Roon Labs is proud to announce the largest project we’ve ever undertaken. After two years of focused design and engineering, we’re unveiling an entirely new technology we call Vālence.
Vālence is a system built on a massive new cloud database, which uses machine learning algorithms – designed with our passion for music – to model the many dimensions of relatedness more deeply than ever before. And because you use Roon to explore, collect, and listen to the music you love, Vālence understands you like no other.
The secret ingredient is the Roon community; Vālence learns from the musical tastes of over 100,000 expert listeners who use Roon.
The result is the ultimate music expert, which presents the world of music through a lens personalized just for you.
If you’ve used the hugely popular Roon Radio, you’ve seen an early example of Vālence in action. In the same way that the meaning of “radio” was transformed in Roon 1.6, today you’ll see Vālence transform your understanding of ideas like “new releases for you” and “suggested for you” in Roon 1.7.
Beyond Vālence, there’s more to this update: we’ve brought the kind of experience you expect from Roon to the world of live radio, and Roon OS has received a massive performance boost. As always, feedback from the community has led to a number of other improvements as well.
We hope you enjoy finding your next music obsession!
