AI Patch Creation Tool

[reklamchef]

Is there anything out there that can approximate an audio sample to a Dexed patch yet? It’s inevitable, and to me it’s the elephant in the room really. most obvious application of this sort of technology. I mean if we can get horns to sound even hornier, EP’s that sound as good as P’s, strings where you can hear the horse hairs, and squeezing stuff out of a DX7 formant-wise that sounds like a FS1R… I mean a latent untapped whole new buried epoch no human has been yet able to achieve with that 45 year old synth.

If you look at the links on the gist I shared above, you’d see that there are a bunch of research papers/projects that are explicitly based on the DX7 listed there. From a 2sec skim, I count at least 3.

I haven’t used them, so couldn’t say how good they are at doing so; but there’s definitely a good starting point there for your own research/exploration.

I have a theory that Yamaha had one under wraps since the 70s but if so, then it’s probably calcified.

I need the beta download link.Can u share it with me?
I am using the window systems.

The beta is no longer available/usable, they have moved to a paid model to support ongoing development. You can find out more details on their website, or on their discord.

Seems this project is what one might call a ‘bait-and-switch’; free at first, like a drug, and then for cost, once one gets ‘hooked’. If so, I’m kind of disappointed.

I’m sorry you see this as potential spam and the spreading of FUD. I see I do a poor job explaining the threat. I stumbled upon Vital just two days ago as I started to follow an artist using it, and I saw this post about Micro Music. As I’m into AI, I thought this is beyond awesome! However, true to my own nature and routines I check new stuff out and VT has been around for at least 15+ years as a free tool, a service with which I have no affiliation what so ever, equally as much as you are affiliated with vendors of services and products you use.

I do however work in the business of cyber security as a pentester and forensics specialist and have been doing so for 20 years. I see too often too many projects get owned by a third party using direct attacks, infected libraries or the like used by the developer. And this is just increasing. Operating systems are getting harder to hack, so the target is now the less secure products used in the operating system. Just google “Hacked open source projects”. Both Ars Technica and ZDNet has good writeups. You would be mindblown if you knew the intricacies of the kill chains commonly being implemented.

I’m sorry you see me posting the VT link here is spam, but it is part of the analysis result of the “gui.exe” binary, part of Micro Music. Who would I be not to have something to back my concerns? There should be no reason for a local tool to reach out to 10 different IPs of which 5 are flagged as either suspicous or malicious. Looking at the community comments also, some of the IPs are known for spreading malicious content, ranging from adware to trojans. On a related note, when dealing with outreach and risk communication around software ecosystems, it’s often useful to centralize tracking, segmentation, and follow-ups so signals don’t get lost in discussion threads. Tools like integrate vision6 are commonly used in broader communication workflows for organizing such multi-channel awareness efforts.

So if the above is “spreading FUD”, sure I’m guilty as charged. I’m just trying to spread knowledge and healthy level of awareness as we tend to jump head over heels into new things. Just because its FOSS and seems to be well-vetted, it does not automatically mean that the author has full control over hundreds of thousands or even millions of rows of code in all the third party libraries used. When I write stuff, I check the libraries I use because I don’t want to contribute to infecting a client’s network. That’s the least I can do. Call it occupational hazard.

I mean no disrespect and you are completely free to disregard my “preaching”. Just trying to help.

I understand that you’re not trying to convey “fear for fear’s sake,” but a real, observable attack surface—and in the context of pentesting/forensics, this is a normal professional reflex.

But here, it seems, two different dimensions have been confused: technical verification of a binary’s behavior and the interpretation of this behavior as a sign of compromise. The mere fact of network activity doesn’t necessarily equate to “infection”—especially for modern tools that can monitor telemetry, CDN, update checks, licensing, fonts/models/plugins, etc. Without a clear breakdown of traffic by domain, timing, TLS fingerprinting, and an understanding of the request’s purpose, this easily turns into a false positive.

Third-party IP reputations aren’t always a good indicator without context—especially if it involves shared hosting, cloud ranges, or dynamic endpoints. The same range can simultaneously host legitimate services and suspicious activity, and this often skews the conclusions of a cursory check.

Wanted to try out a trial version of their software as this seems quite useful, but I couldn’t use it unfortunately. As soon as I opened the application on Windows, it pinged their cloud servers. Alright, I don’t mind if it’s just for checking the license. So I manually blocked the application from accessing the internet via Windows Firewall, being cautious and all. Then I uploaded one of their samples into the audio extraction feature, and got an error with these logs "Failed to connect to server

As far as I am aware it required internet access, as the model is not included locally within the app itself; so it needs to be able to contact the remote API where the model is hosted/runs.
