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.
