Hey guys, bit of feedback on ARIA.
To be honest, its ability to produce small variations has been really great for getting creatively “unstuck” or opening up ideas for where to take a piece next, but since the generations per day was reduced to ten, it has been hard to ignore ARIA’s behaviour where sometimes, duplicates of existing melody/chords are suggested - repeatedly - verbatim.
This is the limit to what I can show on my 10" screen in the side panel, but this will indeed happen until I reach my daily ARIA query limit.
Before we were limited to ten per day, I’d just skip these and try re-generating. Now, it’s much more noticeable, because I can’t.
I’m unsure of how this looks on the backend, but perhaps it would be helpful to be able to specifically ask ARIA to generate variations on an existing melody or set of chords, or to generate something distinct and unlike what is currently there, depending on what is desired at the time. This might reduce the number of queries we as users need to discard.
Additionally, I’d suggest that ARIA should be disallowed from suggesting something that exists, verbatim, elsewhere in the project, since a user can easily operate copy and paste 
I know it’s been stated how resource intensive ARIA queries can be, and this seems like a waste of resources any way you look at it.
Edit: I should note this particular project also has at least 26 bars of unique melody and chords, that are repeated elsewhere to a degree. I have to wonder if this might help narrowing down the issue! Hope so. Seems to happen more with “less blank” projects. (Which honestly is where ARIA is most helpful - I don’t really use it on blank projects, I have too many ideas)
Thanks as always.
