The Infinite Crate

The Infinite Crate is a plugin that integrates Lyria RealTime directly into your DAW, reducing barriers to interactively create, control, and perform music in the moment.

Overview

Welcome to the Infinite Crate. An imaginary crate of vinyl you can dig though to create a continually evolving stream of music filled with latent interpolations and wild new sounds for you to find.

The Infinite Crate is an experimental DAW plugin built on the new Lyria RealTime live music model in the Gemini API. The plugin allows users to mix together text prompts to steer a live music model in real-time, feeding audio directly into your DAW for sampling, live performance, or just giving you a practice partner to jam with.

Usage

Dig in the Crate

Explore new sounds by blending and merging genres, moods, instruments, or anything you can think of. Sample the stream of music to spark your own inspiration or help you get past a creative block.

Jam Along

Jam with Lyria RealTime by using it to create dynamic backing tracks that are different every time, varying and evolving as you play on top.

Be a Prompt DJ

Play Lyria RealTime like a live instrument. Use prompts and advanced controls to vary the instrumentation, texture, and genre. Incorporate with a DJ set to apply effects and mix with other loops.

Controls

• BPM: Influences the model to generate audio at the specified BPM; it is imprecise. Set this to [SYNC] to instruct the model to generate audio at the specified BPM. Set this to [DAW] to use the BPM setting from your DAW.
• Key: Instructs the model to generate audio in the specified key. It's imprecise and does not differentiate between major and relative minor.
• TopK: Top-k sampling is a technique used to control the diversity of the generated audio. Lower values make the model more deterministic.
• Temp: Influences the randomness of the model. Lower values make the model more deterministic.
• Density: Controls the density of the audio. Higher values generate busier sounds. Turn this off to let the model decide.
• Bright: Controls the brightness of the audio. Higher values generate more high frequency content. Turn this off to let the model decide.
• Mute Bass / Drums / Other: Attempts to mute bass, drums, and other sounds from the plugins.
• Guidance: Influences how much the model will try to match the text prompts and parameters (prompts) vs the most recently generated audio (context).
