Good question. First and foremost, Magenta is autoregressive, and this is not. Practical differences:
THIS:
- has more controls; output can be highly custom
- has very fast response time for updating controls; this approaches real time
- runs on consumer cards
- is optimized for loops, and full songs, not continuous infinite music
MAGENTA:
- can generate music forever, it plainly wins here
- has fewer controls
- has high parameter update latency (chunks of 2 seconds)
- I did get magenta to fit on a 5090, but just barely
