Modulate, maker of an AI music detector, closes a new round
Modulate, an audio AI company based in Boston, said on September 28 that it had closed a new funding round. Future Ventures led it, and earlier investors Hyperplane and Lakestar also took part. The announcement is about voice AI broadly, yet since June Modulate has sold an API that checks music for AI generation, rating vocals and instrumentals separately in four-second windows, pitched to streaming platforms, distributors and rights organizations. The deal arrives as Deezer says fully AI-generated tracks made up more than half of its new daily uploads on peak days in June.
