[CES 2020] From Imagination to Reality: Self-Playing RIMA Arrives at CES 2020

RIMA, which is equipped with an artificial intelligence module that plays by itself (hereinafter referred to as RIMA), will be introduced at the Eureka Hall of CES 2020, the largest home appliance expo held in Las Vegas for four days from January 7th to 10th, 2019 (according to local US time).
RIMA, a proprietary technology from Emotionwave, a leading startup in the field of music artificial intelligence, is an emotional technology that easily and conveniently disseminates the unique sound of instruments into life by applying music information learned through deep learning to actual instruments. It represents a progressive and leading step compared to existing music artificial intelligence that extracts audio sources with digital signals.

Even in Korea, where the music artificial intelligence industry is not yet familiar, RIMA has been recognized for its value by distinguished companies and government officials upon request. Having smoothly performed performances of Jazz, Classical, and K-pop genres with institutions such as Intel, Pangyo Techno Valley, Korea Creative Content Agency, Changwon City Hall, and Siheung City Hall, RIMA plans to solidify its image as a global music artificial intelligence company through CES 2020, marking its second entry into the US after participating in SXSW 2019 (South by Southwest) held in Austin, Texas last March.

RIMA's innovation lies not only in its own technology but also in the services that will reach customers through hardware. The company believes that with content and directing capabilities for music education R&D and entertainment performances, it will no longer be difficult for consumers unfamiliar with the technology to learn instrumental performance or host and view a performance.
Currently, companies possessing artificial intelligence music technology mostly have music creation and customer taste-based music recommendation curation service technologies based on PCM (Pulse Code Modulation) or MIDI. However, RIMA encompasses these element technologies to build an acoustic robot band ensemble environment in real space, and experts suggest that it could lead the future of intelligent music with innovative solutions. Delicate performance nuances are achieved through real-time control of multi-channel actuator robotics modules via various digital signal channels, and simultaneous multi-channel ensembles are possible across more than 300 channels using algorithms and control techniques appropriate for each instrument.
RIMA, which can perform creative ensembles featuring drums, piano, guitar, and marimba, is an integrated solution that provides consumers with music play culture, education culture, and creation culture. As a K-pop performer and global musician at the center of the world's popular music data, it is a service that will dynamically change the ecosystem of the music industry within the next 5 years and a technology that must be paid attention to at CES 2020.
