Adaptive game music

Motif composition meets adaptation.

A composition-first workstation for authoring adaptive game soundtracks — clips, cues, scenes, layers, automation — with deterministic runtime logic.

What It Can Do

A serious creative instrument for adaptive game score authoring.

Compose

Clips with notes, multi-oscillator synth (unison/supersaw), sample instruments, LFO modulation, and intensity variants — structured music authoring, not random generation.

Score Worlds

Motif families, score profiles, cue families, world map entries, and derivation chains for game-wide musical coherence.

Mix and Effect

8 effect types (EQ, delay, reverb, compressor, chorus, distortion, phaser, limiter) with 4 insert FX slots per stem. MIDI import/export. 24/32-bit WAV rendering.

Studio to Runtime

Author in Studio, export for your game engine.

Adaptive Logic

Trigger bindings, transitions, and deterministic scene resolution — music responds to game state predictably.

1,116 Tests

Schema validation, synthesis, effects, MIDI, sample operations, world scoring, automation, library management — all tested.

Zero Network

Runs entirely in the browser. No server, no cloud sync, no telemetry. Your music stays local.
