The future of DTM from the news of Roland Cloud
This is yosi from Chillout with Beats.
2019-04-02 Added content about 5G
I tried to think seriously about the future of DTM without permission.
The trigger is the following article
In shortRoland CloudIt means that patches and patterns suitable for techno were provided.
NazuhaRoland CloudI will briefly touch on.
About Roland Cloud
Roland CloudIs a service that allows you to use all of Roland's past products that have been made into software for just under 2300 yen a month (the rate at the time of writing the article). ($ 20 / month)
The synths that can be used are arranged a little easier, but TB-303, JUNO-106, JUPITER-8, SH-101, TR-808, TR-909, Sound Canvas, etc.There are still more.
It is attractive to be able to use software with a total of $ 4000 or more for just under 2300 yen a month.
There is also a 30-day trial.
About this news
The Techno Suite provided this time provides tone patches and patterns that match acid techno.
The TB-303, TR-808, and TR909 patterns are prepared for intros, grooves, breakdowns, and drops, and if you connect them, you can make a song.
About the construction kit
Until now, there have been many construction kits, but I don't think there are many genre-specific synths and their patches and patterns provided together.
The construction kit is a pattern in which a short song has already been made, and the patches and samples used in that song are recorded separately.
Also, it is unlikely that you can complete it with just the construction kit, and you often need other things such as samplers and drum machines.
After that, in the case of WAV data, it is difficult to change the key and scale.
(Even if it can be done, excessive changes will be unnatural)
Difference between Techno Suite and construction kit
Since this Techno Suite is a pattern, it is easy to change the key and scale.
The same applies to the drums, which can be easily changed.
Since this pattern is the same as MIDI data, the capacity can be reduced.
The future of DTM
From here, I will try to predict the future of DTM without permission based on the flow so far.
This is a story focused on the upper hierarchy.
(In the professional world, the fusion of analog and digital will progress further, and the value of analog will increase more and more.)
First stage (now)
Each company provides genre-specific construction kits, synths, bass, drum patches, and more.
Some effect processing is also done, so you can make something as it is just by combining and sounding.
However, in the case of WAV etc., I think that the situation related to key and scale changes, final mastering and distribution is gradually appearing.
Second stage
I presume that a DAW equipped with AI functions will come out. (It seems that there are DAWs that already claim AI ...)
Along with that, various data may be updated in the cloud from time to time.
The rest is the recommendation function.
For example, it recommends chord progressions that match the genre, or selects synth sounds, drums, and bass that match the genre.
Bass and drums are automatically created according to the chord if you select a pattern.
There will be self-action lyrics and lyric writing assistance by AI function.
There are already AI Rinna etc., but I feel that the service of singing with AI needs a little more time.
Third stage
I think most of the work will be done in the cloud.
We anticipate that the improved communication speed will improve real-time performance and eliminate the need for local work.
As for songs, we are entering an era in which AI will create songs that we like to sing.
However, humans want to do it themselves.For such people, there will be a service that allows you to create songs of your favorite genre just by choosing the atmosphere.
Mastering is also optimized on the cloud, and the time will come when delivery can be done with just a few clicks. (The concept of click may have changed)
2019-04-02 Addendum
2020G will begin to set up infrastructure for the XNUMX Olympics.
With that in mind, I think it will be a world that will be used normally in five years from 2020.
Source Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications forecasts the number of 5G lines
And it has already announced the concept of Google's Stadia, and it is scheduled to launch in 2019.
ソ ー ス
This technology is currently focused on Games,
I think it can be technically applied to Audio and Graphic.
Considering that, it can be expected that in 2025 there will be a platform for making music that is different from the current style of DTM.
2019-08-17 Addendum
From the recent trend, it is expected that the number of services that operate analog devices via the cloud will increase in the future.
For example, if you operate the GUI via the WEB for virtual modular, the actual modular will patch and the knobs will move so that you can listen to the sound of the actual machine through the web (recording).
I think it is possible to control the voltage with a digital patch bay or digital control.
Summary
How is it?
I tried to delusion without permission, but I don't think that everything will come off.
Well, anywayRoland CloudIt's fascinating.
