if we had this built in to the mpc that is a proper game changer

I seen those videos and researched that AI Technology. One Day I searched Google Play Store and downloaded a Free App call Moises. The Whole Stemming Process is a lil time consuming but its works Kinda ok. I just have to load the MP3 on my phone, Let the App do its thing, and BOOM!!! I have 4 Separated Tracks to sample from. (Vocals, Drums, Bass, Melody).
Its good for pullin Vocals or Drums right from a sample. You just have to Sample it back into the MPC. Can't beat it for a Free App

I would not be surprised if AKAI pulled something very similar with the new MPC models. It's pretty much a no brainer move. Even Koala has something like that and it's a phone app. Serato started the race. I doubt that other brands aren't looking for something similar for their hardware/daws.

I noticed that Marlow doesn't use his X anymore. Maybe he replaced it with something Andy may have dropped off on his recent influencer world tour. Who knows if in the future we see a comparison.

No appses required. If you can use Python, Demucs does this for you https://github.com/facebookresearch/demucs

On a decent GPU it runs way faster than realtime. For example on this one example setup with RTX 2070 Super it runs at 25-30x speed. Splitting a three-minute song takes about 7 seconds.

Could it be theoretically doable on the GPU that's on the MPCs and Force? I don't know. The RK3288 is said to support OpenGL ES 3.1 and OpenCL 1.1, if that helps. Nvidia's resource monitor shows that python3 eats about 2 gigabytes of GPU memory while running Demucs, and the readme says "If you want to use GPU acceleration, you will need at least 3GB of RAM on your GPU for demucs". Maybe, maybe not. It can be run on the CPU as well, but it's much slower, like 1-2x speed. That's still usable of course, just slower.

WOW! I installed demucs and was like 2 seconds on my 4090!!! And a very high quality!! Higher than RipX which I dont like.
Thank you!! :worthy:
