Try Sunvox, it's even easier to use. Not open source, but free (at least for desktop and obscure platforms like Windows CE and PalmOS, mobile ports are paid).
Been using it for a while, the fact that can host Vst's makes it really powerfull, and it's pretty performant. The workflow is intuitive yet different from standard modular synths or daws such as Voltage Modular and VCV Rack. Is more straight forward. Also the discord community is very kind and helpful. I'm still discovering new things but this is powerfull, and really interesting to play with, i don't even notice and then suddenly i've spent hours just crafting the perfect sequence. Also if You don't know music theory all of the note generators can quantize to a certain scale so is pretty much a no brainer. I don't know if can output MIDI and cc but You can connect any MIDI controller into it. This and midinous are my more anticipated and favourite music software of this month
This program looks amazing and even for someone like me who is not into synths themselves but love the synth along with EDM type music I'd grab this. Although I will not be grabbing this program up until I can get the "Pro Version" next month. Something in size and scope liek this deserves it in my opinion and is not too much to ask. Hell, the fact all versions are the same is awesome! But, as a personal choice I want to do the $15 "Pro Version" to support such a wonderful program. I can play with these things for hours and sometimes get a little something good out of them if it's just a small sample that gets used later or by my friend who is really good at this stuff.
It's' like if synthesizers are gaming consoles, Bespoke is a PC! ... within a PC! I might just slowly sell my gear taking up a TON of space as i master this. Really interesting!
Absolutely stunning, the developer is a freaking maniac! Please support him if you use it. Really cool stuff, python support makes it to so usable. I've played a little and idk what to say, it's a dream.
This is the best thing I've ever seen from the actual software to the presentation and sale pitch :))) Will get the Ultimate Pro Über version. Good times
20 or so years ago, there was a very similar piece of software called Jeskola Buzz, designed by Arguru. It was more of a tracker. There's also a similar piece of software called Sunvox.
im still using jeskola up to this days... amazing software ... it's got some unique features such as live recording....a feature that renoise 3 still lacks
Following the install of this program my sound was screwed up from changes made by the installer. I was able to fix it but be cautious during the install and read EVERY dialogue box carefully. I appreciate your videos Mike.
I love the node-based stuff! But definitely needs some sort of timeline or sequence of playlists for it to be actually useful. Also, seems to work only under Debian-based Linux distros.
I knew it! You are a silent Techno music creator too! (with some grunge thrown in!) :) btw I saw your live interview and man you look a super cool dude!
@@piousthepious looking good. My notes: It supports VST 1 2 and 3. It tries to guess where they are in settings. But you'll need to manually configure. It's not too hard. Second note. It's potential as software. This is the most crucial factor. *If a feature is added to use MIDI data for on/off toggles for nodes, this program is limitless, as you will be able to turn any MIDI sequence into your own makeshift timeline. Bespoke fulfills an ideal I have for miniature programming that's still powerful. With that, and a few other fixes, you can do whatever you want with nodes.*
ngl, thinking of music in code makes sense. That's essentially every sequencer in existence, you're just forced to view that data in a timeline. I like this approach a ton.
So, Unreal Engine 5 MetaSounds? It looks like Blueprints! But I really like the visual representations inside the nodes, definitely better than straight text
FL Studio has a built in version of something something similar to this called Patcher. It even has some basic logic programming with If and IF-Else gates and random number generator. You can even use Patcher as a node within Patcher (i.e. use a previously made Patcher project as a node in another Patcher project for "code" reusability). It also has a UI creator so you can create a MIDI controllable UI to drive your custom Patcher instrument.
Looks like it's more VCV than a DAW but does look a tad less finicky to set up sounds as you don't have to worry about individual gates and voltages and such. And uf I can get it to run on my Surface Pro it would make it infinitely more useful than VCV.
Thank you for letting us know about this. Do you know of something like this for sounds, including sound effects, to add to an animation. Hard to find good one's that are free to use commercially.
I do have a question for this one Mike, does it allow you to change modules or settings after it has been saved and after the modules have been deleted.
I've played with different music creation software from time to time, and I've learned that I am actually amazing at creating sweet music, even though I have no musical training at all. Nah, just kidding. I suck! Software like this is probably great for musicians, but it doesn't magically make me able to create anything that is worth listening to. Blender, on the other hand! That is more my thing!
I have always wanted something like this, and it is super fun to experiment around with! But I am having really weird bugs that are making it unusable, manly ever minute after opening or so, it stops registering my clicks (even on the X!). It still knows where my mouse is, just not when i click (with any mouse button). I have restarted it numerous times and even reinstalled it once, but still: does not work. I am using windows 10, idk what i did to make it not work, but if you have an idea pls help me i really want to try it out better.
you had me at mostly free. I've tried Pro Tools, Cakewalk, and Ardour. All of their UI's are absolute crap. LMMS was ok, but the lack of VST3 support lost me. I have yet to find an actually good DAW with full VST1-3 compatability.
@@AyJayOlly wanting to stay with free. I know the joke with reaper is essentially free with an endless trial, but eh. I might give it a try with that note tho. On the other hand, I kinda want to go away from timeline based DAWs. I've been getting tired of them.
If you want a pattern based daw, I once tried something by akai. Not sure of the name or the quality. Also zrythm might be something you can give a try. If on Linux, you can hack a workflow using an audio editor, an fx host and a midi editor( basically modular workflow using jack ). This option worked best for me.
@@piousthepious tried it today. Liking the idea so far, -but none of my VSTs worked yet. An example of a VST plugin is Vital synth (seriously, get that synth. It's good), but I'm wondering if I need a restart on my system to place VSTs in.- *_*3rd edit._*_ The settings are trying to scan VST 1, 2, and 3. It's confirmed it supports all 3 types. Now's just the bugs causing them not to load._ *4th edit: Yep. You need to configure it to find the right folders. It wasn't targeting the right ones. Fixed it and all of them allowed as VST plugins loaded. If anything, I want to suggest to the dev that every node should be able to be turned on or off by MIDI data. If that can happen, you can essentially turn a MIDI stack into your own timeline and trigger an entire set of notes in pattern sets. I really feel that the idea is solid and will work with a few more patch ups. It also passes the opens-in-under-10-seconds check. So there's no time wasted in opening a project. I wouldn't say it's gonna write your whole song yet, and the dev does say it's main purpose is jamming to sketch, but, a fully programmatic system can do anything. And if the node system gets polished even further and allows on/off triggering? This program has endless potential.
@@sharkinahat doesn't support lv2. Supports vst but creates a lot of overhead. Is a bit hard to use the routing capabilities of JACK( which is the nicest feature of linux audio )
@@3digits13letters thank you for taking the time to suggest something, but pipewire is a different thing. Next part is an explanation of linux audio and what pipewire is/does so read at your own discretion. The audio landscape in linux is weird, it wasn't meant for musicians at all, so what it had are independent softwares working on their own. So to manage that we needed a server which maintains connection and time between the several pieces of hardware( think of it like a brain of a modular synth/eurorack ). So there were two types of server for this purpose, one for the general need like browsing video calls etc. called pulseaudio and the other a low latency one called Jack. So while making music you still needed to fire up jack and then your daw( daws are there in linux now and they work as well as any windows or mac ones ). Pipewire solves this problem of having two different servers for two different purposes. This means you can hook up your audio input/output from a video call to a recorder to a sampler and create a song from that live in your system. You entire system will basically become a modular daw. Under the present scenario all the audio( music production ) software can work together in a modular environment but the regular browser/spotify client cannot participate in it.
I thought you were making a jokey dig at pointless features for your extra money. Then I went full screen and read it was actually what was on screen. I dabble in DAW music and while I can see people finding this useful, it isn't for me.

