A visual canvas to automate every parameter in your Ableton rack - at once. Draw, mutate, and shape sounds you've never heard from instruments you already own. One click. Straight into your clip. Done.
Press one button
Push your instruments to the edge. One click injects dozens of unique automation curves across your rack. Click again. And again. In under a minute you've got 32 bars of pure chaos written across every parameter.
One click. Every lane filled.
Stamps multi-layer wave noise onto every unlocked parameter in your rack. Smooth, organic, never the same twice.
Good for · dense evolving textures, ambient pads, slow-motion sound design - everything moving with zero drawing.
Gnarly. Random. Musical.
Random shape chunks - dotted ramps, hard chops, hyper-stutters, syncopated drops - across every unlocked lane. Wildly varied, never static.
Good for · neuro & DnB bass, dubstep wobbles, aggressive design where chaos still locks to the grid.
Mirrored motion. Coherent rack.
Pairs every two lanes - base plus a value-flipped mirror - so the rack folds in on itself. Half Neuro pairs, half Chaos pairs, one click.
Good for · macro modulation in opposition: filter opens / resonance drops, drive up / volume down. Instant coherence.
Polyrhythmic stepped motion.
Per-lane stepped-random staircase. Each lane rolls its own rate - straight and triplet, down to 1/32 - so 1/4 against 1/8T locks into 4-against-3.
Good for · glitchy stepped textures, sequenced modulation, rhythmic motion without drawing a step.
Variations on demand
Get multiple variations from the same synth/instrument rack instantly, with just a few clicks.
Chaos, Neuro, Reflector, S&H - same rack, four totally different directions. Roll through them in seconds.

Found a curve you love? Hit Mutate to reroll it, or Prism to spin siblings across every other lane - anchors locked.
Three steps. Zero friction.
