๐ฌ Deep Dive: Recipes in Action
Real-World Use Cases
Experimental Processing
"What if I run a sine wave through a delay, then into a distortion, then route it through a filter and a haas effect in parallel?" - With Recipes, unconventional signal routing is just a few cable connections away.
Sharing Knowledge
"I figured out an amazing lead sound technique" - Save your complete setup and share it with the community. Others can load your recipe, learn from it, and build upon your ideas.
The Browser Advantage
Unlike traditional DAW plugins, Recipes runs entirely in your browser:

- Cross-platform compatibility - Works on Windows, Mac, mobile
- Instant sharing - Send a link to share your exact setup
- Always updated - New effects and features appear automatically

๐ Bug Fixes & Improvements

๐ฎ What's Coming Next
Immediate Roadmap
๐ต Starts: Advanced Pattern Control
More algorithms, more control, more drums.
๐งช Recipes: Additions and Improvements
Recipes is a complicated system. It has bugs, for example, the MIDI isn't the best, but this is a good start. More effects, more oscillators, are on their way.
โ๏ธ Rhymes: Advanced Analysis
Rhymes is a quick proof of concept for a planned lyric writing system. Whilst the full system is still in development, expect improvements to the current rhyme visualization. Rhymes are a tricky business!
