Sony Computer Science Laboratories, Inc. (hereinafter Sony CSL ) has developed DrumGAN, a technology that uses AI to generate drum sounds.
Sony CSL will continue accelerating its research and practical application of AI technology empowering music creators to enhance their creativity.
About DrumGAN
Drum design plays a prominent role in arranging and producing a song. While professionally-recorded sound libraries are available for editing, browsing sample packs or fiddling with expert controls in a sampler can be a barrier to creativity for some people.
DrumGAN is a technology researched and developed by the members of the music team in Sony CSL Paris to generate unique drum sounds using AI. Instead of relying on existing audio samples, DrumGAN allows creators to effortlessly synthesize original drum sounds from scratch by adjusting smart parameters, such as kick-ness , snare-ness , and cymbal-ness .
DrumGAN's core technology is Neural Audio Synthesis, a new audio generation technology based on neural networks. Neural networks are widely used in the field of imagery, such as in generating realistic-looking pictures of human faces but they can also be applied to audio. With its incorporation in Backbone, DrumGAN will be the world's first commercially available technology to employ Neural Audio Synthesis.
In 2020, Sony Music Publishing-affiliated music producer Twenty9 released the world's first AI-powered drum kit using DrumGAN. Today, thanks to the Sony CSL-Steinberg partnership, DrumGAN is more user-friendly as a tool and is available to creators around the world.

DrumGAN to be part of Steinberg's Backbone software
DrumGAN will be a key feature of Steinberg's drum design software Backbone in its latest version 1.5, set for release on June 22.
With the addition of Sony CSL's DrumGAN, creators can now easily generate new drum sounds from scratch and break away from overused imported audio samples. Users can then further work with DrumGAN-generated sounds in Backbone to create an infinity of drum sounds original to them.
