Build your ownmusic machine.
Music software makes you pick a lane. This one doesn't. Wire it yourself: musical ideas on one kind of cable, sound on another, every module drawing what it's doing.
Here's one.It works.
Press play. Drag the cards around. Tap a socket, then another, to move a cable. Pull a cable out and put it somewhere else, including somewhere it doesn't belong. Everything you hear is being made right now, in this tab, by the seven cards below.
Drag a cable from a filled socket to a hollow one.
Every module drawswhat it's doing.
Each card carries one thin-line drawing made from its own real state. The filter draws its actual curve, the delay its actual echoes. Move a control and the drawing moves, because the drawing is the sound. The icons below say hello when you hover them.
It finishesa song.
Three arrangements, bounced from the app, drawn from their own files. Press play and the line goes over the bars.
Three minutesto a first patch.
Short episodes, one idea each, straight from the app. Start here, and the rest are on the channel.
Made by one person,at one desk.
I'm Edo. I've loved making music for as long as I can remember, on brass as a kid, on synths these days, mostly playing around in DAWs. None of them ever quite matched how my head works. Nodes do. So I'm building the one that does.
Answeredin advance.
What does Klankbaan mean?
Roughly "sound lane". Klank is Dutch for sound, baan is a lane, a track, a path.
How much is it?
The beta is free. The price after that is still being decided, and the list hears it first.
What do I need?
A Mac, and something to listen on. A MIDI keyboard helps, nothing insists.
Windows?
On the list, planned for mid 2027. The Mac version gets solid first.
Does it work with my DAW?
From the outside: MIDI in, MIDI out, stems you can drop into anything. It is not a plugin.
Is there AI in it?
No generative audio model. Every sound comes from the patch. There is a door an assistant can use to turn knobs, closed until you open it.
Is it finished?
No. It is a beta. It crashes less than it used to, and when it does, it says so.
Who made it?
One person, in Amsterdam, in the evenings. See above.
Ask forthe beta.
It's free, and it's for macOS. Invites go out in batches as the app firms up. Windows is on the list, and saying so below is how you get counted.
