MURMUR //
NINE ENGINES, ONE PATCH
Stack classic, wavetable, FM, additive, granular and physical-model engines in a single patch. Or type what you hear and let Sketch build you a starting point.

The engines
Nine engines in one patch
Every engine is a full sound source. Run them side by side, route them into each other and mix them however you like.
Classic
Two analog-style oscillators with a little drift and hard sync.
Wavetable
Two wavetable oscillators with smooth morphing between frames.
FM
Six-operator FM with the classic algorithms and feedback.
Additive
Up to 512 partials, each with its own envelope skew.
Phase-Distortion
The old phase-distortion trick, plus wavefolding and phase sweeps.
Granular
Grain clouds with spread and stereo drift.
Noise
Pink, blue and crackle noise with color filters.
Resonator
Physical models with tension, damping and material settings.
External-In
Feed in live audio and use it as an FM source.
Sketch
From a few words to a playable patch
Describe it
Say it the way you would to a friend: ‘underwater’, ‘dusty keys’, ‘a bass that growls’.
It picks the settings
Sketch chooses engines, envelopes, filters and effects to match, then names the patch.
Then it’s yours
It’s a normal patch. Tweak any knob, save it, and share it if you want to.
Scope
What it looks like
