Music Software

Nothing is hidden behind a preset

We make music software — two instruments. Grainstorm is a four-track granular sampler that gives every grain its own effects. Voltaic is a wavetable and virtual analog synth whose wavefolding never aliases. Both are on Android today, with iOS, Windows and macOS — standalone and plugin — on the way.

Grainstorm
Four-Track Granular Sampler

A comprehensive tool for sound design, sampling and granular synthesis. Granulate a sample in real time and give every grain its own effects, including spectral manipulation and live cross-synthesis between two tracks. Then run the finished track into a vast selection of effects.

Wavetable & Virtual Analog Synth

A wavetable on three axes: 27 tables, a continuous morph axis, a warp axis on top, and a pitch axis that band-limits every one of them — so even the wavefolding is alias-free and still modulatable. Then a modal resonator bank, and eighteen filters — ladder, SEM and 303 models among them.

Sampling, granular synthesis and sound design, grain by grain

  • — Four tracks, full sample editing on each — cut, paste, fades, all undoable.
  • — Thirty-seven effects per track, from EQ and dynamics to spectral delay, convolution and modal resonators.
  • — Two tracks merged into one, live, by nine cross-synthesis algorithms — with no latency at all — or by the 28-band channel vocoder, or LPC.

Alias-free folding you can still modulate

  • — Three oscillators — sine to wavetable to a struck modal resonator, nothing reserved for the sub.
  • — 27 wavetables, a continuous morph, eleven warps, and a pitch axis that band-limits every combination.
  • — Eighteen filters — ladder, SEM and 303 models among them — with four envelopes, two LFOs, and polyphonic aftertouch.

Straight out of the engine — factory presets, no external effects:

Folding Dawn — the FOLD warp moving under envelopes
Acid Squelch — the 303 filter, velocity opening it
Twin Supersaw — stacked unison chords
