Sigilgraph Audioworkbench

Description

Sigilgraph Audioworkbench: Break the Grid. Unbind Your Sound.

Sigilgraph Audioworkbench is a non-linear modular DAW built for sonic exploration, sound design, and generative music composition. Move beyond the linear timeline and construct interactive audio environments on an open, visual canvas. Connect audio generators, MIDI logic, and modulation sources with virtual patch cables to create self-playing soundscapes, evolving drones, or custom instruments.

True Generative Freedom

In Sigil, there is no global clock enforced. You aren't tied to a master BPM unless you choose to sync your instruments with a Global Transport device. This open structure enables true generative composition—allowing you to build self-playing patches and texturing soundscapes that live, breathe, and interact without being quantized to an artificial grid.

Features

• Visual Cable-Based Patching: Connect audio signals, MIDI data, and control modulations dynamically on an infinite workspace canvas. Context menus guide users to put upfront the most useful devices per patching scenario. 

• Patches Within Patches: Group complex modular graphs, package them into reusable Composite Devices, and build custom modular chains without workspace clutter.

• Composer/Arranger Mode: Bridge the gap between modular chaos and traditional organization. Arrange piano roll notes, draw precise automation curves, and trigger audio clips along an opt-in timeline.

• The Generate-Capture-Reinvent Loop: Drop a Recorder/Player device anywhere in your signal chain to record samples on the fly, then immediately drop them back into a Slicer or Sampler to feed your generative machines.

• VST3 two-way support: Make your favorite VST3 modules part of your Sigilgraph patches. Also expose the entire Sigilgraph patches as VST hosted in other DAWs like Reaper or any other VST3 supporting DAW.

• Hi-Res sampling and rendering: from 44.1kHz/16bit to 96 kHz / 32 bit-float playback and recording. 

• Focused app:  The entire app runs like a game (it was implemented using a game engine), full screen (but can be optionally windowed) and offering an asset manager so you don't need to leave your app into your file system to manage your samples, loops and patches. 

A Rich Ecosystem of Devices

• Audio & Sample-Based Tools: FM synthesizers, Wavetable generators, noise machines, sample recorders, drum machines, and audio-slicers.

• MIDI & Note Logic: Piano rolls, scale quantizers, matrix arpeggiators, note delays, and chord devices.

• Modulation & Control: LFOs, step sequencers, clock dividers, and envelope followers to drive your graph with its own audio.

• Professional Audio FX: High-fidelity algorithmic reverbs, saturators, and spectral polishers to shape your sound.

• VST Host and Guest: Expand it endlessly with hosting VST3 devices and combine it with other devices. Use Sigilgraph's Matrix Arp to feed notes to the open-source Surge XT VST using the VST Host Device. Send your fine tuned effects and instruments into Reaper/Ardour/FL Studio or any VST3 compatible DAW using the VST Guest device.

  Sigilgraph will be your workbench or desktop for audio experiments and ideas!
