Every instrument gets its own effects chain processed in a dedicated audio engine. A 16-channel mixer with real-time metering, and a deep parameter automation system that can animate any knob over time.
Each of the 80 instruments has a dedicated effects chain running in a high-performance audio engine. Effects are processed in a fixed order for consistent, predictable results.
Threshold, ratio, attack, release, and makeup gain controls. Sidechain input from any other instrument for ducking, pumping, and rhythmic dynamics effects.
Rate, depth, and dry/wet mix. Add width and movement to any sound with modulated delay lines.
Delay time, feedback, and wet mix with high-pass and low-cut filters. Ping-pong stereo mode and tempo sync for rhythmically locked echoes. Stereo spread control.
Room size, damping, wet mix, and low-cut filter. From tight rooms to vast halls, add spatial depth to any instrument.
Drive, tone, and wet mix. Add grit, warmth, or aggressive distortion to any sound in the chain.
Frequency and wet mix controls for metallic, bell-like, and inharmonic timbres.
Any instrument can be the sidechain source for any other instrument’s compressor. The source instrument’s peak level (pre-FX) drives the target’s compressor gain reduction. This enables classic sidechain ducking, pumping bass lines, and rhythmic dynamics effects. Sidechain references automatically update when you reorder or delete instruments.
A full mixer view with one channel per instrument in the current group.
Volume fader, pan knob, mute (M), and solo (S) per channel. Real-time level metering shows peak levels for both left and right channels.
Desktop shows all 16 channels. Tablet and mobile switch to bank view (8 channels at a time). Channel headers support long-press drag for instrument reordering.
Over 60 parameters can be automated per instrument. Automation is stored per-pattern and applies to all playing instruments during playback — not just the one you’re currently viewing.
Enter Automation pad mode, click any knob to select it, then drag the pads horizontally to set values per step. Automation points are connected with smooth linear interpolation.
Only explicit automation points are stored, not values for every step. This keeps projects lean while interpolation fills in the gaps during playback.
Set automation to apply every Nth loop (1–8). On “off” loops, the parameter reverts to its default value. Create evolving patterns that change over time.
Mute individual automation lanes without deleting them. The parameter snaps back to its default value when muted. Toggle mute from the SETUP view or the knob overlay.
Drag a knob during playback and automation is temporarily bypassed for that parameter. When you release, automation resumes. Your manual tweak updates the base value.
A scrollable list of all automated parameters in the current pattern. Edit, mute, or delete automation for any parameter. Click edit to jump directly to the relevant panel and knob.
Every knob across the synth, sampler, LFO, and effects panels can be automated. This includes oscillator controls (wavetable position, pulse width, detune, unison), filter parameters (cutoff, resonance, envelope depth), all ADSR envelopes, LFO rates and depths, granular controls, and every effect parameter from delay time to compressor threshold.
A full undo/redo system tracks all editing operations including note placement, automation changes, pattern operations, and section property edits. Use keyboard shortcuts (Cmd/Ctrl+Z) or the UI buttons to step through your edit history.
