Gravity
A tiny solar system that plays piano. Fling orbs into the plane, drag the gravity well around, and every wall they hit lands in key. You set the conditions. The physics does the playing.
4 orbs / 16 scales / 8 plane shapes / 11 tuning systems / MIDI + OSC outdesktop

Sound
- 4 physics orbs with independent pitch and MIDI channel
- 16 musical scales (Major, Dorian, Pentatonic, Blues...)
- 11 tuning systems (maqam, shruti, just intonation, 12-TET...)
- 16-voice pluck engine + reverb
- Note quantization from 1/32 to 1/2
Physics & Visuals
- Central mass attractor with clock-synced gravity pulse
- 8 selectable plane shapes (rectangle, circle, star...) that reshape bounces and pitch mapping
- Orb-orb collisions trigger notes
- OpenGL 3D geodesic wireframe with bloom
- 8 color themes (CVD-friendly)
Integration
- MIDI output with per-orb channel routing
- CC output for orb position data
- OSC output for VJ rigs — orb hits and continuous XY, remappable addresses
- Silent Mode: audio engine off, MIDI and OSC keep playing
- Scale sequencer for harmonic progressions
- Full preset save/restore

Squares
The sequencer with no piano roll. Paint rectangles on a canvas: where one sits is when and what it plays, its size is how long and how loud. Four colors, four voices, and each color loops at its own length, so the pattern never quite repeats.
4 color channels / granular sampler / fractal visuals / DAW tempo syncSound
- Plucked-string voice with selectable instrument bodies (violin, viola, cello, double bass — or load your own)
- Granular sampler per color: 3 playback modes, folder browser with audition
- 16 musical scales, custom scales, and 11 tuning systems
- Per-color pitch sequencers for polyrhythmic patterns
Sequencing
- 4 color channels with per-color mute and solo
- Per-color loop lengths from 1-64 bars
- 4 play modes: Forward, Backward, Pendulum, Probability
- Scale sequencer chains up to 16 segments
Performance
- Reactive wireframe and bloom background visuals
- Always-on MIDI out plus tight DAW tempo sync
- Pinch zoom, eyedropper, and drag editing under your fingers
- Freely resizable window, fullscreen standalone
Violince
Your finger is the bow. Six voicings from violin to double bass. Where you touch is the note, how fast you move is the stroke, and it squeaks if you lean on it. The loopers record the gesture rather than the sound, so a phrase you played on the cello can be replayed on the bass.
6 voicings / 4 gesture loops / 15 strings at once / MIDI outSound
- Bowed-string synthesis with real instrument-body resonance
- 6 instrument voicings (violin, viola, cello, bass)
- Vibrato LFO, pizzicato, and slide/portamento
- Organic imperfections: pitch drift, rosin crunch, sympathetic resonance
Performance
- Continuous X/Y touch surface with motion trail
- 4 tape loop recorders (audio + event modes)
- 10 scales with configurable root and pitch grid
- Built-in reverb with room size control
Integration
- MIDI out: notes, CC1 bow speed, CC11 expression, pitch bend
- DAW BPM/time signature sync for loopers
- GPU-accelerated particle visualizations
- 6 factory presets + user preset system
in the lab
built and playable, not finished. no dates. specs and manuals return when each one is close.
Intellectualist
drum machine for handsFive channels of drums, a hex keyboard for melodies, and two XY pads of effects. Made to be played live, with fingers, without looking down.
Glyph
drawing instrumentInk is the score. Draw strokes and beams of light read them back as notes, so the audience sees every note the moment they hear it.
Fingerbang
hex keyboard looperA honeycomb keyboard bolted to four loopers. Four melodies at four different lengths, drifting in and out of phase.
Pendulum
physics playgroundHang ropes from a rail and let the orbs swing, strum, and collide. Wind, gravity, and mass decide the timing. The music is found, not written.
Launchpad
grid samplerA performance sampler wearing an 8×8 grid, built around the Novation Launchpad Mini MK3. Four banks, 64 pads, loops that slice themselves.
HarleyQuinn-Pitcher
voice processorAutotune, vocoder, and saturation on five pads where the knobs should be. One pitch pad and four macros run the whole chain.
Gloop
fluid instrumentPress, knead, and smear a thick fluid with your fingers. The terrain you leave behind is what the melody has to cross, and it slowly flows back while you watch.
Terrarium
world synthesizerA small world that never stops sounding. Wind, rain, insects, water, and a horizon, scrolling toward you on a timeline you can grab and drag.
