Jaunty, for piano -- composed using Giant Music Transformer
A happy, fun piece with a dramatic ending section. The ending of this gave me goosebumps when I first placed part of a sequence there. I like the low D octave near the end.
When I first heard the sequence I used in the ending, before I modified it considerably, I thought it was too over-the-top for a happy little piece like this, but it gives it a kind of Broadway grandeur ending and is probably the best ending I've ever fashioned out of a sequence, in the 200+ pieces I've composed and posted.
This piece took 15 hours to compose. I worked on it over a period of days, and used 50 long (3000 tokens) continuations, choosing some from which I chose measures.
A lot of notes were changed, phrases cut out, beats removed etc. , phrases repeated and modulated and finally, I probably listened to this 40 times, making several passes to adjust dynamics, bass, middle voices, and melody.
Alex has introduced a new sequencer, similar to Giant, called Quad Music Transformer, found on GItHub. I think it generates better original seeds. I have a few that I will do continuations on and see how they go. Quad is very fast, and good for people who want output in multi-instrumental MIDI.
Giant Music Transformer works in a similar manner to Allegro Music Transformer, for which I've made a tutorial:

Giant is faster than Allegro, and the bulk generator version of Giant allows a user to generate multiple continuations without overloading RAM, and it is less work since it can zip the files and download in one step. The zip feature is not in the directory to the left, but works like a regular cell. I do long continuations in sets of 20 though. In the regular version of Giant Music Transformer, only 16 can be done at a time, and then you have to click on them individually in the directory to download them. But if continuations are long, my 16GB of RAM isn't enough, so that's why I've been using the bulk generation to generate 10 cycles of 2 continuations, so 10 x 2 = 20.
