- Worth noticing
- A 32-partial additive synth sits in a device graph, while spectral layers can be hidden without changing the mix.
Field notes
The described canvas separates the drawn performance from the resulting sound: notes and bends remain editable over a spectrogram, whose rendering can update asynchronously. Sound brushes can recall a track’s synth, effects chain, and playing response. In the session view, clips can be launched individually or together as scenes at musical boundaries; the page says arrangement recording can capture a performance as it is built.
