Artists in DSP released Amorph (open beta), their free AI-prompt-driven app, for macOS and Windows.
AI has been a relatively hot topic around here recently, with the release of projects like Noizefield’s Audio Plugin Coder (APC).
The conversation continues as we take a look at Amorph by Artists in DSP.
Before we look at Amorph (potentially the plugin to rule all plugins?), I just want to be clear that my typical position as an AI sceptic is broad.
When I say things like I’d hit a hypothetical reset button and remove AI from all creative industries, it’s because AI inherently creates opportunities for tech to leapfrog talent, creativity, and hard work.
We can’t avoid that, unfortunately, but it doesn’t mean every AI-related release has those intentions, and I don’t throw them all under the same umbrella.
To make things more confusing, there’s often a very thin line between an AI product being positively or negatively received.
When talking about Amorph, Nils from Artists in DSP said, “We really think this is a new way of using AI to improve creativity instead of replacing it.”
I love that message; so let’s see what Amorph is.
Amorph (open beta) is a text-to-DSP plugin that transforms ideas into instruments and effects, powered by the Cmajor language.
In the simplest terms, Amorph is a plugin that will be whatever you need it to be, whether that’s a lush reverb, a vintage saturation effect, or a classic synth. It is actually two plugins: one for FX, and one for instruments.
It does so through three stages: Ask, Compile, and Play.
The Ask stage is where you ask LLMs (Large Language Models) like ChatGPT or Gemini to generate code based on your idea or request.
Compile is when you paste the code into Amorph, and Play is when Amorph creates a functional interface with knobs for all parameters.
If that all seems very simple, check out the walkthrough video for a deeper explanation.
You don’t need to know any code to create instruments and effects with Amorph, but you have the option to tweak or rewrite code, if that’s in your wheelhouse.
Amorph is available in AU, VST3, and CLAP formats for macOS (10.13 and later) or Windows (0/11).
The idea of saving hard-earned money with AI’s help seems instantly attractive. Additionally, Amorph isn’t making music for you; it’s providing the tools you’ll use to make music, and that’s another positive.
It depends on how far down the rabbit hole you want to go; a programmer might have an issue with a plugin that does the thing that they spent years learning, and I couldn’t argue with that.
But we also have to consider that Amorph is about creating tools for personal use (or peer-to-peer sharing), not retail products, and that certainly changes the sentiment.
As a musician, I’m not against getting help with the parts we can’t do ourselves; I just want most of a musical work to come from direct human interaction.
I think Artists in DSP created Amorph with the right intentions: to use AI to help us create, not to create for us, and that goes a long way.
There are so many grey areas driven by personal opinion/preference, and so much confusion, I’ve completely forgotten which pill I took from Morpheus, and he doesn’t answer my calls anymore.
So, whether this is the Matrix or the real world, let me know what you think about Amorph in the comments.
All in all, thanks to Artists in DSP for the release!
