Your first five minutes
Less setup.
More discovery.
Start with your speaker or headphone volume low. The trial gives you every module for seven days, with no account or card.
Find a sound you love
Open the factory patch library and try Frost Vent in Songlines, Spiral Governor in Rhythmic, or Aurora Shield in Atmospheric. These are useful starting points included with the app. The site also features Ron’s personal saved patches.
Make it your own
Right-click RANDOM to choose Melodic or Melodic + Rhythmic. Try REPATCH to change the connections, or REKNOB to explore new settings. Undo brings you back when an experiment goes too far.
Follow the signals
Keep Flow on Simple to see direction and activity. Try Detailed to inspect signals. ANIMATE lets the controls drift while you listen.
Keep the good ones
Use QUICK SAVE to keep a variation in My Patches. Your saved patches stay intact after the trial ends.
