tidal-rave

Live coding RAVE neural audio synthesis models using TidalCycles and SuperDirt.

Dependencies

Note: if you have a previous version of rave-supercollider installed in your SuperCollider Extensions folder, delete it, otherwise you will experience Symbol not found errors for libtorch.

Usage

Add the RAVE OSC target (rave.hs) to your TidalCycles Boot.hs.
Run rave.scd after SuperDirt has started.
Test the patterns in rave.tidal.

Models

You can find various CC-licensed models here: https://huggingface.co/Intelligent-Instruments-Lab/rave-models

You can also train your own models, see https://github.com/caillonantoine/RAVE.

For faster training via transfer learning, see https://github.com/victor-shepardson/RAVE.

Limitations

This is a simple way of using RAVE in SuperDirt and is quite limited.

SuperDirt

RAVE models are mono.
One RAVE model is assigned to one orbit.
rave.scd replaces SuperDirt output buses of Orbits 0, 1 and 2 with it's own bus.
No DirtPan currently interated into rave.scd.

Tidal

Most of rave.hs is only necessary because of rave.scd. If the latter can be improved, then only the custom parameters would be needed in Tidal.
Not possible currently to pattern the RAVE model itself due to the SuperDirt limitations described above.
RAVE latents not currently implemented on Tidal side.

TODO

Improved integration with SuperDirt
RAVE Prior variations
Mixing and match encoders and decoders
Patterning model names from Tidal (via Ndef?)
