State-of-the-art NAM technology

The Blackstar Beam Mini is the first compact guitar amplifier to support Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) technology, which is based on artificial intelligence. Unlike conventional amp-modelling systems, which merely replicate the sound of well-known amplifiers and effects, NAM creates a detailed digital representation of complete signal paths. This captures not only amplifiers, but also speaker cabinets, microphone set-ups and even upstream overdrive or distortion pedals. The technology is based on an open-source standard that is freely accessible to a broad user base. Furthermore, Blackstar collaborates with TONE3000 – one of the world’s largest platforms for community-created NAM presets.

Moises AI Stem Separation

The Blackstar Beam Mini also offers another innovative feature: thanks to the integrated Moises AI Stem Separation, individual instrument tracks can be selectively separated from existing pieces of music. For example, the guitar track of a song can be muted so that the track can be used as a play-along for your own practice with minimal effort. However, this feature is not yet available. According to Blackstar, Moises AI Stem Separation will be released as part of a planned software update in August.
