Glyph
Touch-first drawing instrument. Sketch strokes into a 2D plane with your fingers; per-lane playheads sweep through them and turn the drawing into music — pitch from where you drew, timing from where the sweep crosses, all snapped to scale. The drawing IS the score.
4 lanes / 5 brushes / DUAL·ORBIT·TRACE reading / plane warps / pluck+body engine / MIDI outDrawing
- Multi-touch parallel drawing — up to 4 fingers, one per lane
- 5 brushes: Pen, Calligraphy, Chord, Spray, Stipple — each plays differently
- Pinch-to-scale strokes; per-stroke arm / ghost / mute via the ARM tool
- Double-tap or sweep-erase to remove strokes
Reading & Warps
- 3 reading modes: DUAL (H+V sweeps), ORBIT (rotating ray), global TRACE
- Per-lane polyrhythm — independent sweep rate and quantize
- Non-destructive plane warps: mirror-H, mirror-V, continuous rotation
- 16 scales + bar-segmented scale sequencer, 11 tuning systems
Sound & Integration
- Built-in Karplus-Strong pluck convolved through a measured guitar body + reverb
- Live TONE controls: body mix, decay, brightness, reverb
- Per-lane MIDI out plus two CC streams per lane to modulate other gear
- SONG tab chains saved patterns into a host-synced song
Fingerbang
Touch-first melodic sequencer with a hexagonal keyboard. Touch hex cells to play notes — the sequencer captures your gestures and loops them, building layered polyrhythmic patterns from multitouch input. Touch, draw, release: the loop keeps playing what you drew.
4 lanes / Wicki-Hayden hex keyboard / 16 scales / 11 tuning systems / MIDI outPerformance
- Wicki-Hayden hex keyboard — every scale has the same shape
- Live gesture recording: touching the grid overwrites the steps under your fingers
- Draw a line across the grid to draw a melody across steps
- Multitouch — play and record several lanes at once
Sequencing
- 4 independent melody lanes with their own loop length, direction, and octave
- Lanes default to 16/12/8/7 steps — a polyrhythm out of the box
- Ratchets and speed multipliers per lane
- 16 scales + bar-chained scale sequencer, 11 tuning systems
Integration
- MIDI-only instrument — route each lane to any hardware or software synth
- Per-lane MIDI channel assignment (1-4 by default)
- Follows host transport, or free-runs standalone with tap/drag BPM
- Preset browser with folders
Pendulum
A physics playground that plays itself — and lets you play the weather. Hang ropes from a rail; swinging orbs strum neighbouring ropes, collide, and tick at their swing extremes. Wind, gravity, and mass decide the timing; a scale timeline and pitch window decide what's possible. The music is found, not written.
12 ropes / 8 colour channels / string + chime synthesis / tube-resonator body / MIDI outPhysics
- Pull ropes from the rail — length maps to pitch, orbs are plectrums
- Wind, gravity, mass, and collisions drive the performance
- Grab, fling, resize, and tear ropes live while it keeps playing
- Orb-orb collisions strike two-note impacts
Sound
- Internal string + chime synthesis through a tube-resonator body
- MATERIAL morph sweeps the engine from harp to windchime
- 8 factory presets from Porch Chimes to Storm Harp
- Soft ticks at swing extremes for gentle pulse textures
Control
- Scale timeline and pitch-window RANGE shape what the physics can play
- Optional quantize snaps events to the host grid
- MIDI out across 8 colour channels
- Preset save/restore
Launchpad
Touch-first sampler and step sequencer built around the Novation Launchpad Mini MK3. Four colour-coded banks, 64 pads, auto-slicing loops, per-pad one-shots, and live audio recording. It plays great on the hardware and just as well on screen.
4 banks / 64 pads / LoopSlice + Individual modes / 128-step sequencer / audio captureSampling
- LoopSlice mode splits one file across 16 pads — equal division or transient detection
- Individual mode loads a different one-shot per pad
- 60 seconds of live audio input capture, bar-synced or one-shot
- Built-in sample library browser
Sequencing
- A step sequencer per bank — up to 128 steps
- Speed multipliers from 0.25x to 2x per bank
- Quantized or free (raw-time) recording modes
