrill you're looking for. Experiment with different chord voicings or modify the progression as needed.

Feel free to play around with the reverb and other effects to enhance the atmospheric quality. Let me know how it fits into your track, and we can keep the creative flow going!

User
I notice it's a variation based on the first chord melody! nice idea. and it sounds really good again.
now let's move on to the percussion. i will give you detailed instructions in the next prompt.

ChatGPT
Sounds like a plan! Whenever you're ready with the detailed instructions for the percussion, hit me up, and we'll continue shaping up this track. Looking forward to it!

User
element 2 - the 909 type drum - will simply go at a 4-to-the-floor rhythm at 140 bpm. so i don't need any sequences for that.

but please give me a sequence for element 3 - 808 type snare drum. i'm interested in an "oldschool" acid / techno rhythm, when the percussive elements were often faster, more frantic, and chaotic than in more "modern" techno productions. but it doesn't have to be an exact copy of oldschool rhythms, feel free to generate what you think works best - let it roll!

and please give the sequence a drum roll format type output so i can add it easier to my daw.

ChatGPT
Absolutely, let's bring that oldschool acid/techno vibe to the 808 snare drum! Going for a more frantic and chaotic rhythm, here's a sequence that should get things grooving:
Here's the 808 snare drum sequence in a drum roll format for easier integration into your DAW:

1. [x---x---]
2. [----x---]
3. [x------x]
4. [----x---]
5. [--x-----]
6. [----x---]
7. [--x----x]
8. [----x---]

Each "x" represents a snare hit, and the dashes signify where there's no snare hit. Feel free to adjust the placement of hits or add/subtract elements based on your preferences. Let me know how this fits in your track!

[Note: I'm not certain what ChatGPT meant with this output format. Maybe it made a slight error, or I just did not understand it right. Maybe it crafted all percussive elements at once. But this "issue" was easily "solved".]

User
let's do it again. give a drum roll type output, but only in one row / channel, for the snare drum loop. the loop should run 4 beats (1 bar) in total.

ChatGPT
Certainly! Here's a simplified drum roll output for the 808 snare drum loop running 4 beats (1 bar) in one row/channel:

[x---x---x---x---]

This represents a continuous pattern where each "x" corresponds to a snare hit. Feel free to adjust the timing or add more complexity as needed. Let me know how this works for you!

User
already good, but make it more frantic / chaotic, like the oldschool etc. elements i mentioned above.

ChatGPT
Absolutely, let's crank up the chaos for that oldschool vibe. Here's a more frantic and chaotic drum roll for the 808 snare drum, running 4 beats (1 bar):

[x---x--x--x-x---]

Feel the madness! Adjustments are totally welcome, so let me know if you want more or less chaos in the mix.

User
sounds good! now the same for element 4. A 808 type cowbell sound

ChatGPT
Let's bring in the chaos for the 808 cowbell! Here's a more frantic and chaotic drum roll for the cowbell, running 4 beats (1 bar):

[x-x---x--x---x-]

Feel free to tweak it as needed. Let me know how this fits into the overall groove!

User
perfect! now the same for 5. A 808 type clap

ChatGPT
Let's keep the chaotic energy going with the 808 clap! Here's a more frantic and chaotic drum roll for the clap, running 4 beats (1 bar):

[x---x--x-x---x-]

Feel free to adjust or let me know if you'd like any changes. Ready to keep the rhythm flowing!

User
now 6. 6. A 808 type closed hihat

ChatGPT
Let's get that 808 closed hi-hat rolling with some chaos! Here's a more frantic and chaotic drum roll for the closed hi-hat, running 4 beats (1 bar):

[x-x--x-x--x--x-]

Feel free to tweak it to your liking or let me know if you have any specific adjustments in mind. Ready to keep building that groove!

User
now 7. A 808 type open hihat

ChatGPT
Let's add some chaos to the 808 open hi-hat! Here's a more frantic and chaotic drum roll for the open hi-hat, running 4 beats (1 bar):

[x---x---x---x-x]

Feel free to play around with it or let me know if you'd like any adjustments. Ready to keep the energy flowing in your track!

User
not bad! but please do a faster rhythm for the open hihat

ChatGPT
Certainly! Let's speed up the rhythm for the 808 open hi-hat. Here's a faster and more frantic drum roll, running 4 beats (1 bar):

[x-x-x-x--x--x-x]

Feel the acceleration! Adjustments are welcome, so let me know if this aligns with your vision or if you want any modifications. Ready to keep the momentum going!

User
great! now 8. A 909 type ride cymbal

ChatGPT
Let's bring in the intensity with a frantic drum roll for the 909 ride cymbal! Here's a more chaotic pattern, running 4 beats (1 bar):

[x---x-x--x---x-]

Feel free to adjust or let me know if you have specific changes in mind. Ready to keep the ride cymbal grooving in the mix!

User
and finally: 9. A 909 type crash cymbal

ChatGPT

I finished recording the track and it sounds *awesome*. You did an outstanding work!

I added two further elements: a simple second bassline with just a bass sound inbetween the drumbeats (on every 3rd, 7th, 11th 1/16 note, and so on) and a 808 type cymbal running straight on every 16th note to add some extra groove and drive.

Plus I tweaked and twitched the basslines, pads, and drums in some parts of the track heavily, sometimes in a harmonious way, but also giving to a dose of weird and exciting modulation of the sounds :-)
