Dicy2 3.0: Dicy2 for Max & Ableton Live ! Latest
Latest

Brand new version of Dicy2 for Max implemented as a modular library !

Dicy2 for Max (formerly DYCI2) is a Max package implementing interactive agents using machine-learning to generate musical sequences that can be integrated into musical situations ranging from the production of structured material within a compositional process to the design of autonomous agents for improvised interaction. Check also our plugin for Ableton Live !

Artistic collaborations

Dicy2 integrates scientific and musical research results accumulated through productions and experiments with Rémi Fox, Steve Lehman, the Orchestre National de Jazz, Alexandros Markeas, Pascal Dusapin, Le Fresnoy - Studio National des Arts Contemporains, Vir Andres Hera, Gaëtan Robillard, Benoît Delbecq, Jozef Dumoulin, Ashley Slater, Hervé Sellin, Rodolphe Burger, Marta Gentilucci... After having evolved research prototypes crystallizing the contributions of these various projects for several years, a collaborative work carried out during the year 2022 has led to the finalization of a release of Dicy2 as a plugin for Ableton Live and a library for Max.

Dicy2 tutorials and examples

This distribution includes agents and sound files from past productions with our friends and collaborating musicians and composers who helped bring Dicy2 to life (courtesy of the artists). Please do not use these agents and files in any context other than these tutorials to respect their work and generosity.

"Doublebass_Perrot_Fox.wav, Guitar_Caillou_Fox.wav, and Voice_Daumergue_Fox.wav" were respectively recorded by Alex Perrot, Thomas Caillou, and Manu Daumergue during Rémi Fox's residency at Ircam for the concerts and first album of "C'est pour ça".
"Balafon_Lehman_ExMachina.wav" and "SaxPlayingMode_Lehman_ExMachina.wav" were recorded by Steve Lehman for "Ex Machina" with Orchestre National de Jazz.
"Texture_Maurin_ExMachina.wav" was recorded by Fred Maurin for "Ex Machina" with Orchestre National de Jazz.
"Piano_Markeas_Music-Of-Choices.wav" was recorded by Alexandros Markeas for "Music of Choices".
"Soprano_Gentilucci.wav" was recorded by Marta Gentilucci during her residency "Female Singing Voice's Vibrato and Tremolo: Analysis, Mapping and Improvisation" at Ircam.
"Fox_Sax_1/2/3.aif" comes from a performance of "C'est pour ça" at Ircam.
"Nox3_LucidDreams.wav" comes from the song "Lucid Dreams" by Nox3.

Authors

Dicy2 is a library of the Ircam Musical Representations team, designed and developed by Jérôme Nika, Augustin Muller (Max library), Joakim Borg (Python generative engine / Gig RepMus API), and Matthew Ostrowski (tutorial patchers and videos, abstractions) in the framework of the projects ANR-DYCI2, ANR-MERCI, ERC-REACH directed by Gérard Assayag, and the UPI-CompAI Ircam project.
The audio use cases have been designed and developed with Diemo Schwarz and Riccardo Borghesi, and use the MuBu and CataRT environments of the ISMM team of Ircam. Max4Live plugin by Manuel Poletti.

DYCI2 1.0 --> This release is not a release.

Brand new version coming very soon !

This upload brings minor fixes to the previous release...

... but we rather recommend you to be patient because a brand new version of DYCI2 will be released within a month!

Real modular library, tutorials, videos, and Max4Live device... Stay tuned!

DYCI2_library

The DYCI2 library contains a collection of generative agents and tools for human-machine live interaction. It integrates the results of the DYCI2 project and shapes a next-generation software with regard to OMax.

If using the library, please quote: Nika, J., Déguernel, K., Chemla, A., Vincent, E., & Assayag, G. (2017, October). Dyci2 agents: merging the" free"," reactive", and" scenario-based" music generation paradigms. In International Computer Music Conference. (Article).

Author: Jérôme Nika (IRCAM STMS LAB) ; Contributors: Joakim Borg (IRCAM STMS LAB), Ken Déguernel (IRCAM STMS LAB / Inria Nancy - Grand Est), Axel Chemla--Romeu-Santos (IRCAM STMS LAB), Georges Bloch (UniStra), Diemo Schwarz (IRCAM STMS LAB); DYCI2 research project : Gérard Assayag (Ircam, PI), Emmanuel Vincent (Inria Nancy, WP leader), Jérôme Nika (Ircam, WP coordinator), Marc Chemillier (EHESS, associate researcher).

