"Tonalic is based entirely on real studio recordings of experienced musicians who adapt to the tempo, harmony, and groove of a production in real time. The result is a natural musicality rarely found in digital environments." "At the heart of Tonalic is an extensive collection of real performances recorded by over 30 professional studio musicians from around the world. These recordings span more than ten styles and provide access to 180 instruments that respond dynamically and harmoniously to each project. The software analyzes chord progressions, keys, and rhythmic structures, interpreting them musically, just as a real musician would respond in a studio setting. Rather than using loops or AI-generated phrases, Tonalic transfers the interaction and timing of human musicians into digital form. The result is lively, realistic-sounding tracks that fit organically into the song structure. The interplay between human expression and technical precision is particularly exciting. At the heart of Tonalic is Adaptive Musical Intelligence (AMI), a further development of Melodyne DNA technology. AMI enables Tonalic to recognize and respond to harmonic relationships rather than forcing them. This preserves the feeling of a real session while allowing the user to maintain musical control. When creating an arrangement, you can adjust each part flexibly, generate variations, and add subtle nuances without losing the performance’s natural flow. Tonalic opens up an intuitive and interactive way to create music—with the depth of a real performance and the flexibility of digital tools." https://www.gearnews.com/tonalic-celemony-studio-tech/#tonalic-celemony-pushes-the-boundaries-between-man-and-machineThe irony on all this is that back in 2003 - when I was working on code for my own version of the same thing as "realtracks" for a project similar to the BB VST plugin - eventually shelved - I actually contacted the founder of Celemony, Peter Neubäcker begging him several times to licence me the DNA tech... and of course he refused...... :|

my head is spinning at the moment. Waiting for my free version. Would you like to try Tonalic? For you, as a Melodyne user, we’ve prepared as a special gift a product not available for purchase: Tonalic essential. Offering an exclusive selection of guitar material, this small edition of Tonalic comes complete with all the functions and musical intelligence of the larger editions. And, what’s more, no time limit! The license will never expire.
Please bear with us at the outset, though. With so much about Tonalic that is new, we want to roll it out slowly to make sure everything is functioning correctly. This may take a few more days, but as soon as we’re set, we’ll leave a free Tonalic essential license in your user account and notify you by e-mail.

It’s AI manipulation of samples which explains both the subscription and being browser based. Access to the massive data centers required for that much horsepower is not free. Even if you had a $32,000 NVIDIA tower or a quartet of Mac Studios linked together via USB 4.2 cables at 2/3 the price, you still couldn’t render it as quickly. Although it’s been possible to link multiple Macs to combine them as one over 10GB Ethernet since 2017 (Apple showed 20 Minis crunching an animation file at the 2018 WWDC), macOS 26.2 Tahoe has introduced new protocols for doing this over USB 4.2/TB5 making it much more efficient rivaling the NVIDIA tower. Even still, the studios are now crunching these massive files over the internet. No one is expecting Celemony to ever release this as a stand-alone product. Waiting for my free version. That could happen. Celemony could certainly follow the same model as other browser based AI companies by releasing a “free” version and charging for usage by making you buy “credits”. Many companies have gone to this model. One AI stand-alone that I own is ACE Studio. Rendering a simple 3 minute, acapella 4-part choral demo can take well over an hour on my Studio M2 Ultra with 192GB Integrated RAM. Since these are demos only, my clients can forgive the fact that the “singers” don’t pronounce English or Latin as well as I would like. Fortunately, it wasn’t all that expensive.

Just my opinion, I know it's new, early stage, and maybe I did not give it the time it deserved, but for me, it does not come close to BIAB as a product for one, and it does not come close to me being able to 'create what I want' as BIAB does. I think Celemony is an excellent company and Melodyne has been indispensable for me, but this new product, I cannot get out of it what I would expect to, given the idea behind it. BIAB just seems to let me do what I want creatively. It adapts to my needs. That said, I am sooo looking forward to BIAB 2026 for Mac :-)
