Reveal Sound has released Spire Synthesizer 1.5.17, a free update that adds a new customizable AI preset generator for creating endlessly new sounds.
In the last two years, AI has been a constant topic in every area. It has also spilled over into the music tech world, and more and more companies are building AI tools into their products.
The latest addition comes from Reveal Sound. The developers have now given its popular Spire Synthesizer plugin AI Power via a new free update.
Reveal Sound Spire 1.5.17
Spire 1.5.17 is a new free update that adds AI power to the preset browser. In this, you will find an AI preset generator with which you can generate endless new presets.
The process is entirely adaptable via the new AI engine screen. Here, you can tweak the network version and the model, choose the timbre, speed, DNA Q, Corrector, and the number of presets the engine will generate.
To use the new AI power, you must connect to your user account online. According to Reveal Sound, the beta version has a free mode with 2048 presets per day for those who have a license and 64 presets per day for those who don’t.
It is unknown whether the function will cost money in the future or will be limited in the number of generated presets.
First Impression
I’m not a fan of AI in music tech. But this function looks interestingly implemented and could help many people get fast sounds.
Reveal Sound Spire Synthesizer 1.5.17 is available now in a beta version as a free update. Spire is out now for $189 + VAT/229€.

“I’m not a fan of AI in music tech. But this function looks interestingly implemented and could help many people get fast sounds.”
Exactly. This is really where things are getting interesting, when it comes to AI/ML in Music Tech.
Of course, as is the case for a lot of GenAI in music, a lot of the same results can come from very little AI/ML. A bit of randomization and “morphing between patches” can go a very long way!
(Having said this, the sounds they showcase are so generic that it’s hard to tell if the implementation is that interesting. The proof of the pudding is in the eating.)
I’m expecting this doesn’t include the Reason Rack Extension version, but I hope it does.
