An EU disclosure reveals Apple's deal for selected assets and employees of Samplab, the ETH-founded developer of AI audio-editing software.
The European Commission's acquisition register describes an Apple subsidiary acquiring selected Samplab assets and offering employment to members of its team. The transaction was notified on 17 June and reported publicly on 19 October; the notification date does not establish when it closed.
Samplab developed tools for editing individual notes and chords within recorded audio, separating stems and exporting MIDI. Its website now redirects to Apple. The disclosure does not state a purchase price or describe plans to integrate the technology into Apple products.
