NSynth Super Review
Open-source experimental instrument using Google's NSynth ML algorithm to blend sounds from two instruments into entirely new timbres.
Verdict
NSynth Super is a Google Creative Lab project that physically embodies the NSynth neural audio synthesis algorithm, letting musicians explore interpolated sounds between any two instruments. It's a research artifact and open-source hardware/software kit rather than a commercial product, making it most relevant to artists, researchers, and makers. The project is archived and no longer actively developed, but remains a landmark demonstration of ML applied to musical timbre.
What it does
An experimental physical interface for the NSynth machine learning algorithm.
Best for
Researchers and developers interested in machine learning and physical interfaces.
