lstm_real_book

A Keras-based source code that uses LSTM to generate jazz chords progression.

Usage

1. Clone the repo
2. Set character-mode in main_lstm_realbook.py as True or False to choose between char-rnn and word-rnn.
3. Run by $ python main_lstm_realbook.py
4. Use chord_sentences.txt to whatever you want
5. Use 2486 .lab files to do even more interesting!
