4NTHRACITE

Exploring the edge of chaos.

You will get lost.

Things will go wrong.

There will be chaos.
(that's where the interesting music lives.)

01

A collection of instruments

From a physics ball sequencer to a neural topology synth. Every tool is a fully self-contained creative instrument with its own logic and interface.

02

All tools sync together

Global BPM, key, and scale. A single SYNC pulse broadcasts to every open tool simultaneously. Things that shouldn't work together, do.

03

Mix, record, save

Per-tool mixer with volume, pan, FX send, mute, and solo. Record everything to stereo WAV. Save and reload full sessions as .anthc files.

04

Bring your own samples

A built-in sample library panel — drag audio files or folders directly into any tool that accepts them. Your sounds, their engine.

05

Buy once, own forever

No subscription. No accounts. No telemetry. Your files stay on your machine. One purchase covers all platforms.

06

Designed to surprise you

Every tool has a moment where it does something you didn't expect. That's intentional. The wrong notes are part of it.

Rhythm Machines

KIK

Industrial Kick Engine

Precision kick drum synthesizer with layered transient, noise, and saturation stages — driven by a 16-step pattern sequencer.

EUCLIDEAN

Euclidean Rhythm Generator

6-track polymetric drum machine that distributes hits evenly using the Euclidean algorithm, creating evolving polyrhythmic grooves.

NL SEQ

Non-Linear Drum Sequencer

6-channel drum sequencer where a hand-drawn tempo curve controls how fast or slow each individual step plays.

CELLS

Cellular Automata Sequencer

8-track drum sequencer driven by Langton's lambda cellular automaton — patterns evolve continuously based on a CHAOS knob.

BEATS

Polymetric Beats

6-channel step sequencer where each channel runs at its own independent step count, producing natural polyrhythmic phase drift.

SNAKE

Snake Sequencer

Steer a snake across a sound grid with arrow keys. The trail it records plays back as a looping sequence with lo-fi bit-crush.

BALLS

Ball Physics Sequencer

Bouncing balls trigger musical events on collision. Adjust gravity and damping to shape the rhythm's energy and density.

MACHINE

Kinetic Audio Physics Engine

2D physics sandbox where ball emitters bounce off walls and user-placed objects, generating non-repeating collision-based rhythms.

Synths

T-303

Turing 303

TB-303 style acid synthesizer driven by a 16-bit Turing machine shift register — from locked patterns to maximum chaos.

PENDULUM

Pendulum Drone

Drone synthesizer whose timbre is modulated by a simulated multi-arm pendulum. Drag the bob; add motors for infinite oscillation.

EDO ARP

Equal Division Arp Synth

Synthesizer tunable to any equal division of the octave — 5-EDO to 31-EDO and beyond — with a dynamically redrawn keyboard.

TENSION

Fusion Architect

4-operator FM synthesizer driven by a stochastic chord navigation puck moving through a 2D harmonic tension space.

TOPO

Topology Sequencer

Spatial sequencer on a 35×37 deformable mesh. Smudge the grid in real time to reshape the melodic contour of each column.

PAINT

Paint Synth

Canvas synthesizer where painting directly produces sound. Vertical axis = frequency; a scanning playhead reads your brushstrokes.

SPACE

Neural Topology Synth

Loads audio and extracts 8 spectral engrams distributed across a neural network. Mouse blends engrams across 40 oscillator voices.

Harmony & Melody

GEO HAR

Geometric Harmony Sequencer

Timeline canvas where placed chord blocks trigger polyphonic harmonies under a sweeping playhead. Just-intonation snap available.

TONNETZ

Tonnetz Grid

Interactive Neo-Riemannian hexagonal lattice where adjacent nodes form triads. Click to record a path for melodic voice-leading playback.

MANDALA

Harmonic Mandala

Generative chord explorer displayed as nested harmonic rings. Hover to hear; click to record a looping sequence with Coltrane-style changes.

JAZZ

Stochastic Fusion Groove Architect

Stochastic groove generator simulating guitar, violin, and saxophone improvising over randomised chord progressions.

MAQAM

Maqam Step Sequencer

Step sequencer tuned to Arabic maqam scales with authentic quarter-tone microtonal intonation — rendered without rounding to 12-TET.

CHAOS

Edge of Chaos

Generative sequencer driven by a 5-neighbourhood cellular automaton. A roaming probe cursor collects live cells and triggers their pitches.

Granular

GRANULAR

Granular Synth

Classic granular synthesis engine. Load any audio file; control grain size, density, drift, and direction for infinite textural variation.

GRN MTX

Matrix Granular

Granular synthesizer built around a painted grid matrix. Paint cells to arm grain-trigger positions; a playhead fires them from your sample.

LOOPER

Live Loop Recorder

5-channel live looper with per-channel trim markers, SYNC mode, and a 16-step sequencer for triggering loops in time.

FX & Ambience

SHOEGAZE

Shoegaze Processor

Live audio processor with granular pitch shift, feedback delay network reverb, and shimmer. HOLD freezes the wet tail indefinitely.

SPECTRAL

Spectral Editor

Partial-based additive synthesizer with a visual FFT editor. Drag, add, or delete sinusoidal partials; hear resynthesis in real time.
