The unchained Music/Video Workstation.
Unparalleled freedom to compose from the relationships between notes, not a fixed grid of pitches. Draw any ratio into the music. Move a root, rewrite a chord, or reshape a progression, and the harmony stays alive. Then record, arrange, mix, and cut the video in the same project.

Composition, unchained.
Write with MIDI or recorded audio. Use clips or keep the piano roll freeform. Tune by familiar scales or exact ratios. Add your own instruments, then cut the video on the same beat grid. Turn on only the add-ons you use.
01MIDI EditorA note can belong to another note by a 3:2, 5:4, 7:4, or any ratio you draw. Change the root or rewrite the harmony and the relationships resolve with the piece. This is composition with a living harmonic graph, not cent adjustment after the notes are written.↗02InstrumentsLoad OP-7, Sybil-16, SoundFonts, SFZ libraries, or your own VST3 and CLAP plug-ins. Then route audio, MIDI, and modulation across the session without leaving the project.↗03DAWArrange audio and MIDI on the same tracks, host your own plug-ins, patch signals across the session, and automate the mix. A recording can stay a clip, split into stems, or become pitch-aware notes tied to the harmony.↗04VideoPlace video beside the arrangement, cut on beats, retime clips when the tempo changes, and drive visual parameters from notes or audio.↗
