IK Multimedia TONEX SE | AI Tone Modeling and Guitar/Bass Amp Simulation Software
IK Multimedia TONEX SE is an AI modeling software for designing guitar and bass tones and for recording production. Through tone models and cabinet simulation, you can quickly achieve tones from clean to high-gain during DAW work or real-time monitoring, meeting practice, recording, and mixing needs.
Key Features
- AI tone modeling engine that recreates the dynamic feel and frequency response of amplifiers, cabinets, and pedals.
- Provides a browsable tone model library with support for tags, favorites, and search for easy management and comparison.
- Supports loading impulse responses (IR) and cabinet simulation to shape the tonal profile as needed.
- Parameters can be mapped to DAW automation and support MIDI controllers for tone or scene switching.
- Low-latency monitoring design suitable for real-time performance, rehearsal, streaming, and recording environments.
- Suitable for DI track re-amping workflows, allowing precise gain and tonal adjustments during mixing.
- Intuitive interface and preset categorization speed up the process of creating tones from inspiration to final product.
- Includes a wide range of tones from clean and breakup to high gain for various application scenarios.
System Requirements
- Operating System: macOS and Windows 64-bit.
- Recommended hardware: multi-core CPU, 8 GB or more of RAM, and a compatible Core Audio/ASIO audio interface.
- Storage: available space required to install the software and tone data.
- Display: recommended resolution 1280×768 or higher.
- Internet: product activation and tone management may require an internet connection.
- Note: Actual requirements and compatibility are subject to official announcements.
Plugin Formats
- AAX
- AU (macOS)
- VST3 (macOS/Windows)
- Specific supported versions and formats are subject to official information.
Supported Applications and Main Workflow Integration
Can be used as an insert effect in major DAWs that support AAX/AU/VST3, for real-time monitoring, recording, mixing, and re-amping. A common workflow is to record a clean DI track, insert TONEX SE to select a tone model or load IRs, use automation and MIDI control to switch scenes, and finally export offline or in real time. You can also integrate team or AI assistant preset naming and tagging conventions to improve tone management and communication efficiency.
