Logic Pro, Apple's professional music production software, includes a set of AI-powered virtual musicians called Session Players. A music producer can add a Drummer, Bass Player, Keyboard Player, or Synth Player to a song and the software will automatically generate realistic instrumental performances that follow the song's chords and respond to the producer's style choices. The Drummer feature launched with Logic Pro X in 2013; Bass Player, Keyboard Player, and Synth Player were added in May 2024.
Details
Session Players use machine learning models trained on real recordings from professional musicians to generate performances that adapt in real time. The Bass Player was trained in collaboration with professional bass players using advanced AI and sampling technologies. Users can direct each Session Player by adjusting controls for complexity, intensity, and feel, and the AI generates new performances accordingly. The feature is available on both Mac and iPad versions of Logic Pro. Because these virtual musicians produce original musical content on demand, they replace the need for session musician recordings in many production contexts, though the tool is aimed at augmenting composers rather than eliminating live players.

Other practices by Apple
OtherSafari's Intelligent Tracking Prevention (ITP) uses machine learning running directly in the browser to identify advertising networks and data companies that track users across different websites, and then blocks or limits their ability to do so. First introduced in September 2017, ITP has been updated continuously and now blocks third-party tracking cookies entirely by default.Creative GenPersonal Voice is an accessibility feature introduced with iOS 17 in September 2023 that lets users create a synthetic voice that sounds like their own. It is designed primarily for people who are at risk of losing their ability to speak due to conditions like ALS. After recording 150 short phrases (roughly 15 minutes of audio), the device processes the recordings overnight using on-device machine learning and creates a voice clone the user can speak through in calls, FaceTime, and apps.OtherApple Watch uses machine learning algorithms to detect when a wearer has had a hard fall or been in a car crash, and can automatically contact emergency services if the person is unresponsive. Fall Detection has been available since Apple Watch Series 4 in 2018. Crash Detection for severe car accidents was added with the iPhone 14 and Apple Watch Series 8 in 2022.
