Roland’s Holistic Approach to AI for Music Creation - Paul McCabe, Ichiro Yazawa, Kazuyoshi Sasamori
https://audio.dev/ -- @audiodevcon​ --- Roland’s Holistic Approach to AI for Music Creation - Paul McCabe, Ichiro Yazawa & Kazuyoshi Sasamori - ADC 2024 --- This presentation introduces Roland's approach to AI for music creation and will include a technical demonstration of a new AI-powered application. Roland will also overview its holistic strategy for AI which considers R&D, policy, and governance mechanisms. As a general-purpose disruptive technology, Artificial Intelligence is in the process of impacting virtually every aspect of life, including creativity. As a leading music technology innovator, Roland is highly optimistic about the potential of AI to enhance and empower human music making but is deeply aware of the need to innovate responsibly. --- Slides: https://data.audio.dev/talks/2024/rol... --- Paul McCabe Paul McCabe is the SVP of Research and Innovation and leader of Roland Future Design Lab, Roland’s horizon-scanning R&D group. In more than 30 years with Roland, Paul has held positions in product management, marketing, and served as the President & CEO of Roland Canada before relocating from Vancouver to Los Angeles with his family in 2017. As the leader of Roland Future Design Lab (RFDL), Paul oversees a growing team of engineers and technologists exploring the frontiers of emerging tech, trends, and shifts in creative culture around the world. Paul is a family man, composer, sound designer, and lover of science fiction and ice hockey. --- Ichiro Yazawa Ichiro Yazawa has worked in product development for music production and connectivity technology development such as USB, IEEE1394, Ethernet Audio, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and MIDI 2.0. Through supporting development of Audio, MIDI, the USB layer, and standard drivers for major operating systems, I have had many friends all over the world who are full of irreplaceable ideas and skills. In recent years, I have been responsible for a wide range of research and development including AI, Web3, IoT, and Cyber Security. I have been meeting friends with more diverse talents and following paths to new possibilities. Personally, I enjoy listening to ambient music and playing keyboard on weekends. --- Kazuyoshi Sasamori I studied signal processing, information processing, and computer architecture at university, and have been working as an engineer at Roland for many years since then. I have been involved in the development of pianos, drums, and synthesizers, focusing on hardware design and sound system design. I have also spent time at BOSS team, working on guitar products. Some of my memorable projects include the speaker system for the V-Piano Grand and the noise reduction for V-Drums. In recent years, I have served as a Product Manager, planning and developing synthesizers such as the JUNO-DS, RD-2000, and FANTOM/FANTOM-0. Following that, I took on the role of technology development in the R&D department, and I am currently leading research and development as an AI Product Manager at the Roland Future Design Lab, with a focus on the utilization and implementation of AI. The future looks incredibly exciting. Personally, I am an avid fan of synthesizers and rhythm machines, and I love being surrounded by a plethora of hardware—sometimes I feel like my body is made of electronic sounds. However, I also appreciate Jazz and Acoustic music. In my free time, I enjoy outdoor activities and spending time with my dog. --- ADC is an annual event celebrating all audio development technologies, from music applications and game audio to audio processing and embedded systems.
