Neural DSP is continuing their quest for infinitely good tone thanks to Telemetric Inductive Nodal Actuator, or TINA if you’re feeling friendly. Long story short, TINA is a proprietary data-collection robot which uses machine learning to digitally replicate analog devices, such as guitar amplifiers, like never before.
“TINA represents a groundbreaking integration of robotics and state-of-the-art machine learning for audio processing, furthering Neural DSP‘s commitment to redefining the standards in guitar amplifier modeling accuracy,” Douglas Castro, CEO at Neural DSP Technologies.
“This feat is the result of collaboration between our respective plugin and Quad Cortex teams, who have worked tirelessly to significantly improve the architecture of both platforms to ensure plugins can run on Quad Cortex. We’ve successfully removed all human intervention within the amplifier modeling process – ensuring an unparalleled level of precision in every model by capturing every subtle detail in the amplifier’s controls.”
If you’re still a little confused about TINA, it’s essentially taking all the collected tone data of a give set and creating a complete representation of the device and its history; every tube, every transformer, every pot, every ding, and every scratch. So if there’s any specific tones you’ve been dying to model, there’s probably no better time than right now.
Leveraging the advanced capabilities of TINA, Neural DSP also launched CorOS 3.0.0 and the arrival of Quad Cortex Plugin Compatibility (PCOM), giving creators the ability to access the virtual devices in their Neural DSP plugins on their Quad Cortex. This initial release includes compatibility for two plugins: Archetype: Plini X and Archetype: Gojira X, with additional QC-compatible plugins set to launch in subsequent CorOS updates.
“We’re extremely proud to be one of the first companies to make native compatibility between guitar hardware and software a reality with CorOS 3.0.0,” concludes Dan Davies, Chief Marketing Officer at Neural DSP Technologies.
“By utilizing TINA, our secret weapon, users experience an unparalleled level of sound authenticity throughout our product range. This development makes our software more capable than ever before, and we look forward to continuing to build on this framework.”
