"Ableton Live" it was supposed to be in the caption 😅 don't seem to be able to edit it

Search from your own sounds — right-click an audio clip in the Arrangement and choose "search from this sound…" to find evolved sounds that resemble it. Search from a selection — drag out a time range on an Arrangement track and search from exactly what you hear there.

Built on Ableton's new Extensions SDK — a genuinely nice bit of kit to build on. We reused our whole web pipeline inside it. Early access now (Live 12.4 beta). Full story + how we built it: blog.synth.is/blog/ableton...

Bringing evolved sounds into Ableton Live
We built a Synth.is extension for Ableton Live. Browse and audition evolved sounds, shape them with a performance pad, and drop them straight onto a track — without leaving the DAW.

Why it sounds unlike anything else: Synth.is sounds are evolved from scratch by quality-diversity search — not sampled, not trained on anyone's recordings. Genuinely new raw material, grown rather than recombined.

You can shape a sound before importing — pitch, duration, velocity, and even perturbations of the underlying networks to spin off variations of the same find. And you can breed new sounds from the community genome pool, then import the offspring.

The flow: right-click a clip slot, scene, track or arrangement selection → a discovery picker opens in Live. Browse, search, audition, like, and send your picks straight in as audio clips. Several at once, in one undo step.

We've been quiet for a while — not for lack of work. 🧬🎛️ Synth.is is now inside Ableton Live. Right-click in your set → discover sounds that never existed before → drop them onto a track. No detour out of the DAW. #AbletonLive #musicproduction #sounddesign #musictech #synthesis

synth.is: evolving sounds that don't exist yet
We've been working on something that might change how we think about sound discovery. For the past while, we've been exploring how we can use evolutionary algorithms - the same principles that created...

And perhaps most importantly, what is a good way for us humans to interact with and guide the evolutionary process?

So far there is a prototype for running #sound discovery simulations with #evolutionary #algorithms, and a #web interface for exploring the results. The next step is to figure out how this could fit into #music production workflows.

kromosynth - evolving instruments
We're creating the world's first collaborative sound discovery platform. Unlike AI trained on existing music, we evolve entirely new sounds from scratch, guided by human creativity.

It was a pleasure to present the synth.is project and demo the phylogeny.synth.is tool at the Communication Acoustics Lab in @c4dm.bsky.social during this summer’s Creative Audio Synthesis and Interfaces Workshop: www.c4dm.eecs.qmul.ac.uk/news/2025-09... Photo courtesy of Vincenzo Madaghiele.
