The instrument app Jam lets users enter a genre description to start music playback and adjust pitch via keyboard, MacBook keyboard, or MIDI keyboard. The DAW plugin MRT2 integrates Magenta RealTime 2 into music production software. A demo video shows MRT2 linked with a gesture-input app, allowing music to be played through hand gestures. The models are distributed on Hugging Face, and code and documentation are on GitHub for anyone to develop apps.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Google released Magenta RealTime 2, a local music AI with free apps and DAW plugins.
