Usage

Beat Blender requires the GCloud SDK for running the server and node + npm for javascript development.

1. Run npm install to install all of the dependencies of this project.
2. Run npm start to begin all file-watchers and to initialize the server on port 8080
3. Open http://localhost:8080

Easter eggs

You have added a few query-strings that you can play with, you can load a different model for MusicVAE using checkpoint=url or a custom model for generating new beats with samplerCheckpoint=url
