At #IntelligentInstrumentsLab recording the #sophtar going through a RAVE model trained on Korean chants. The audio of the feedbacking strings goes through the model while the pressure on each of the eight segments of the fretboard shifts each of the eight latent dimensions of the autoencoder. You can also hear @thor coming through the door 🙂 #IIL #NIME #DMI #ML #feedback
