Ripple is a free-to-use, AI-powered mobile application developed by ByteDance/TikTok, designed for music creation, composition, and audio editing. It aims to simplify the process of making music, acting as a portable digital audio workstation (DAW) on a mobile device.









Key features and functions included:

  • AI Melody-to-Song Generation: Users can hum or sing a melody into the app, and Ripple's AI will generate an instrumental accompaniment in various musical styles. The generated track matches the length of the input melody.
    .
  • Virtual Recording Studio: The app functions as a mobile DAW, allowing users to record, import, edit (cut, trim), mix, and remix audio files directly on their phone.

  • Track Separation: Ripple can split imported audio into separate tracks (up to four), enabling users to extract vocals or remove specific instruments.

  • AI Vocal Generation: For users who write lyrics but cannot sing, the app can generate artificial vocals.

  • Chord Recognition: It can analyze imported audio and display the chords in sync with the music.

  • Inspiration Tools: Offers presets, royalty-free loops, and chord ideas to help start the creative process, including sounds suited for platforms like TikTok.

  • Audio Enhancement: Features like "Audio Boost" can enhance the quality of specific instrumental elements like piano and guitar.

  • Mashup/Remix Tools: Includes tools for creating mashups by blending vocals and instruments, and remixing tracks to alter their mood
