The Google Magenta artificial intelligent research
project has helped create a new open source synthesiser in the form of the
Google NSynth Super synthesiser. Which uses machine learning to create new
sounds using the integrated NSynth neutral synthesiser technology.
Using the new machine learning NSynth Super
synthesiser musicians have the ability to explore sounds generated with the
NSynth algorithm. To test the prototype 16 original source sounds across a
range of 15 different pitches recorded in a studio, were uploaded to the NSynth
algorithm allowing it to pre-compute new sounds. After which the AI synthesiser
outputted over 100,000 new sounds.
Four source sounds can be selected by musicians to
create new sounds by interacting with the touchscreen display, combining the
acoustic qualities of all four of the original source sounds to create new
unique sounds.
NSynth Super can be played via any MIDI source, like a DAW,
sequencer or keyboard And is completely open source. For more information jump
over to the official NSynth Super website for more
details and how you can get your very own NSynth Super from GitHub.
