The ultimate answer to audio tools.
Focus on the dsp kernel to design your sounds (or patterns, or even tracks) directly in your DAW. Write down your idea in the handy javascrpit. Akasha embeds V8 and offers high performance javascript execution.
Open the standalone version directly or open the vst3 version in your DAW.
The entry of the execution is function main(args), where args provides all the information you need for a single note hit.
input args:
| Default Name | Explanation |
|---|---|
| m0~m7 | Macro knobs' values in float |
| tempo | Current tempo in bpm provided by your DAW |
| beat | Current beat (the xxx th beat in float) provided by your DAW |
| sampleRate | Sample Rate in float |
| bufferLen | Advanced feature. Ignore it if you don't know. |
| bufferPos | Advanced feature. Ignore it if you don't know. |
| time | The time elapsed since your have pressed down the note |
| note | The midi ID of the note you just pressed. 0~127 |
| velocity | The velocity of the note you just pressed. 0.0~1.0 in float |
| justPressed | Whether this main call is the trigger frame of the note. 0 or 1 |
| justReleased | TODO feature |
return:
- Return a float value between -1~1 for mono sound.
- Return an array of float value between -1~1 for stereo or multi-channel sound.
function main(args) is called for each sample point at the sample rate. Other functions, classes, and global variables stay there, memorizing their states.
To compile your code, press shift + enter or defocus the editor.
Once your code is compiled, up to 16 notes can be pressed simutaneously, each with its own code context and isolated global variables.
Macro Knobs can be automatically controlled by your DAW.

- 🔥Support release sound by the setting "process window after releasing a note".
- 🔥MPE.
- 🔥Legato and glide.
- 🤓Inspector functions and their UI to track variables or arrays.
