Instruments & Effects
A FAUST-powered FX bank (Filter, Compressor, Reverb, Saturator, Clipper, Mod and the rest), the 4OSC subtractive synth, the Drum Grid with per-pad plugin chains, plus an experimental Faust device for writing your own DSP. Full catalogue with screenshots and engine breakdowns.

AI Agents & DSL Console
AI agents that understand your session, generate commands in a built-in DSL, and design sounds directly on devices like the 4OSC. Cloud providers or local inference with llama.cpp — no API keys required.

Automation & MIDI Control
Drive any parameter: draw automation curves, record Write / Touch / Latch moves, or let the AI write them — and map hardware via controller profiles, MIDI Learn, and Lua scripting.

Media Library
An indexed, searchable sample library: filter by family, key, tempo, and tags, or describe a sound in plain language and let AI rank by similarity. Drag results straight in.

Parameter Customisation
Customise plugin parameters: hide the ones you don't use, give them proper units and ranges, or let the AI classify them for you. Learn mode finds any control by clicking it in the plugin's own window.

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

Arpeggiator & Step Sequencer
Two new MIDI devices: a full arpeggiator with pattern, rate, gate, swing and latch, and a self-driving step sequencer with step recording and AI prompt-to-pattern.

Time Bend & Groove
Reshape timing across the app. Time Bend redistributes notes along a curve; groove templates apply non-destructive feel. Both stack for phrase-level shaping.

Modulation & Macros
Modulate any parameter at sample rate with LFOs and bezier curve shapers at device, rack, or track scope. Macros and modulators can also drive other LFOs' rate.

Racks & Presets
Build complex signal chains with multi-chain FX racks — parallel and serial paths in one device. Save any device, or the whole track chain, as a MAGDA preset; existing .vstpreset and .aupreset libraries are scanned automatically.
