## What it is
Magenta Studio is a collection of five MIDI music generation plugins (Continue, Generate, Interpolate, Groove, Drumify) for Ableton Live, built on Magenta's open source machine learning models. It is implemented as a Max for Live device containing a web application built with Lit that runs via Chromium Embedded Framework and communicates with Live through a local Node for Max express server.

## Use cases
- generate new MIDI melodies and drum patterns inside Ableton Live
- continue an existing MIDI clip with a machine learning model
- interpolate between two MIDI clips to create variations
- humanize MIDI drum clips with groove models
- convert MIDI clips into drum patterns with Drumify
- apply ML-based music generation to Session View clips

## When to avoid
- you don't use Ableton Live or Max for Live
- you need polyphonic melody input, which is limited to monophonic melodies
- you need actively maintained standalone apps, which are no longer supported
- you need real-time audio synthesis rather than MIDI generation

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
