We propose an application of SeqGAN, generative adversarial networks for discrete sequence generation, for creating polyphonic musical sequences. Instead of monophonic melody generation suggested in the original work, we present an efficient representation of polyphony MIDI file that captures chords and melodies with dynamic timings simultaneously. The network can create sequences that are musi...

Finding multiple occurrences of themes and patterns in music can be hampered due to polyphonic textures. This is caused by the complexity of music that weaves multiple independent lines of music together. We present and demonstrate a system, VoiSe, that is capable of isolating individual voices in both explicit and implicit polyphonic music. VoiSe is designed to work on a symbolic representatio...
