I'm working on a WhatsApp AI bot for my group chats, specifically for my friends' soccer group chat where we organize our Wednesday matches. We have a bunch of "problems" that I think are ripe for bot automation. WhatsApp is what all of us hispanic people use and it's particularly interesting because Meta doesn't really provide you with much tooling to build bots, unlike Telegram. I started this weekend and went all in on cursor. I also streamed the whole process, so yeah, apparently I'm also a streamer now. Check them out at https://www.youtube.com/@alexon_v1/streams.

Show HN: Diva Copilot – generate synth presets with plain English

aecorredor — Sun, 12 Jan 2025 00:24:33 +0000

Hey guys! I just finished building the first version of a tool I think a lot of Diva fans will enjoy a lot. It's called Diva Copilot. It's basically ChatGPT but for generating .h2p file presets for Diva. You type the description of the sound you want and Diva Copilot generates the preset file for you. You can download the file from the dashboard from anywhere you want. The preset quality is actually super good for the v1 of the product. I've built a custom RAG system that integrates with OpenAI, so that's why results are orders of magnitude better than what you get from something like ChatGPT directly.

I've got a good number of ideas for making it even better coming down the line, so I'd love to start getting some feedback on what people think. The landing page has some preset examples I generated and uploaded to SoundCloud, and now that the V1 is done I'm working on a demo track + a tutorial video. I'll also be uploading more cool presets I've generated lately just to have more examples.

I'm starting out with a free trial that includes 10 free presets + a monthly/yearly plan that includes 50 presets a month + the ability to buy on-demand credits.

I hope you guys enjoy it. All feedback is appreciated!

Thanks!

Ableton is awesome for putting this type of stuff out. The learning music section is also great. And, it's a perfect post for a shameless plug: I built a u-he Diva (my favorite VST synth) tool for generating presets with AI. It's called Diva Copilot and it can be accessed at https://divacopilot.com - I started out by offering a free trial with 10 free presets and then a monthly $20 plan with 50 presets. You can also buy on-demand credits. It works on top of a custom built RAG system that then uses GPT-4o for actually generating .h2p files. I'm mainly working on improving the knowledge base so that results get better and better. Still, you can already get some super good results. I put some examples in the landing page. Would love to get some feedback!

I’m a customer and it’s awesome. I think we’ve even exchanged emails about some questions I’ve had. When I paid for the premium version I thought it was super good for what I was getting. You must be getting a ton of traffic for it to still be paying rent after 8 years! Congrats!

aecorredor — Fri, 05 Jan 2024 17:12:08 +0000

I started learning on my own about two years ago and I only used simplypiano and youtube. I’m able to play with both hands now and can learn songs pretty quickly by watching youtube videos. I can also read some music thanks to simplypiano. I noticed quicker progress when I sat down to learn songs I really liked (in comparison to just learning what everybody else tells you to learn).

The godotneers video on Godot Components was clutch. Thanks!

Thanks! Hadn’t heard about the book. Do you feel it’s worth diving into the GDQuest courses even though they are v3? Given the price, I feel like I should wait until they release the v4 versions.

I actually did find you guys last week. I didn’t buy anything because I’m waiting for the Godot 4 3D shooter game, since that’s exactly what I want to make. Having focus on code organization + best practices would also be awesome.

aecorredor — Mon, 09 Oct 2023 19:20:48 +0000

I've been getting into game dev lately and chose to start with Godot 4, given all the recent events. I've spent quite a lot of time looking for quality learning resources, and most of them are on YouTube. The problem with that is that you don't really get a well structured path, and most of the times you don't really find stuff that's meant to be production ready.

New comment by aecorredor in "Native JSON Output from GPT-4"

aecorredor — Wed, 14 Jun 2023 21:17:28 +0000

Newbie in machine learning here. It’s crazy that this is the top post just today. I’ve been doing the intro to deep learning course from MIT this week, mainly because I have a ton of JSON files that are already classified, and want to train a model that can generate new JSON data by taking classification tags as input.

So naturally this post is exciting. My main unknown right now is figuring out which model to train my data on. An RNN, a GAN, a diffusion model?

Music production on this is going to be crazy good.

Yeah, that’s for sure something I’ve looked at (like developing VST plugins for ableton for example). But that market seems pretty saturated too.

I’ve been looking for insights from people in the industry about problems they have now (that software could solve), but it’s been pretty hard.

I’m also learning piano + guitar + ableton, so maybe as I go I’ll have problems that I could solve for myself and others.

Looking for tips from anybody here who’s done it already. What can one expect? Is it profitable enough?

EDIT: to be clear, I mean making a transition while leveraging software.

The app also works great on iPad btw. I think ableton missed advertising for it since there’s now iOS and iPadOS.
