There’s plenty of GenAI-powered music editing and creation tools out there, but Adobe wants to put its own spin on the concept.

Today at the Hot Pod Summit in Brooklyn, Adobe unveiled Project Music GenAI Control, a platform that can generate audio from text descriptions (e.g. “happy dance,” “sad jazz”) or a reference melody and let users customize the results within the same workflow.

Using Project Music GenAI Control, users can adjust things like tempo, intensity, repeating patterns and structure. Or they can take a track and extend it to an arbitrary length, remixing music or creating an endless loop.

Developed in collaboration with researchers at the University of California and Carnegie Mellon, Project Music GenAI Control will be made publicly available at some future date. But for now, it’s firmly in the research stage, said Adobe’s head of audio and video AI research Gautham Mysore during a panel at Hot Pod — the platform doesn’t even have a UI yet.

“So this really gets the idea of, AI is generating music with you in the director’s seat and there’s a bunch of things you can do with it,” Mysore added. “[The tool is] generating music, but it’s [also] giving you these various forms of control so you can try things out. You don’t have to be a composer, but you can get your musical ideas out there.”
