Neutone
Real-time neural audio plugins that morph any sound into new timbres.
About
Neutone is a platform for neural audio models that run as real-time plugins inside a DAW. Its flagship, Neutone Morpho, resynthesizes incoming audio entirely, so a guitar riff can emerge as a violin, a djembe or abstract radio texture while keeping the original performance's groove. A cloud dashboard lets users train custom models with no code or GPU.
Underneath sits the open-source Neutone SDK, which lets researchers wrap their own PyTorch audio models and run them in the free Neutone FX and Neutone Gen host plugins, handling buffer sizes, sample-rate conversion and delay compensation. The plugins ship as VST3 and AU for Ableton Live, Logic Pro, Bitwig and others. The full model bundle is a one-time purchase; custom training uses paid tokens.
