Record and shape.

Vocals, instruments, and takes, right in the arrangement. Trim, stretch, and bring your best moments together.

MonitoringTakesTime stretch

All tools
  • Select an input, arm and monitor the required track, and record against the metronome and project tempo.
  • Layer multiple takes while keeping the source material available so you can build the strongest performance.
  • Audition and edit audio fragments, add fades and Warp markers, and use Stretch, Loop, Vocal, Complex or Resample modes.
  • Input and output channel selection, driver and monitoring latency diagnostics, and audio device reconnection.

Notes, beats, ideas.

Draw melodies in the Piano Roll, build beats, or play a MIDI keyboard. Give your samples a voice of their own.

Piano RollMIDI GeneratorSequence / Slicer

All tools
  • Piano Roll with local ranges, repeats and MIDI Generator for previewing melodies and chords.
  • Sequence edits steps directly inside MIDI clips; Pattern Editor builds rhythms and opens each source’s rack.
  • Sampler works inside the rack; Slicer maps sample slices to MIDI pads and exports MIDI or WAV.
  • Draw vibrato directly in Piano Roll. Shape its depth and rate in the context of your MIDI phrase.

Every sound in place.

Shape the balance, effects, and automation. Export a finished mix or individual stems.

RackLFO / FollowerVU / LUFS

All tools
  • Mixer and horizontal rack with instruments, effect groups, Mix, sends and device reordering.
  • LFO and Envelope Follower modulate parameters; automation can be retargeted and shaped over a selected range.
  • A separate master panel shows VU, LUFS, RMS and correlation. Export the full mix or stems.
  • Custom Glass materials for dark and light themes, a live preview and opaque surfaces with Reduce transparency.
  • Route additional instrument outputs to child tracks and separate mixer channels for independent mixing.

ARA 2

  2. 2ARA editor
  3. 3Track effects
Audio clips → ARA editor → Track effects

ARA 2 support.

Open track audio in compatible VST3 editors without a manual transfer. Corrections remain part of your project.

ARA 2VST3Local projects

All tools
  • One ARA editor is pinned before the regular effects chain on a mono or stereo track.
  • Bypass restores the original audio; committing creates a separate processed version.
  • Corrections are saved with the project; ordinary VST3 loading remains available.
  • This is an early integration: compatibility depends on the plugin. RX 11 has not passed playback validation; the complete edit, save, and export workflow with commercial editors is still being qualified.
How it works

Brush & lassoSoft edgesA/B

All tools
  • Rectangle, brush, and lasso selection, with additive and subtractive regions.
  • Gain, erase, and fades with feathered boundaries.
  • Audition the selected signal or remainder, compare with the original, and use Undo / Redo.

A new timbre from a sample.

Load a short sound into Mutation and transform its spectral structure generation by generation. Play over MIDI while the next variation is prepared.

MutationMIDIAHDSR

All tools
  • Time, speed, and mutation-strength controls, pitch preservation, and return to the original.
  • Sustain and one-shot modes with an Attack / Hold / Decay / Sustain / Release envelope.
  • Sound and state are saved with the project; reopening does not require the source file.
  • Drop a WAV, AIFF, FLAC, or MP3 onto the microscope and undo changes.

Audio in your hands.

A dedicated clip editor brings together sample playback, editing, Warp and processing. Shape the sound while keeping its place in the arrangement.

WarpFadesClip FX

All tools
  • Trim, split, move, copy and duplicate clips on a shared timeline.
  • Set sample boundaries, fades, loops, gain, pan, pitch and formants in the clip editor.

One sample. Many ideas.

Play a recording as an instrument, spread a loop across pads and build a beat in the step sequencer.

SamplerSlicerPattern

All tools
  • Open Sampler in the rack or a separate editor: playback range, loops, fades, pitch and time stretching.
  • Slide / Legato connects notes for smooth pitch transitions.
  • Slicer maps audio slices to MIDI pads and exports MIDI or WAV.
  • Build drum parts in Pattern Editor; edit steps within a MIDI clip using Sequence.
  • Browser previews, quick import and tempo detection help you find and prepare sounds.
  • Load a short sound into Mutation and transform its spectral structure generation by generation. Play over MIDI while the next variation is prepared.

Effect controls in the rack

Let your sound move.

Add an LFO or Envelope Follower to the rack and send its movement to instrument or effect parameters.

LFOEnvelope FollowerRouting

All tools
  • Sine, triangle, saw and square LFO shapes; rates in hertz or synced to tempo, phase and smoothing.
  • Envelope Follower responds to its own input or another track with sensitivity, attack, release and detector filters.
  • Press Assign and choose a knob; use the searchable Parameters list for external plugins.
  • Adjust depth, direction and response curves per connection. Multiple sources combine without overwriting the base value.
  • Routes are stored in local projects and chain presets. LFO rate and connection depth support automation.

CurvesParametersUndo

All tools
  • Automate instrument, effect and mixer parameters on the project timeline.
  • Edit points and curves, enter precise values and change a target or a selected region’s shape.
  • Rack modulation works around the base value; it does not record itself into automation.
  • Freeze temporarily renders a track to reduce processing load; unfreezing restores editing.
  • Bounce creates audio from selected material for further editing.
