They've just posted this on X a couple of hours ago.

It's either a new product (hopefully), or god forbid another all in one subscription!

 

sounds like they're integrating their sample tools with some boring cloud shit

 

Ah, those crazy swedes.

 

So this is what they were up to...

 

Ohhh that is very cool. I could see myself using that.

I wonder if the phone app is a prerequisite, or if you can load the WAVs straight into the plugin instead of being connected to the app

 

hey i found this enjoyable!

Reminded me of this thing which is more creative

 

just tried... nah nothing close to this life

 

very cool. looking forward to picking it up

 

And now I have an idea for a whole album ... On the downside: another plugin. Sigh.

 

xln is harvesting the samples for their other purposes? what we upload into this user cloud? no info on webite. what does EULA state? anyone with demo please read it and let us know thanks

 

i didnt see anything regarding harvesting the sample /other uses. Even if they are, i dont really care. They can use sounds of me farting, cooking dinner and walking in the forest as much as they would like.

The plugin is very cool. Highly recommend! Works very fast and flawlessly with the app. Unlimited interesting top loops. I made a classic neptunes type beat in minutes.

 

Well if you want an easy life and leave creative part to A.I. just ask ChatGPT to make you not only a beat but the whole song right off.

Says the member of a cracker-friendly forum...

Where's your open-source spirit ;)

 

how were people making music before this dropped? crazy stuff

 

this looks better than I thought, but please god do not let this lead to a tech house revival
