Accusonus Rythmiq – Turn Your Tracks Into a Performance
Accusonus Rythmiq – Turn Your Tracks Into a Performance Accusonus surprised us with a plugin release recently that has turned our world upsidedown. The plugin is called Rythmiq, and it is a groovebox, sampler, remixer, and AI powerhouse all in one. We just didn’t know what to expect when Accusonus reached out, but they blew us away. By combining their experience with live resampling (Regroover) and beat making tools they have produced an incredible addition to their lineup. Your new “virtual electronic drummer” analyzes your beats and introduces nuanced micro-variations or musical, evolving changes. This will allow you to focus on other parts of your music while your beat is organically evolving. Rhythmiq is an A.I. driven sampler, and it can be used as an intelligent jam partner that you control. Think of it as a complex drum machine with a beat-repeat included. Not only can you loop samples but …

World Cup Horn Suppressor – Zynaptiq’s A.I. Solution to Futbol Noise
World Cup Horn Suppressor – Zynaptiq’s A.I. Solution to Futbol Noise The World Cup may have just ended but the excitement is only just beginning for the NEXT World Cup in 2022. Fortunately for us, this time around fans may have noticed various broadcasts’ signals sounding relatively clean and free of those blaring horns (commonly referred to as Vuvuzelas or compressor horns) that were so prominent in 2010 and 2014. This is all thanks to an impressive plugin developed by Zynaptiq called simply, “World Cup Horn Suppressor”. The technology built within the plugin is capable of suppressing the honking sound of compressor horns in REAL TIME while leaving stadium ambiance and commentary largely unaffected. Zynaptiq utilized a technique called source signal separation (otherwise known as de-mixing) to accomplish this balance in the broadcast audio signal. The coolest part of this process is that artificial intelligence is behind the powerful effect of demixing the audio signals, …
