WaveMachine Labs has introduced ReBeat, a new AI-powered stem separator plugin designed specifically for drums.
Unlike general-purpose stem separation tools, ReBeat focuses solely on your drum mix. Whether you’re working with live recordings, electronic beats, or full mixes, ReBeat is designed to automatically separate drum tracks into six distinct stems: kick, snare, hi-hat, toms, ride, and crash.
ReBeat Video Demo:
The developers say that ReBeat is designed as a non-realtime stem separator, prioritizing quality over speed, to deliver the highest level of accuracy possible.
ReBeat is available now, as a standalone app and an audio plugin (VST, AU and AAX), for $199.
MIDI Kinetics has announced that Lemur – the pioneering touchscreen control application – is now available again.
Originally introduced as a hardware touchscreen controller by JazzMutant, Lemur was reborn as an iPad app in 2011. After a few years of being unavailable, MIDI Kinetics has brought Lemur back.
Lemur lets you build custom touchscreen MIDI controllers, using a deep collection of pre-built ‘widgets’, custom-designed widgets and imported images. Lemur can control up to 8 MIDI ports, for up to 128 channels of high speed MIDI control.
Lemur is available again as a subscription-based app. MIDI Kinetics says that the new model is needed for continued development of Lemur to be sustainable.
“We want Lemur to remain a professional-grade tool, not relegated to the status of a hobby project eventually to be abandoned, and this change will help us achieve that goal,” they note.
The official video intro:
Lemur is available now as a free download, with subscription pricing of $12.99/month or $99/year. Visit the MK site for details and info for existing owners.
