gary does musicgen continuations using input audio you record from inside ableton. Now, we have terry thanks to this repo from meta:
https://huggingface.co/spaces/facebook/melodyflow
terry will transform your input audio and give you back audio the same length. we have a bunch of 'presets' we made for terry. you can have terry transform the outputs gary produced, too. up to 40 seconds.
in this version, gary expects to be placed in /Applications/g4l/GARY_mac.amxd
the .app file expects to be in /Applications/g4l/g4l-ui/release/build/mac/gary4live.app
IF YOU CHOOSE TO CHANGE FILEPATHS:
commentedout.js, electron_communication.js, and launch_electron.js will need to be changed.
if you want to run gary's electron ui in dev mode:
- clone this repo:
git clone https://github.com/betweentwomidnights/gary-mac.git
- install nvm:
curl -o- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.0/install.sh | bash
- re-open terminal and run:
export NVM_DIR="$HOME/.nvm"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/nvm.sh"
[ -s "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion" ] && \. "$NVM_DIR/bash_completion"
- install and use Node 18:
nvm install 18
nvm use 18
- navigate to project and start:
cd gary-mac/g4l-ui
npm install
npm run start
to build the app:
npm run package
the app will be built to g4l/g4l-ui/release/build/mac/gary4live.app. you'll find that manually starting electron has no problem communicating with the max for live device from anywhere on the machine.
the max4live UI does almost everything that the electron UI does. It doesn't have a crop function, and you can't drag/drop your waveform in, but it will work. i tried to make electron as optional as i could.
you can talk to our backend using the url https://g4l.thecollabagepatch.com in commentedout.js
for now... if our backend goes down, though, it can be built yourself using this repo and 'Rosetta 2' I'm told: https://github.com/betweentwomidnights/gary-backend-combined
as of jan 2025 I am actively working on making the docker-compose agnostic to devices so that Apple Silicon can run it with gpu acceleration
there are several backend types in that repo. g4lwebsockets is the one you'll be spinning up using docker-compose.

there are many demos of this plugin being used on youtube:
a special thanks to lyra for the fine-tuning help that made this plugin interesting.