This folder contains a release version of DYCI2lib ready to be used as a Max library (the corresponding development repository and the Python code are available here: https://github.com/DYCI2/Dyci2Lib).

Check also om-dyci2, the "offline" compositional declination of this project, a framework for interactive generation of musical sequences combining generative agents and computer-assisted composition tools.

Release

NEW:

  • Application built from the Python code --> No need to use Python anymore (see below: one version for OS >= High Sierra and < Catalina, one version for OS >= Catalina)
  • New tutos
  • Control patch in tutorial 8
  • Fixes

This release contains:

  • Tutorials with complete standard DYCI2 functionalities. These self-contained Max applications and can be used as such by users who are not interested in building new patches.

  • The Max DYCI2 library of musical agents interfacing with the generation engine developped in Python and now built as an application

  • The Python DYCI2 library is also included for expert users, "hackers", or when getting troubles using the app version.

Getting started

See the 'quick start' pdf guide, follow the instructions below, then explore the tutorials in "Max_library/Tutorials/" !

Installation

  • Download the .dmg file corresponding to your OS (see below: one version for OS >= High Sierra and < Catalina, one version for OS >= Catalina).
  • Drag the DYCI2lib directory wherever you want (but not in Max packages / libraries !) and add its path into Max's search path (in Max: Options/File preferences... then add the path WITH THE SUBFOLDERS). /!\ The path of this folder must not contain any whitespace. /!\
  • Insert the media files downloaded at http://repmus.ircam.fr/nika/dyci2_library in "MaxLibrary/Tutorials/_ExamplesCorpus_". /!\ The sampling rate of Max MUST be the same as that of the audio file(s) used in the memory(/ies). /!\
  • On MacOS versions >= Catalina, the very first time you open the library, you will have to authorize the execution of the two DYCI2 externals (mubu, and shell) from the "Security & Privacy" menu in "System preference" of your computer. All this is explained in the pdf "DYCI2 start guide". Once this is done, you will never have to do it again.

(Open the "System preference / Security & Privacy" menu of your computer. Launch one of the Tutorial patchers. On the popup messages click on "Open" if possible, "Cancel" if not. In "System preference / Security & Privacy" click on "Open anyway" as soon as this option appears. When there are no more error messages quit Max. Launch one of the Tutorial patchers again, and repeat the operation until there are no more popup messages when opening a tutorial. You may have to quit and restart Max several times, but once this is done, you will never have to do it again.)

Requirements

It you encounter some troubles after these steps, try to run DYCI2 from the Python code as detailed below.

Bonus: running DYCI2lib from the Python code instead of the app

(For expert users, "hackers", or when getting troubles using the app version).

This release also contains the Python DYCI2 library, defining models and tools for creative generation of sequences (and in particular musical sequences) from models of sequences. It implements several models, generative heuristics, time management strategies, and architectures of interactive agents.

Advanced users and developpers can use the Python library autonomously. See the tutorials corresponding to the different modulesHtml doc: http://repmus.ircam.fr/downloads/docs/DYCI2_library/. PDF doc: in DYCI2lib/Python_library.
NB: When launching the DYCI2 core using the python library and not the compiled app, the default command is "python3". Expert users can modify this command in the script located here: Dyci2Lib/Max_library/app/launch_dyci2_agents.sh

Configuration

  • Download and install the last version of Python 3 (https://www.python.org/downloads).
  • Open Terminal to install the dependencies: cd [DRAG_AND_DROP_THE_DIRECTORY_Dyci2lib], enter, pip3 install -r requirements.txt --user, enter.

See the example of Female-Voice-singing.csv --> Female-Voice-singing.json (annotation for Female-Voice-singing.aiff)

  1. Use the script FromTextToDYCI2json_script (/!\ No "." or " "in the whole path of the file (except extension) /!), for example :

    $ python FromTextToDYCI2json_script.py [absolute path to the .csv/.txt file]

  2. Move the .json file and your .aif sound file in /MaxPatches/Tutorials/ExamplesCorpus

N.B. Some playing modes (scenarios of descriptors and reactive listening) do not require annotated files since they perform analysis and clustering automatically (see Max tutorials "B").
