On a small neural-network-like basis, it is possible to write a very precise kind of figured bass. The computer itself can improvise upon it, using a very limited number of input parameters (5 parameters which can be further compressed as a 16-bit byte for transmission). Usefully, in this scheme, each note is not a point […]
