"After careful consideration, we have made the decision to end support for AWS DeepComposer," Kanchan Jagannathan, AWS AI devices program manager, wrote. "If you have data stored on the AWS DeepComposer console, you will be able to use AWS DeepComposer as normal until September 17, 2025, when support for the service will end."
DeepComposer was initially a dev-only product, but launched to all AWS customers in 2020, with the MIDI keyboard priced at $99. Opinions were mixed on DeepComposer's ease of use - and musicality. Many reviewers of the MIDI keyboard complained that they couldn't get the keys working properly, and that the AI instrumentation left much to be desired.
The finished track could be played in the AWS console or exported and shared to SoundCloud. My colleague Frederic Lardinois was similarly underwhelmed when he took DeepComposer for a spin in 2019. But, as he noted in his piece, DeepComposer was always meant to be more of a learning tool than a tool for writing the next Top 40 song.
