Apple Music Karaoke Experience Coming to These Supported Devices

[Scipster]

Who knew audio recording & playback would be so hard 😂

Just want everyone to know that Air in Arabic means peen

Wield that word carefully

Who knew all those sub-$100 Chinese karaoke boxes on Amazon are using cutting-edge 7 nm processors. Or they must be, since apparently that's what's needed to play music and scroll words at the same time.

Why no Mac support? even just for those on Apple Silicon?

I doubt this new feature will have much success. Excluding macs and most Apple TV 4Ks kills a lot of use cases.

Interesting
iPhones with A13 Bionic chip or newer
iPad Pro with M1 or newer
iPad Air with A14 or newer
iPad mini with A15
iPad with A13 or newer
Apple TV with A15

The superfast M1 Ultra and M2 Macs can't run this software. Macs are really an afterthought in today's Apple.

Oh no looks like I must finally upgrade my A12Z iPad Pro (2020). First it looked like we weren't gonna get Stage Manager, and though we eventually won that battle, this is just too much... /s

 

[Kkspire]

So excited about this!!!!

 

[jwdsail]

If it worked with any of the hardware I already own, and worked with my iTunes Library/Music Library instead of requiring an Apple Music subscription.. I may have been interested in trying the feature out?

Hope it's a good user experience for those who have supported hardware, and like subscribing to music.

Maybe if you bothered to actually read more about what this feature is, you'd realize that it's not just playing music and scrolling words.

It's simply A13 and newer across the board, no? M1 is essentially an A14X, the Apple TV had the A12 before the A15, there was no A13 based iPad Pro, etc.

I don’t suppose that if I ask Apple politely, they would cease development of this frivolous, utterly unneeded future?

It's a shame it doesn't work with MacBooks. It's common to use a laptop as a karaoke, and go on YouTube, during a party at home.

They should probably fix the stuttering, jittery mess that is iOS16 before introducing novelty features like this one.

Edit: I like nachos.

Unfortunately you were already quoted before you edited your post.

Someone should read carefully:

iPad Pro 11-inch (Third-generation) --> A12X --> same Neural Engine as A12 --> A12 is inside the Apple TV 4K 2021

Will we now stop saying that the minimum requirement is A13?!

The third-gen 11-inch is the M1 model. The first gen (2018) was A12X, the second gen (2020) was A12Z, but the third-gen (2021) was M1.

 

[ikjadoon]

So the second gen Neural Engine in the A13+ is needed for this feature to work its vocals-suppressing magic.

Then why don't any M1 or M2 Macs support it?

The M1 is based on the A14, the M2 is based on the A15. Apple specifically bragged about the Neural Engine "coming to macOS for the first time"

Can one change the key of the song?

Because the OS isn’t based on iOS and it may be coming later.

Well that is unfortunate it only works on the latest AppleTV, would have been fun over the holidays 🙁

I wonder if it would work on an older Apple TV via supported device and air play/screen mirror?

No, it pretty much just plays music and scrolls words, albeit with some pizzazz.

 

[CarAnalogy]

Technically it's not but especially as of this last release, they clearly worked on iOS first and foremost by far then just ported it to everything else. If you read the list of changes for iOS, you have already read the list of changes for macOS.

I know this is a frivolous example and this may indeed come to the Mac, but even though the Mac was first by far, it's now rapidly becoming desktop iOS.

I agree, if my late 2015 MacBook Pro with an intel i5 chip can run algoriddim djay pro ai with neural mix that separates stems into instrumentals & acapellas on the fly, then I’m sure my ipad pro 4th gen with A12Z chip can handle this karaoke feature.
