Early Preview · Kiwisonic, Kiwisynth, Kiwipulse and Kiwibass are free during early preview. Their shape is still being figured out, and feedback is what drives them forward.

Four tools that work before you have learned them, and do not run out of depth once you have.

Compose, synthesize, design drums and bass

Take one, or use them all. Nothing here needs the others to be worth having.

The Kiwisonic melody sequencer Melody sequencer

Kiwisonic

Write a song without stopping to look things up. The piano roll knows the key, the chord pad shows what fits next, and the whole song is planned against one energy curve, so the chorus arrives bigger than the verse before it. A desktop app: nothing else to buy first.

The Kiwisynth wavetable synthesizer Wavetable synth

Kiwisynth

A synth that is already moving before you patch anything. Every note gets warmth and a bloom that fills out while it is held, so movement is where you start rather than what you build. Underneath sits a scripting language that reads the chord under your fingers and answers in the right notes.

The Kiwipulse drum designer on the Bench Drum designer

Kiwipulse

Drums where no two hits have to be the same. Any parameter can be locked to a single step, including what strikes and what rings, so step 13 gets a rod instead of a beater and it is still the same drum. Nothing is set by a fader and a number: you draw the sound.

The Kiwibass editor with the Arc tab open Bass instrument

Kiwibass

A bass you design as a phrase rather than a note. Draw how the sound opens and closes across up to sixteen bars, and a wander keeps each pass from repeating the last while a bounce still matches what you heard. The sub underneath stays mono, whatever you do above it.

Together

Use one, or run the whole workshop

Kiwisynth, Kiwipulse and Kiwibass are plugins that behave like plugins, and Kiwisonic is a complete desktop app on its own. What they share is that they were designed in the same workshop, so they meet cleanly.

Inside Kiwisonic

Kiwisynth is bundled, so there is a full synthesizer ready the moment you launch, and the tracks you write can be voiced without installing anything. Kiwisonic also loads SFZ instruments and VST3 and CLAP plugins, which is where Kiwipulse goes when you want your drums designed rather than picked from a list.

Inside your DAW

Kiwisynth runs as VST3 and CLAP; Kiwipulse is a CLAP plugin with a standalone app of its own. Your host keeps the beat and the arrangement, which is deliberate: Kiwipulse designs the sound of a kit and leaves the sequencing to the tool you already know. Kiwibass runs as a CLAP plugin too, with its sounds and basslines drawn in its own standalone editor and carried over as patches and MIDI.
