this is the official vst/au for gary.

version: 1.0

gary used to be a max4live device with 3 open source music models inside of it. it was kinda a PITA to use...

now, it's a vst so that fl studio, reaper, bitwig, and even garageband users can play.

how it works

1. put it on your master track.

2. press play in your daw (with layers solo'd if you want. i do this alot with percussion)

3. save your recorded buffer.

gary tab: use the first x seconds of the buffer you recorded and 'send to gary' to have it iterate on the input audio. once it's in the output waveform, you can crop it/continue it using the last x seconds of audio as input.

gary uses musicgen finetunes: audiocraft repo

jerry tab: generate bpm aware loops of either drums/instruments or 'auto' that you can drag into your daw, or have the other two models iterate on it. (this model generates in under a second!)

jerry is stable-audio-open-small: SAOS on huggingface

terry tab: transform either your recorded audio or the output waveform according to presets or a custom prompt you type (up to around 40 seconds)

terry is meta's melodyflow model: melodyflow on huggingface

i'll add more music models as i see fit. this plugin is a playground for them with a focus on input audio/collaboration.

if you have a suggestion for a model you'd like to see inside the vst, give me a holler at kev@thecollabagepatch.com

i run a backend free of charge so that everyone can use it, but inside you'll also find an installer so that you can run the backend yourself locally if you have ~10+ gb of gpu vram.

there's also some stuff about finetuning models inside here. if you throw a finetune up on huggingface (musicgen or stable-audio-open-small), it will run inside here.
