New Yamaha app: piano evoce Beta

[pjd]

Just saw this on the Japanese Yamaha site.

Yamaha have a new app in the works called "piano evoce ß". It is an evolution of Chord Tracker combining CT's chord extraction and playback with a tool that extracts the vocal stem from an audio song. Yamaha are testing a beta version of the app, hence, the beta in the name. Looks like the extraction is performed by Yamaha software running on a server. Right now, it is MacOS 12.0 only; no Windows. (There's a switch. )

I captured some translated info at: https://sandsoftwaresound.net/aint-no-april-fool-piano-evoce-s/

Should eventually show up for Yamaha arrangers and digital pianos. (?)

Looks interesting -- pj
