Soundation’s Gennie is a game-changer.
Gennie aims to “set a new standard in AI music” by providing a seamless way to conjure up original audio snippets right within the Soundation studio. Users simply enter a text prompt describing the desired audio, and Gennie generates a corresponding 12-second sample.
Adam Hasslert, CEO of Soundation, explains the significance:
“By harnessing the power of generative AI and online music production, Gennie provides users with a unique avenue for musical exploration. This groundbreaking integration sets a new standard in AI music, offering endless possibilities for creativity and expression.“
The quality of the AI-generated audio is reportedly top-notch, free of the digital artifacts and glitches often associated with AI music outputs. Gennie strives to create samples that sound like authentic clips from professional recordings.
Gennie’s text-to-audio capabilities are impressively flexible. It can generate drums, basslines, melodies, chords and more across a wide spectrum of musical genres and styles. Users can specify elements like genre, tempo, instrumentation and mood in their text prompts to guide Gennie toward the desired output.

Once generated, the samples can be easily leveraged within Soundation’s online studio.

Gennie’s AI sampling capabilities are poised to be transformative for producers and beatmakers. As the company puts it: “There is no need to dig through crates or sample libraries to find the perfect sample when you can simply create it.”
