Features

Session, Arrangement & Mixer

Clip-based session view for jamming, a timeline arrangement for full productions, and a mixer for balancing your tracks.

AI Agents & DSL Console

AI agents that understand your session and generate commands in a built-in DSL. Use the chat or type commands directly in the REPL. Cloud providers or local inference with llama.cpp — no API keys required.

Chord Engine

Real-time chord detection, key analysis, and context-aware suggestions — all embedded inside the piano roll. Generate progressions from text with the AI tab.

Modulation & Macros

Modulate any parameter at sample rate with LFOs and bezier curve shapers at the device, rack, or track level. Map multiple parameters to macro knobs.

FX Racks

Build complex signal chains with multi-chain FX racks. Route audio through parallel and serial processing paths.

Groove & Swing

Apply groove templates to MIDI clips from a categorised browser, or generate custom grooves with AI. Timing shifts apply in real time.

Hybrid Tracks

Every track handles both audio and MIDI. Record audio clips and MIDI patterns on the same track without switching modes.

Bounce, Freeze & Flatten

Bounce in place, bounce to new track, or freeze and flatten to free up CPU while keeping your workflow flexible.

Built-in Instruments & Effects

4OSC subtractive synth with internal mod matrix, drum grid with per-pad plugin chains, plus built-in EQ, compressor, reverb, delay, chorus, and distortion.
