For now...
It's called projection..
Gross
Music, even the boring practice, is one of the few remaining joys in my life
I used to keep a piano keyboard next to my computer for loading downtime, and it was the least depressed days of my life.
Why not do it again then? Even a small keyboard might do.
I gave it to a relative that wanted to learn piano and I was too busy with work to sit at the comp/piano station, then never got around to getting another. I have a second hand seaboard now but I haven't looked into setting it up or if it even works under linux
seaboard
This? That is... holy shit, really cool! I didn't think there was anything beyond velocity and polyphony in terms of expanding the capabilities of what a keyboard controller could do. I kinda want one myself, now.
Also, LOL at the the other thing they sell that looks like a Theremin but actually uses computer vision to turn your hand gestures into MIDI commands. I don't know what drugs that company's product designers are on, but it's the good shit.
or if it even works under linux

A Yamaha Reface is a lovely thing for just that.
Tell that to the $1700 guitar I just bought
Or the $600 guitar, $600 baritone guitar and $600 fretless bass I just bought. 🥴
Ahh but you have both fallen into the guitarist's blunder. They get you to BUY the guitars, and amps, and pedals, but you do not use them to make music. Hence the CEO is right! Mwahaha
Now excuse me, a package from Sweetwater just arrived.

Or the $200 guitar I've spent a small fortune to upgrade. Or the MIDI controller I've fixed and planning on turning it into a Jankó-style keyboard. Or the few software synths I've made for my game engine.
Suno... the app I use to send shitty personalized birthday songs...
or to play tacky bard songs for my DnD character, which is the perfect use case IMHO!
Why do I keep buying synths then?
This is the kind of thing you say when you never learned how to play Blitzkreig Bop.

Maybe if he could make it subscription-based and monetize peoples' creativity...
The only use I have found for AI music generation software is for the app to make me a loop in the correct key and tempo so I can practice guitar against it. Even then I still prefer a ticker most of the time.
