Apple 收购 AI 音频编辑应用 Samplab

Apple acquired AI audio editing app Samplab in June, according to a notice shared today by the European Commission.

Samplab offered a desktop app and plugins for converting audio to MIDI, detecting and editing chords, stem splitting for isolating different parts of a song, and editing notes in polyphonic audio without affecting the timbre of the original.

Apple could fold the company's tools into Logic Pro or GarageBand. Logic Pro already has Stem Splitter and Chord ID, but polyphonic note editing would be new.

The filing says Apple acquired "certain assets" from Samplab and hired "certain Samplab employees." Apple is considered a "gatekeeper" in the European Union, and the Digital Markets Act requires it to inform the EC about deals involving core platform services, digital services, and data collection.

Samplab shut down on September 17, 2026. The Samplab website now redirects to Apple.com. Tag: Apple Acquisition[ 11 comments ]

As a musician and music producer all I have to say is “**** you, Apple”. Why? What's wrong with this?Score: 4 Votes (Like | Disagree)Ssvish11 hours ago at 04:16 pmGood to know about this. Can see it being incorporated into Logic Studio as a part of Apple Creator Studio apps in the future. Don't know when it will happen.Score: 2 Votes (Like | Disagree)UrfinJuice11 hours ago at 04:11 pmPolyphonic processing like in Melodyne and polyphonic audio-to-MIDI conversion are very welcome. It's great to have everything in one DAW. Switching to new devices and using multiple PCs is easier when you don't have to lug around 1500 VSTs. Constantly checking for VST updates is also a thing of the past.Score: 2 Votes (Like | Disagree)VVrg2810 hours ago at 05:35 pm
