Open-weight music model YuE2 turns rough old MIDI sketches into full arrangements
wunderbaba · reddit · 2026-09-17
Reddit user wunderbaba shares how they've been using the open-weight audio model YuE2 as a "Band-in-a-Box on steroids": feed it a few seconds of an original MIDI melody, then let YuE2 take over and generate the full arrangement. They built a simple lyric generator that fits Latin phrase syllables to the melodic line. The author compares it to the magic of first playing a Yamaha arranger keyboard. Project: multimodal-art-projection/YuE on GitHub.