This is the best music you've ever made in a video.
When you first launch Bespoke, make a save file while nothing has been done. Whenever you want a start a 'new' file, just load that blank one.
200 IQ problems require 200 IQ solutions
That's how I do templates in Davinci Resolve. Just use an old file and save as.
Or you can press "reset layout"
People who do this sometimes forget that they'll have to "save as" afterwards to not overwrite the blank file.
@@apollolux What about making it read-only?
I find most DAWs overwhelming but this looks interesting. I'll give it a shot

And the next Korn song is done, well done Mike.
Very cool thanks! I’m about to dive into this.

Thank you, I'll see what kind of tor--- I mean nice effects I can create !
As a VCV rack lover at heart, this do look interesting.
Reminds me of MetaSounds, pretty cool stuff !
I wonder if this could be used as some kind of voice changer. Probably not. Still looks damn cool.
You can. You can manipulate an input from a microphone, or a recorded sample
@@DonChups Oh! Hmm...
Thanks for clarifying!
How do you make something for over 10 years and make it for free!?!?!?
I know other examples, but its crazy
[Digital Foundry likes that]
this software is something else..
the only issue, i dont understand when the the record live button is engaged and when not.....
This is what I needed!
I think the "New" button would be "Reset Layout"
So, Unreal Engine 5 MetaSounds? It looks like Blueprints! But I really like the visual representations inside the nodes, definitely better than straight text
This price comparison table really confused me when i first went on bespoke synth's site
4 days of views, and no dislikes? Seems great software

It's closer to VCV Rack than a DAW
I am getting Buzz vibes all over again
Reset layout is basically the new button.

It would be neat if you could us it as a VST in other daw.
Looks like it's more VCV than a DAW but does look a tad less finicky to set up sounds as you don't have to worry about individual gates and voltages and such.

Seems legit good
Reminds me of SunVox

Awesome video !!! Should be possible to click twice in the like button !!!
ah this reminds me of sunvox, sweet
its like more advanced sunvox but not nearly as portable

Interesting but ill stick to my Bitwigs The Grid
Is anyone else getting Sunvox vibes from this?
Yeah, was thinking the same thinking the same thing. Not sure I like the pattern editors being in the nodes though Ill have to play with it.
That's pretty good video on it. Wondering how I could use it since I'm more tone deaf than you are. 😂 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Is there a way to disable "flashy" background so people with epilepsy can use it too?
