Deloy
Manifesto

The music AI where the human remains the author.

This isn't a marketing speech. It's how we make product decisions. Every time we doubt whether to include a feature, we reread these principles.

What we believe

Four convictions that guide us.

01

Authorship isn't optional

When a tool takes part in making music, there has to be a record of how much it put in and how much you put in. Not for bureaucracy — for fairness. Your work deserves to be kept separate from what isn't yours. That's why every export with Deloy carries a cryptographic signature.

02

AI should work as a collaborator, not a replacement

The tools that age best are the ones that multiply the human, not the ones that replace them. Deloy suggests; you decide. Deloy analyzes; you interpret. The final judgment is yours. If we built something that decides for you, we'd stop being a tool and become an invisible author.

03

Your sound is yours. And your AI should train on that

Generic models produce generic music. The sonic identity of a label, a producer or an artist shouldn't be contaminated with the average sound of the internet. When we train a virtual Producer, we do it with your references, your catalog, your aesthetic. Not with anyone else's.

04

The studio workflow matters more than the dashboard

A production tool that lives in a browser tab is a tool that loses. Deloy lives where you live when you produce: inside Ableton. We don't ask you to change DAW, flow or habits. We give you one more collaborator in the session.

What we don't do

Four lines we don't cross.

Any Deloy feature that crosses one of these lines is dropped. No exceptions.

We don't train models on catalogs that aren't ours

If a label gives us its catalog to train a virtual Producer, that Producer exists only for that label. It doesn't cross over with others, isn't sold to third parties, doesn't feed a global model.

We don't hide the AI's contribution

The AI Score is visible in the plugin while you produce. Every Deloy DNA certificate spells out the percentage. If a track came out 80% from the AI, saying 'I made it' stops being honest — and Deloy doesn't take part in that lie.

We don't replace the human producer in judgment decisions

Deloy can suggest an arrangement, a mix change, a different texture. It never decides on its own. The last decision is always the human's who has their hands on the session.

We don't sell your production data

Your sessions, your references, your virtual Producers are yours. We don't use them to train external models. We don't sell them. We don't share them with partners to 'improve the product'. Your work isn't our dataset.

If you share these ideas, Deloy is for you.

If you think differently, you can try it too — but we'll wear you down by putting your signature on every export.
