02 · Editors
Three editors, one timeline.
Notes, audio recordings, and drum patterns all live on the same<br>timeline. Double-click any clip to open the right editor for it.
Note editor<br>Write and edit notes.
Draw notes on a piano-style grid, choose how loud each one is,<br>and let the editor highlight the right scale. Type with your<br>computer keyboard if you don't have a piano controller.
Audio editor<br>Work with recordings.
Browse and preview audio files, drag them onto the timeline, then<br>trim, fade, or loop. You can even split a recording into separate<br>parts — like pulling vocals out of a song — onto their own tracks.
Beat editor<br>Make drum patterns.
Tap out drum patterns on a grid. Choose how loud each hit is and<br>where it sits in the speakers. Combine beats with melodies,<br>recordings, and the rest of your song.
03 · Racks<br>Chain anything, in any order.
Every track has a rack — a left-to-right<br>chain you fill with MIDI effects, an instrument, and audio effects. Drag<br>modules around to change the order. The signal flows through whatever<br>you put there.
Rack · Pad<br>6 modules<br>MIDI → INSTRUMENT → AUDIO FX → MASTER
01<br>MIDI effects<br>Shape the notes before the instrument hears them — arpeggiator, humanizer, transpose, randomize.
02<br>Instrument<br>Anything from the built-in twelve, or your own VST3 instruments.
03<br>Audio effects<br>Tone, dynamics, space, color — stack as many as you like, in any order.
Master / bus<br>Where the chain ends — the master rack runs on the full mix.
04 · Built-in instruments<br>Twelve instruments. Start playing now.
Open the browser, drag one onto a track, play. You get real<br>recordings of a piano, drums and orchestra, plus a set of synths<br>for original sounds — so you have something to play from minute one.
Synth<br>Terrain
A synth that builds its sound by tracing a path across a moving<br>3D landscape. Great for evolving, otherworldly tones.
Synth<br>Syna
A classic synth for leads, pads, basses and arpeggios.
Synth · atmosphere<br>Ambient
Slowly-evolving textures that never quite repeat. Perfect for backgrounds and atmosphere.
Drum machine<br>Analog Drums
Punchy electronic drum sounds — kick, snare, tom, hi-hat,<br>cymbals — generated from scratch instead of recordings.
Synth · voice<br>Robot
A synthetic voice that sings short phrases. Great for talk-box-style hooks.
Synth · vocal<br>Vocoder
Sing or talk into it and a built-in carrier turns your voice into a<br>playable, robotic instrument. Classic vocoder hooks and synth-choir<br>pads, with formant and band controls.
