Yeah, my first thought was they have a new ML-based product from seeing that name.
Abletone is kind of cool though
I agree. Sounds like a 1960s surf rock band to me, who would have had one hit that everyone knew, but no one knew who the band were.
Seeing it I was like “wait is it actually called that”? And couldn’t tell on mobile but if they’re not using that branding they absolutely should look into it.
If they end up doing a drum machine, they can just call it "AbleTakt".
And then have Elektron knocking on their door.
KickAble
Somehow I interpreted the combination of a new name ("Abletone") along with the phrase "Learning Synth" to mean they'd developed an AI-driven synth engine that used neural nets and genetic algorithms to explore new timbres. Ah well. Still a cool project, I think learning and experimenting with synthesis is a lot of fun.
