v0.2.0Sound Designer is a modular sound design workstation for producers, synthesists, and audio post-production engineers who want deep control without deep menus. Designed for intuitive operation by professionals and beginners alike. Stack unlimited independent layers, each with its own module chain, and route audio between them — no patching cables, no dead ends.

Unlimited Ways to Make Sound
Virtual analogue, wavetable, FM, additive, formant, physical modelling, sub bass, noise, granular, multi-sampler, and more... Each one is a complete instrument on its own. Layer them, sequence them, modulate them. Intuitive UI exposes powerful capabilities and visual feedback in each module. The Wavetable has powerful 8-voice unison and real-time frame drawing. The granular engine tears samples apart with 64 simultaneous grains. The sampler handles velocity layers, key zones, loop modes, and real-time time-stretching. Start shallow. Go as deep as you want.
Modular Without the Spaghetti
Every layer is a horizontal chain of modules — drop in a generator, stack effects after it, add a sequencer, wire up modulation. Drag to reorder the chain. Move modules between layers. The signal flow is always visible and always left-to-right. Interactive module display show you how each change shapes the signal in real time. Under the hood, a powerful modulation and automation bus and full MPE support let you route expression data to any parameter on any module, with per-target depth and mode. You get the power of modular without ever losing sight of what's connected to what. And you're only limited by your hardware.
40+ Modules, Zero Filler
Reverb, convolution, delay, distortion, parametric EQ, chorus, phaser/flanger, bitcrusher, ring mod, pitch shifting, granular time-stretcher, harmonic exciter, compressor, gate, limiter and more. Our DSP Algorithms have been obsessively refined over decades of research, experimentation and real use. On the sequencing side: step sequencer, arpeggiator, euclidean rhythm generator, chordify, scale quantizer, and more. Every module earns its slot.
Learn Sound Design by Doing It
Sound Designer ships with embedded guides on all modules and their parameters, as well as guides on synthesis fundamentals, modulation routing, sound design techniques, and advanced techniques — all inside the plugin, using the actual modules. Tweak a parameter, hear what it does, understand why. Whether you're picking up subtractive synthesis for the first time or exploring new territory modulating bitcrushed grains with an envelope follower, the tutorials meet you where you are and build from there.
Built for Your Workflow
VST3, AU, and Standalone on macOS and Windows. Patches are self-contained — samples, zone mappings, and all module state travel together. Make presets of modules, layers, or a whole multi-layer patch. Your sounds are portable and your sessions stay clean.
