at Simon Fraser University (SFU), is conducting a research study in partnership with Steinberg Media Technologies GmbH. We are testing and evaluating MMM-Cubase v2, a creative AI system for assisting composing music. The system is based on our best music transformer,
the multitrack music machine (MMM), which can generate, re-generate or complete new musical content based on existing content.</p>
<p class="paragraph-spacing-none"><br>
</p>
<p class="paragraph-spacing-none">There is no prerequisite for this study beyond a basic knowledge of DAW and MIDI. So everyone is welcome even if you do not consider yourself a composer, but are interested in trying the system. The entire study should take
you around 3h, and you must be 19+ years. Basic interest and familiarity with digital music composition will help, but no experience with making music is required. </p>
<p class="paragraph-spacing-none"><br>
</p>
<p class="paragraph-spacing-none">We seek to better evaluate the potential for adoption of such systems for novice/beginner as well as for seasoned composers. More specifically, you will be ask to install and use the system to compose a short 4-track musical
composition and to fill out a survey questionnaire at the end.</p>
<p class="paragraph-spacing-none"><br>
</p>
<p class="paragraph-spacing-none">Participation in this study is rewarded with one free Steinberg software license of your choice among Cubase Element, Dorico Element or Wavelab Element. </p>
