VISUALSOUND
IN THE STUDIO
Patch sound.
Patch light.
VisualSound is a node-based audio-visual instrument. Sequence, synthesize and sculpt sound while the same patch drives generative visuals — cables under your fingers, everything in real time, on one canvas.
One of a kind on iPad
…and arriving on Mac, too.
Machines that earn their cables
A first look at just four of the modules in the rack — oscillators, filters, LFOs, envelopes, mixers, a full visual domain of generators and effects, and more, all patch on the same canvas.
A sequencer that writes with you
Euclidean rhythms, scale-locked pitch, weighted randomness and controlled evolution over bars. Set the rules, press play, and the pattern develops on its own — always in key, never twice the same.
A DSP language inside a node
Write per-sample DSP in Grain — a live-coding language created by Mike Gazzaruso for this instrument — and build truly complex custom nodes: tempo-synced tape echoes, reverbs, chorus and flanger networks, wavefolders, bit-crushers — hot-swapped while the patch keeps playing. Scripts are plain text: study them, remix them, share them.
A beat-locked glitch engine
Drop in any sample and it loops in tempo. Stutters, reverses, jumps and pitch dives roll on the musical grid under a single chaos control — surgical when you want it, feral when you don't. Transient slicing and note-in chopping included.
A complete drum machine
Eight pads, sixteen steps, accents, swing and per-step probability. Per-pad tuning, decay, filtering and reverse, an internal mixer with pre/post individual outs, sample import and a bank of classic kits — all in one node.
And these are only some of the machines — the full rack is waiting for you.
One graph
Audio and visuals are the same patch. An envelope can open a filter or flood the screen with light; a kick drum can strike a kaleidoscope. No bridges, no exports — one signal flow.
Built for touch
Designed natively for iPad: pull cables with your fingers, shape parameters with both hands, perform standing up. Runs standalone or as an AUv3 inside your DAW.
Deep, not complicated
Every module sounds — and moves — the moment it lands on the canvas. The depth is there when you reach for it, never in your way when you don't.
