RaveForce is awesome, you have a new GitHub star! Glicol is fascinating, but to be honest I'm not sure what the use case for writing music with code is? Please follow up since I'm curious to learn more. RAVE VST is also awesome, I played around with it a lot when it first came out.

I 100% agree with your point about Suno AI. If you're an amateur you want to be able to have the ability to control and change the output, otherwise how can you call the music your own? If you're a professional, without the ability to control you can never achieve your specific goals! This is why we feel confident in our musician-first approach.

WRT Midi generation we are absolutely considering it, but we don't think we can really offer anything unique there. We believe our ability to create natural sounding instruments is key to enabling the creation of all genres of music. With that said though, the ability to generate MIDI is #1 on our Canny board so maybe that should be next :)

Our text-to-sound model takes roughly 10 seconds to generate, and our Infinite Sample Packs are instant since we pre-compute output to hide latency.

Thank you for your thoughtful questions!

There is a long history of using PureData, Csound or relevant languages for designing sounds or composition.

Later SuperCollider and TidalCycles led the way in live coding. For me, I just wanted a tool that could write code, compose music or design sounds directly in the browser, play with friends and have sample-level control. From the perspective of sample level control, it seems to be two extremes compared with the black box of AI.

Very cool, thanks for the extra context!
