Stem separation

Stem separation lets you isolate broad musical components from one source file.

​
What it can produce

OtherEverything except vocals, drums, and bass
No VocalsKaraoke/instrumental — drums + bass + other
No DrumsVocals + bass + other

Drums+BassRhythm section only

​
How it works

The Meiji Sampler platform includes a separate stem separation binary which is loaded on-demand the first time this feature is needed. This free add-on is approximately ~100MB. To save disk space, it is not included with the base install.

​
When to use it

  • isolate drums from a mixed loop
  • remove drums so you can layer your own
  • extract vocal or bass material for chopping

​
Tradeoffs

Stem separation is powerful, but it is not magical. It works best when the source material is already reasonably clean. It’s normal to hear some artifacts. At time of writing, Meiji Sampler is using the state-of-the-art algorithm for stem separation, and when a better approach is released we’ll do our best to integrate it as well.
