Arrange

A timeline that stays out of your way

Colour-coded tracks, clips that show their own notes, section markers, and the mixer one glance away. The piano roll reads the key and chords for you.

  • Draw, select, move and slice tools with grid snap
  • Glue phrases, fix all scores, match key, duck
  • Quantize, humanize and octave tools in the piano roll

Sound design

Synths drawn in the Ling Design System

Every parameter is a knob in a labelled section: sources, filter, additive, FM and string. Six instruments, patch files, A/B compare, and a local AI that derives a similar sound from the one you have.

  • Prism, Growl, Synth X, Membrane, Voice and Pluck
  • Preset browser, load and save patches
  • Right-click any knob to automate it

Mix & effects

22 effects, and every one has a dry/wet

Build a chain per track from the effect browser. Bypass, reorder, set the dry/wet of any effect and draw automation for it. The new Articulator combines a filter, motion and a 16-step gate.

  • EQ, compressor, delay, reverb, chorus, vocoder, OTT, imager, comb, flanger and more
  • Dry/wet per effect, automatable from the knob menu
  • Articulator: filter, motion, step gate and articulation, with trance presets

Compose with AI

A co-writer that runs on your machine

Describe what you want and write it into the clip, fix a part, restyle it, ask for a pattern or get the chords that work next - with a local Qwen model, so nothing leaves your computer.

  • Write, Fix, Style, Pattern and Harmony tabs
  • Chords that work next, from the key and the last bar
  • AI mix and master
ComposeThe Compose panel: write from text, and chords that work next.

Routing

Your whole project as a wheel

The node editor draws tracks, effects, sends and sidechains as a patch bay. Drag a port to route or duck; drag a node to rearrange; wheel to zoom.

  • Sends and sidechains in one view
  • Every track and effect is a node
  • Ducking wired from the kick in two drags

Perform

Launch scenes, or step through a tracker

A session launcher with scenes and per-track clip slots and launch quantize, and a tracker with four fonts, hex mode and follow - both read the same project as the arranger.

  • Scenes, quantize from none to 4 bars, Song Play or Session Only
  • Tracker with order list, patterns and hex mode
  • Import tracker modules
