Rather, it’s synthesizing an entirely new sound based upon the acoustic qualities of the individual instruments. What’s particularly unique is that NSynth Super isn’t just layering sounds on top of each other. These instruments can be mixed by gliding your finger across the pad. The hardware Google has devised to play with the NSynth algorithm features a central X / Y pad where each quadrant can be assigned an instrument (sort of like using effects on a Kaoss Pad). The NSynth algorithm learns the core qualities of what makes up an individual sound and then is able to combine sounds to create something completely new. As Douglas Eck, research scientist on the Google Brain team, says in the video above, NSynth doesn’t generate notes, but rather, the actual sound of an instrument. The NSynth Super is a piece of hardware that brings the NSynth technology to life. NSynth Super utilizes Magenta’s NSynth, Google’s neural network that generates sounds, and directions for building your own NSynth Super are available on Github. Magenta, Google’s research project that looks at how AI can help people be more creative, just released an open source experimental instrument called NSynth Super.
