RipX: Visualizing and soloing stems on the piano roll

RipX Try it →Watch full video →Ryuichiro Yamaki · Apr 2026

Demo summary

The user shows how audio is converted into pitch-based notes on a piano roll and solos individual stems like vocals and kick drums to check separation quality.

Step-by-step

View the converted audio as pitch-based notes on the piano roll
Select 'Straight Notes' to simplify the visual representation of the pitch curves
Locate the separated stem layers on the left panel
Solo the Vocal stem to check for bleed or artifacts
Solo the Guitar, Kick, and Drum stems individually to verify separation quality

Options

Toggle between raw pitch curves and 'Straight Notes' for better visibility
Combine multiple drum-related stems to hear the full percussion section

Watch out for

Audio with heavy effects like reverb or phasing may result in less clean separation

Tips

Use the 'Straight Notes' view if the default pitch visualization looks too cluttered or 'wiggly'
Listen to stems both individually and in groups to understand what the AI has captured

Highlights

“It's amazing that the entire audio can be handled like MIDI.”
