Magenta RealTime's core features include:
- Real-time music generation: Generates 2-second music clips based on text (e.g. "light jazz") or audio cues with a response time of only about 1.25 seconds, making it suitable for live performances;
- Multi-modal inputs: Supports mixed text and audio cues for flexible control of music style and tempo;
- Cross-stylistic fusion: Different styles can be mixed by adjusting the weights (e.g. 60% Electronic + 40% Classical);
- open source deployment: Full code and model weights are provided, with support for Google Colab, local GPU/TPU or CPU runs;
- Low Latency Integration: Can be embedded in browsers, DAW plugins (e.g. Ableton Live) or game engines (Unity/Unreal).
Its core technology is based on the 800M-parameter Transformer architecture, trained with 190,000 hours of instrumental data, emphasizing dynamic interaction and creative assistance.
