| Sumario: | This dissertation examines the generation of real-time symbolic drum accompaniments, with a particular focus on live improvisation contexts. While the research does occasionally focus on the audio domain, the majority of the research is centered on symbolic-to-symbolic systems. This dissertation addresses real-time drum accompaniment from multiple perspectives: (1) conceptual, where a target application is designed based on a set of specified requirements, (2) architectural, where specific generative models are designed and developed for the selected conceptual design, and (3) from a deployment aspect, where the conceptual design is realized and evaluated. Throughout this work, three accompaniment systems were developed and refined. As a secondary outcome, this research also produced NeuralMidiFx, a toolkit designed to streamline the integration of generative neural networks into \acrshort{vst} plugins. Furthermore, two novel datasets, TapTamDrum and El Bongosero, were collected to support future research in areas ranging from rhythm perception to music generation. |
