音虫

Platform introduction:

SoundBug (音虫) is a localized music tool created to solve "two core needs"-- Personal side : Music lovers want to create but face "no ability to arrange music, no physical instruments, and difficulty in professional software"; Education side : Primary and secondary music classrooms need easy-to-use tools that adapt to the curriculum standards to help teachers prepare lessons and students practice. Its core logic is to "reconstruct music creation and teaching with 'AI lowering the threshold + educational customization'": no professional arrangement knowledge is required, and AI generates basic music passages with one click; no need to purchase physical musical instruments, and 600+ virtual musical instruments cover the common sounds of the band; No need to worry about teaching adaptation. The built-in educational resource package is suitable for domestic classrooms, shortening the time from "zero basics" to "completing the work" from "several months" to "hourly level", adapting to the all-level needs of music from small white to primary and secondary school teachers.

Core functions:

1. Core: Two functional modules

1. Low threshold music creation: AI-assisted, everyone can make music
   Focus on "simplifying operations + enriching resources" and lowering the threshold for creation:

   • AI intelligent orchestration : Supports the "extremely fast generation" function. Even if you can't arrange music, you can input the style (such as pop, rock, folk) and rhythm (such as 4/4 beats, 3/4 beats), and AI can automatically generate basic music passages, and then you can manually adjust the instrument ratio and volume. The document emphasizes that "the work can be completed quickly without arranging music";
   • Massive virtual instruments and passages : Built-in 600+ virtual instruments (covering piano, guitar, drum group, string group and other commonly used instruments in bands), with high timbre restoration and can simulate the real performance texture; at the same time, 600+ classic passages are provided. You can build the foundation of music with one click (such as using drum groups to establish the rhythm and filling the melody with string segments);
   • Simple recording and effectors : Supports direct microphone recording (such as recording vocals and musical instruments), and built-in 10+ effectors (such as reverb, equalizer) can optimize recording sound quality without needing to learn additional professional mixing knowledge. Newbies can also bring up clear sound effects.

2. Educational scene adaptation: teaching assistance, empowering music classes
   Relying on the background of education certification, we provide exclusive teaching functions:

   • Classroom tools for primary and secondary schools : Designated by the "Air Classroom" of the Shanghai City Education Commission, they include classroom interactive functions (such as student music creation competition and collective rhythm practice). Teachers can view student works in real time and adapt to music class standards requirements (such as rhythm training, simple composition practice);
   • Teacher lesson preparation resources : Built-in music courseware templates (such as "Instrument Cognition" and "Rhythm Learning" theme courseware), teaching passages library (classified by grade, such as simple children's songs in the lower grades of primary school, multi-instrument ensemble passages in the upper grades), reducing teacher lesson preparation time;
   • Educational achievement certification : Support the export of students 'creative works for classroom displays and school art festival activities. Some cooperative schools can connect with municipal music competition submission channels through software.

typical application scenarios

• Created by personal music lovers : Office workers want to make original folk songs, use AI to arrange music to generate guitar chord passages, add built-in virtual drum sets to lay the rhythm, use effects to optimize sound quality after recording vocals, and complete the first demo in 2 hours., no need to buy physical instruments;
• Primary and secondary school music classes : Primary school music teachers use the "Instrument Recognition" courseware to allow students to listen to 600+ virtual instrument sounds (such as piano, violin, and drum sets) through software, and then use AI to compose music to create simple rhythm music segments., classroom interaction participation increased by 80%;
• Music teachers prepare lessons : Junior high school music teachers need to prepare for the "Pop Music Arrangement" class, retrieve classic pop music and string paragraph templates in the software, modify the ratio of the instrument (such as replacing it with an electronic organ tone), and insert PPT after exporting., lesson preparation time has been shortened from 3 hours to 1 hour;
• Youth Music Practice : Students participate in the school's "Campus Singer Competition" and use software to create accompaniment for the singing tracks (AI generates basic melody + virtual band instrument matching), which is exported and used for competition accompaniment, avoiding relying on paid accompaniment resources.

applicable population

• Music lovers (zero-foundation/entry-level): Want to create but can't arrange music, have no physical instruments, and pursue a low threshold to start;
• Primary and secondary school music teachers : Classroom tools that need to be adapted to the requirements of the curriculum standards are used for lesson preparation, classroom interaction, and student work guidance;
• Primary and secondary school students : Practice instrument recognition and rhythm creation in music classes, and complete after-school music homework;
• Music education institutions : used for children's music training and assisting teaching (such as teaching children to understand the timbre of musical instruments and simple choreography logic).

Unique advantages (compared to similar tools)

1. Localized education adaptation : The only domestic music software designated by the Shanghai Education Commission's "Air Classroom", its functions are in line with domestic music curriculum standards and understand domestic classroom needs better than overseas tools (such as GarageBand);
2. Balance of low threshold and professionalism : Simplify complex operations (such as hiding professional mixing parameters), but retain professional functions such as 600+ virtual instruments and VST compatibility, which is better than toy music apps (such as mobile music music Mini games). It can satisfy in-depth creation;
3. Rich educational resources : Including teaching courseware and classroom interactive functions, teachers do not need to find additional resources. It has more educational attributes than pure creative software (such as FL Studio) and is suitable for school procurement;
4. Domestic production is cost-effective : The number of virtual instruments (600+) is comparable to paid overseas software, but the price is only 1/3 of it. The education version supports multiple accounts, and school procurement costs are low;
5. High tone restoration : The document emphasizes "true tone restoration". Virtual instruments can simulate real performance details (such as guitar string-sweeping texture and drum dynamic volume), which is suitable for creating textured musical works.

precautions

1. Functional limitations of the free version : The free version may limit the number of virtual instruments (non-full 600+) and the number of projects saved. For in-depth creation, you need to upgrade the paid version;
2. Equipment requirements : Operation requires the computer to be equipped with 4GB+ memory and an independent sound card (to improve recording quality). Low-profile computers may cause slow loading of virtual instruments;
3. Plug-in compatibility : Support VST/VST3 plug-ins, but pay attention to plug-in version adaptation (for example, some older versions of VST plug-ins may not work). It is recommended to download the new version of the plug-in first;
4. Access to the education version : Schools/teachers need to apply through the official website education channel and provide qualification certificates (such as teacher certificates, school purchase letters) to avoid mispurchasing by non-educational users;
5. Learning resources : The official website provides tutorials (such as introduction to AI music arrangement and use of musical instrument tones). Newbies are advised to watch the tutorials before starting to improve creative efficiency.
