DAACI develops next-gen smart and AI creative music tools. Our series of patented technologies empower music makers to meet the rapidly growing demand for personalised music. Our technologies encompass tools that supercharge the creative process dynamically composing new music in real-time, and smart editing systems that seamlessly adapt existing tracks. Built by a world-class team of musicians and composers, DAACI’s technology is based on over 30 years of research. Incorporating a growing portfolio of 79 granted patents and supported by partnerships with the UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training in Artificial Intelligence and Music at Queen Mary University of London and the innovative Abbey Road Red incubator, DAACI is the go-to solution for creators who make and use music. With our series of pioneering plugins and tools, creators can benefit from our unique approach and our understanding of deep music theory, giving them multiple lifetimes’ worth of musical experience at their fingertips. The patented generative component within the DAACI framework does not rely on machine learning or Large Language Models (LLMs). No form of training has taken place on any pre-existing, third party sound recordings of musical works or other source data. Instead, the generative mechanism is driven by a complex heuristics engine that operates on human input and is based on the principles of musicology, music theory and music research.
