I made HTFE generate music with MIDI, I encoded the notes by making the input the size of the number of notes and making an input "1" if the corresponding note was audible in that time frame. This should work with NuPIC as well, since the inputs are binary. I used this Python library to generate the MIDIs: https://code.google.com/p/midiutil/
I attached some music it generated :) On Fri, Mar 20, 2015 at 9:52 AM, Matthew Taylor <[email protected]> wrote: > Well, the idea is to transform MIDI into NuPIC input.
