Engram is an offline sampler that turns AI hallucinations into music
The Verge AI · rss · 2026-09-28
Music startup Thoughtful Things has launched Engram on Kickstarter: a sampler/groovebox that uses AI to mangle incoming audio and even hallucinate entirely new sounds. It's not "Suno in a box" — no push-button top-40 hits, but experimental, uncanny sound design pushing AI audio models to their limits. The device runs fully offline with an in-house, custom-trained "tiny AI" model.
