Labs · Track 1 · How it works

Complex underneath. Clear where it matters.

Cyphermatix Labs combines signal processing, machine learning, structured analysis, search systems and interface design to work on difficult technical problems in creative workflows. This page is for engineers and technical partners: enough to judge the approach, without giving away the recipe.

From audio to your decision.

  1. 01

    Audio:

    source of truth.

    The original audio remains the source of truth.

  2. 02

    Analysis:

    signal processing and ML.

    We measure properties that matter for the task, such as key, tempo and structure.

  3. 03

    Profile:

    organised information.

    Measurements become a structured profile for every track.

  4. 04

    Context:

    your goal.

    Your set, your direction and your constraints shape what's relevant.

  5. 05

    Suggestions:

    options with reasons.

    The system surfaces possibilities, comparisons and warnings, and is designed to explain them.

  6. 06

    Your decision:

    you.

    Designed so the final choice stays with you.

Research areas.

  • Signal processing

    Offline audio analysis and preparation, with real-time work as an active research area.

  • Machine learning and AI

    Learned models, used when they clearly improve understanding, detection or workflow.

  • Search and matching

    Ways to move through large music libraries by context, beyond the literal metadata in the files.

  • Workflow systems

    Orchestration, state and automation that combine many technical steps into one streamlined process.

  • Hardware and software integration

    Work on connecting our analysis to the DJ software and hardware people already use.

  • Interaction design

    Professional controls that show the right amount of complexity at the right time.

How we build.

Local first

Analysis runs on the user's own machine. Music libraries don't need to leave it.

Traceable results

Every analysis result records how it was produced, so results stay comparable as our models improve.

Measured against people

We judge suggestion quality against the judgment of working DJs, alongside our internal metrics.

Platform.

  • SoniQ Pilot runs on macOS.
  • It's designed to work alongside the DJ software you already use.
