Newsletter Q1-2026
Wednesday, 14th January 2026
As we welcome 2026 and prepare for the year ahead, we would like to take this opportunity to update you on a number of recent, forthcoming and future product updates. Please read on to learn more about key developments to our growing catalogue of advanced audio algorithms and SDKs.
Additionally, we’re extremely excited to return to NAMM later this month, and have some availability for scheduled appointments. Alternatively, we are available to arrange calls in early February after we return from NAMM. We welcome the opportunity to hear more about your project and requirements.
Imminent Updates
We’re pleased to share the following information on upcoming updates to zplane algorithms.
STEMS PRO V1.2 - Faster processing and smaller model size
Our proprietary stem separation algorithm has undergone new training with an all-new dataset. The result is improved metrics, a 66% reduction in model size, and 20% faster processing.
INTONE V1.3 - Improved tracking and performance
Version 1.3 of our pitch-correction algorithm boasts a complete engine overhaul, resulting in improved tracking, synthesis, and overall performance.
Coming Soon
We continue to work on the development of the following products, and look forward to sharing further news in the near future
STEMS PRO V2 - Major Update Coming This Year
While the recent V1.2 update to our STEMS PRO algorithm represents a major performance improvement, we’re always looking ahead to further advancements. With that in mind, STEMS PRO V2 will offer greater quality and a reduced memory footprint.
DRUMS V1.1
In the forthcoming version of our drum-to-MIDI transcription SDK, synthetic drum sounds from drum machines and synthesizers are now analyzed more accurately.
PITCHES V1.1
Version 1.1 of our audio-to-MIDI transcription SDK analyzes lower-register information, such as bass, much more accurately than previous versions.
DE-AMP V1
We are in the final testing stages of our DE-AMP algorithm, which will soon allow users to extract a clean DI guitar signal from a processed one with ease.
KORT RT V1
A real-time version of KORT, our chord-recognition algorithm, will open up further applications for a range of use cases. Music producers, instrumentalists, and educational platforms will find benefits in this real-time chord-recognition workflow.
