Software

Firmwares and apps I build for hardware instruments, desktop and mobile — experimental tools for IDM, rhythmic noise, granular synthesis and electroacoustic music.

Hardware

Firmwares

Alternative firmwares and takeovers that turn instruments into something they were never sold as.

M-Vave FM-1

Tonitor

Acousmatic firmware for the M-Vave FM-1 — electroacoustic experimentation, live ambient and sound exploration. Deliberately not a groovebox.

Elektron Model:Cycles

Motor:Cycles

Generative rhythmic-noise / power-noise firmware — pounding kicks, abrasive textures and mechanical repetition, with generators that build kits, phrases and whole patterns from a single complexity control.

Elektron Digitone II

DigiRust

Experimental Digitone II firmware for IDM, rhythmic / power noise and electroacoustic music, applied through browser-local and macOS patchers using your own copy of the stock OS.

Ableton Move · bare metal

PoundHardArmbian edition

A 16-track groovebox for the Ableton Move running on bare-metal Armbian — Ableton's stack removed entirely, a mainline PREEMPT_RT kernel, native JACK and an appliance menu launched from the jogwheel.

Ableton Move · Schwung

PoundHardSchwung edition

The original 16-track Move takeover, running on top of Schwung — built for edgy IDM, rhythmic noise and percussion-centric experimental electronica.

Akai MPC One

Granola MPC

A five-voice granular instrument that boots the MPC One straight into Granola (stock Akai app disabled): grain clouds, nine LFOs per track, parameter-lock sequences and un-quantised gesture loops.

Ableton Move

Granola for Move

Eight-track granular synthesis for the Move, with a sample harvester that finds its own material and 154 Airwindows effects ported into assembled chains.

Desktop & mobile

Apps

Standalone software for the desktop and for mobile devices.

macOS

Granola

Eight-track granular synthesizer for macOS, built on SuperCollider and designed around the M-Vave SMC-Mixer and SMC-PAD Pocket controllers.

iOS · iPadOS · Android

VascularTactile Synth

A canvas-based electroacoustic instrument for phones and tablets: you place and connect synth voices with your fingers, and the graph you build is also the signal path. 56 generators, 72 processors, and an AUv3 on iOS.
