Gravity
Physics-based melodic instrument. Fling orbs around a 2D plane where they bounce off walls and trigger notes mapped to musical scales. A draggable central mass creates gravitational pull for complex orbital melodic patterns.

Violince
Your finger is the bow. A physically modeled string with six voicings from violin to double bass — where you touch is the note, how fast you move is the stroke, and gesture loops record the choreography, not the sound.

Glyph
Ink is the score. Sketch strokes with your fingers and beams of light read them back as music — pitch from where you drew, timing from when the beam arrives, all snapped to scale. Mirror it, spin it, and the drawing composes.
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 pluck voice resonating through a real 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
A honeycomb keyboard bolted to four loopers. Touch hexes and the lanes record whatever your fingers do — four melodies at four different lengths, drifting in and out of phase like clockwork that took up jazz. Draw, release, layer.
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
A performance sampler wearing an 8×8 grid, 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

- OpenGL particle visuals that burst on transients
- Up to four simultaneous drags, one per bank
HarleyQuinn-Pitcher
A voice processor with five pads where the knobs should be: modern autotune, channel vocoder, and character saturation. One hero pitch pad and four macros run the whole chain, so your hands stay on the performance — and yes, it can sing what you type.
