Apple reportedly buys Samplab for Logic Pro stem audio
Logic Pro already shipped stem splitting in 2024, so the reported Samplab deal is an asset purchase, not a capability debut.

| Samplab | Logic Pro | |
|---|---|---|
| founded | 2020 | |
| employees | no more than 10 | |
| stem splitting | granular stem separation | since 2024 |
| acquisition | certain assets |
The Apple TV page is a storefront. It lists a $14.99 monthly plan after a seven-day trial and a Peacock bundle starting at $17.99 per month.
The AppleInsider page points to a different change. It says Apple is acquiring Samplab, a Zurich-based audio firm, and ties the deal to Logic Pro.
The free-week line on the streaming page marks it as a subscription page. The AppleInsider page is the document that carries the deal.
The deciding number is 2024. Logic Pro already had stem splitting then, so the acquisition does not prove a new capability. It points to an existing asset.
The wire also says Samplab was founded in 2020 and may have no more than 10 employees. The EU filing lists certain assets and employment offers.
The useful change for Apple is access to granular stem separation and note-level editing. That is not a new subscription tier.
The packet does not measure a release date, a Logic Pro version, or a price for the acquired audio technology. It does not say whether the code will be a plugin, a built-in tool, or a paid add-on.
Apple is buying a small audio asset, not proving a Logic Pro release. The buyer should wait for a version number before treating chord editing as a Logic Pro feature.
The deal is constrained by Logic Pro's existing stem splitting. It does not prove that Samplab's chord editing will appear in Logic Pro or that it will be priced separately.
