BassNet is a new AI music tool prototype by Sony CSL. With BassNet you can interactively explore bass lines for your music project. BassNet is designed to react to any musical material you may already have in your project, rather than producing bass lines from scratch.
A distinctive feature of BassNet is that you can control the way the bass reacts to the input audio while listening, simply by moving a point within a square (the latent space). Some regions in the square will produce simple and functional bass lines, while others give you more adventurous, if not crazy results.
