Transform the sound of your instrument using Neural Nets and FM synthesis.
As you play. In Real Time.

How does it work?

Bessel’s Trick uses Audio-to-Audio transformation of musical instrument sounds.

Under the hood, the plugin extracts features (RMS, Pitch) from a musical instrument input, and feeds them to a neural net that controls an FM synth. We run the nets at ~700 times a second, providing minimum latency.

Get the Plugin

  • First, choose the package according to your OS.
macOS ARM macOS intel Ubuntu

Latest update: 22/10/23 - Version 0.12

Instructions

The plugin can be loaded into any DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) that supports VST3 or AU plugin formats.
Each each neural net (called model) works like a synth patch.
Each model implements a new sound you can control with your instrument.

  • Download the plugin into a directory where your DAW can see it.
  • Download and uncompress the pretrained models.
  • Open the plugin at your DAW, and press the (+) button.
  • Select the folder where you uncompressed the pretrained models.
  • Done! The models can now be selected from the GUI’s list.
