More updates will be rolling out in the coming months, but right now users have access to core tools including Output, LANDR, Riverside, and Groover. Pass holders will also be offered special discounts and incentives upon sign-up from un:hurd, RoEx, Linktree, freebeat.ai, SoundCloud, Steinberg, Adobe, Fourthwall, SymphonyOS, Offtop, DISCO, [untitled], Mogul, AudioShake, and DistroKid.

Over the next few months, subscribers will also be able to purchase add-on features from some of these huge brands. The current subscription tiers are: Beginner, Beginner Plus, Beginner Complete, Producer, Producer Plus, Podcaster, and Podcaster Complete.

“We believe that the creative process should feel inspiring and not complicated. With Yamaha Creator Pass, we’re proud to bring trusted music and podcast offerings under one unified platform so that artists and content creators at any level have access to tools that turn concepts into art,” says Yusuke “Scott” Sugino, President and CEO of YMI.

“YMI’s mission is focused on collaborating with startups and established companies shaping the future of music and audio to ensure the most effective solutions for consumers. By developing Yamaha Creator Pass with key best-in-class partners, we aim to empower the next wave of audio innovators and creators and SXSW provides the right stage to bring it to life.”

Prices start at $14.99 per month with seven-day trials available for Beginner and Producer plans, and 14-day free trials available for the Podcaster plan. Beginner Complete and Podcaster Complete are only available in the US for a limited time and do not include free trials. Groover is also not included in the Producer Plus free trial.

Subscribers can choose from monthly or annual billing, and as a limited offer, creators who choose Beginner Complete and Podcaster Complete plans will receive a Yamaha AG01 USB Mic.

YMI will showcase Yamaha Creator Pass at SXSW from 13-15 March through an interactive studio experience. To find out more, head over to Yamaha Creators.
