Features

8-Track Sequencer

Compose with clips, sequences, and song arrangements. 256 clips with 16 steps each, chainable into full songs across 8 independent tracks. Classic tracker workflow, built for touch.

21 Looms Engines

Powered by Mutable Instruments Plaits. Virtual analog, FM, granular, wavetable, physical modeling, drum synthesis, and more. Shape each voice with harmonics, timbre, and morph controls.

Sample Playback

Import your own samples in WAV, AIF, MP3, M4A, and CAF formats. 9 playback modes (forward, reverse, loop, ping-pong, oscillator), sample slicing, pitch shifting, crossfade looping, and degradation. Built-in waveform editor with visual slice markers.

MIDI Output

Route tracks to external hardware synths and virtual instruments via MIDI. Per-instrument channel selection with support for both hardware and virtual MIDI destinations.

SB-303 Acid Synth

A dedicated acid bass synth inspired by the Roland TB-303. Saw/square waveform blending, resonant 18dB diode ladder filter, per-step accent and slide, envelope modulation depth, and output distortion. Designed for squelchy acid basslines.

Vintage Filters

Seven filter types including MS-20, Oberheim SEM, and Moog Ladder emulations alongside standard LP, HP, BP, and notch. Each with cutoff, resonance, and dedicated filter envelope.

Deep Modulation

Four modulation slots per instrument with six source types: AHD, ADSR, LFO (6 shapes), Tracking, Drum Envelope, and Trig Envelope. Cross-modulation lets modulators affect each other's rate and amount for complex evolving sounds.

23 Step Effects

Three effect slots per step. Volume, panning, filter sweeps, retrigger, arpeggio, pitch bend, note cut, delay/reverb sends, sample offset, note delay, master volume, per-track volume automation, accent, and more.

Global Effects

Stereo ping-pong delay with independent L/R timing, shimmer reverb with octave-up pitch feedback, plus stereo chorus, phaser, and flanger. Per-track send levels and inter-effect routing.

Per-Track Mixer

Full mixer with master volume fader, per-track volume, stereo panning, mute, and solo. Independent send levels for delay, reverb, and modulation effects. EQ bank pickers on every effect return and master output. Built-in master limiter for clipping protection.

3-Band Parametric EQ

128 shared EQ bank slots with 3 bands each (LOW/MID/HIGH). Per-band gain, frequency, Q, and 7 filter types. Assignable to any instrument, effect return, or master output. Canvas-drawn frequency response curves.

Instrument Presets

Save any instrument configuration as a preset and load it across multiple projects. Build your own library of synth patches, sample kits, and MIDI setups.

🎶

Global Scale System

Set a global musical scale to constrain all notes. 10 modes including Major, Minor, Pentatonic, Blues, Dorian, and more. Scale-aware note picker, scrubbing, arpeggiator, and live transpose quantization.

Euclidean Rhythms

Generate evenly-distributed rhythmic patterns with Bjorklund's Euclidean algorithm. Interactive ring visualizer with drag knobs for steps, hits, and rotation. Mute or add individual hits for custom variations. Patterns auto-bake into clip steps for seamless editing.

Undo & Redo

Snapshot-based undo and redo for pattern editing. Experiment freely and roll back any changes instantly from the transport bar.

📥

Audio Export

Export your songs and individual clips to WAV or M4A. Offline rendering captures the full mix with all effects, then share via AirDrop, Files, or any iOS share target.
