UNIT/01 plugin with the Acid Lead patch loaded from the bank: its step-by-step explanation, the modular graph and four macros.
THE IDEA

AI as a teacher, not a shortcut.

A

No generated audio

The assistant writes patches. The synth makes every sound.

B

Every choice explained

Each module comes with its why, so the next patch can be yours.

C

You stay the author

The assistant proposes. You move the cables and decide.

HEAR IT

Start from an idea. Then push it.

Pick a request, then try its directions. Everything you hear is the synth playing a patch.

Ask the assistant ///////
HOW IT WORKS

Every patch comes with its why.

Click a module or a knob to read what it does and why. Then re-cable it, swap a module, build your own macro.

Explanation panel: “The low-pass filter shapes the brightness; it is what makes the brass”, with each setting explained.
The modular graph: envelopes in blue, oscillator in yellow, filter and VCA in red, effects chain below.

A mono bass synth for psytrance. Clean mono sub, dirty highs, and a roll generator that writes the gallop for you.

Be first to patch it.

Early builds and launch pricing. One email when it's ready.

Questions

Is the AI making music for me?

No. It never generates audio. It proposes a starting patch and explains it; the synth makes the sound and you decide what to do with it.

I've never touched a modular synth. Is it for me?

Yes. Start from a sound you like, read why it works, change one thing, hear the difference. The assistant is there when you're stuck.

When and how much?
