HI
this is the core of KIM, and the all others algorithm generators like chatGpt: Generative adversarial networks, based on transformers encoder-decoder architecture (a deep learning algorithms that revolutionizing a lot of things, like chat bot, image and video generation) can recreate the voice of dead people..as in the case of John Lenon...and obviously coherent midi sequences...all these algorithms are trained on a huge amount of data, as in our case, sequences of notes of songs..etc..
ok, i introduced myself :)) I work daily with this type of algorithms and I love playing music in my free time;
I'm here for advice...I'm trying the demo of synfire express...and also I am informing about "orb producer suite 3"...it too uses a generative model of phrases....at 1/7 of price...!
I state that I am a complete novice regarding this type of software, then:
could any of You experts advise me or compare the two software? I certainly immediately noticed that Synfire 2 is more evolved and allows you more control over the writing of figures and phrases...
thanks in advantage e sorry for my bad english!

Welcome to the forum!
Thanks for introducing yourself.

There are a lot of generative music utilities out there (and have been for some time), some even for free. What distinguishes them is the quality of their output and the integrated workflows offer (or not).
I haven't used Orb Producer Suite. Workflow-wise they generate MIDI as a plug-in inside your DAW, so you probably end up with isolated static phrases to copy and paste. This may be fine if you need a bass line here, or some chords there. Many people seem to be happy with it, so it seems to have its use.
What plug-ins can't do however, is offer you a dynamic perspective on your entire piece of music, including all instruments and parts, and allow you to change or replace everything anywhere and at any time. Synfire is a tool for shaping, warping and transforming the whole thing, not just isolated phrases.

I'm a former user of Orb Composer. It's been a while, and I'm not an expert in either OC or Synfire. But without getting into specifics, OC offers much less functionality than that provided by Synfire. There's really no comparison. Not even close.
The one thing OC has going for it is a far gentler learning curve, but that's because, again, there's far less to it.
Synfire can be daunting at first, but the rewards once you get up to speed are worth the effort involved in learning to use it. Wouldn't you rather use software that you can grow into, instead of software that will eventually feel like a straitjacket?
Do yourself a favor and choose Synfire. Thank me later, when you really start to understand what it can do, when you produce a piece of music that's better than anything you ever thought you were capable of.
No, I don't work for the company, and I'm not being paid to write these words. I'm just blown away by what Synfire brings to the table.
