FREE | Win Mac Linux VST VST3 AU LV2| 172 MBBespoke is a software modular synthesizer. It contains a bunch of modules, which you can connect together to create sounds.
Bespoke is like a DAW* in some ways, but with less of a focus on a global timeline. Instead, it has a design more optimized for jamming and exploration.
Bespoke is a project I started in 2011 as a way for me to learn more about creating music. Instead of putting in the time to learn the intricacies of an existing DAW, I took on a foolhardy exercise to try to build my own. The software is custom built by me and for me, hence the name "Bespoke".
Bespoke's core design is to break everything into separate modules that can be patched together in a custom layout, much like a hardware modular. Bespoke is designed to be highly customizable, with the idea that any of the custom layouts that you create will be "bespoke" to you as well.
In a way, Bespoke is like if I smashed Ableton to bits with a baseball bat, and asked you to put it back together.
Features:
live-patchable environment, so you can build while the music is playing
VST, VST3, LV2 hosting
Python livecoding
MIDI & OSC controller mapping
Works on Windows, Mac, and Linux
Changes:
Bespoke 1.2.1:
this is primarily a bugfix release to fix the following two major issues with 1.2.0:
some older bespoke patches (including several of the included example files!) weren't loading
bespoke would sometimes fail to start properly on macOS13 in certain audio configurations
a few other features and tweaks snuck in as well. take a look at CHANGELOG.md for a breakdown of all changes since 1.2.0
Added
Added total duration to songbuilder sequencer
Added corner radius setting to the globalcontrols module
Added the ability to execute "console" commands directly from OSC using the /bespoke/console address
Added buffershuffler features: fourtet effect and ability to only play when triggered
Added new "cable_alpha" option in settings and in the globalcontrols module that allows you to reduce cables opacity to nearly invisible
Added an option to wrap mouse around when panning canvas
Changed
Made valuesetter force value updates
Adjusted transport minimum tempo to 20 to sidestep weird issues when tempo is lower
Allow toggling enabling state of prefabs, this will attempt to toggle the enabled state of all modules contained within
Note cables have been made less thick
Audio, note, and pulse cables now draw behind modules
Changed how settings menu is positioned so it always spawns on-screen
Adjusted background color alpha of prefab to make it less imposing-looking
Changed how pulse width parameter affects sawtooth wave
Fixed
Fixed an issue where savestates with effectchain modules saved prior to the 2022-11-25 build would not load
Fixed an issues with the absence of modulation using incorrect defaults
Fixed NaN when adjusting slider with out-of-range value
Fixed velocity not working in drumplayer
Fixed an issue where effectchain mix sliders couldn't be targeted by modulators
Fixed a bug in the cosine window of the granulators that caused clicky noises at the end of grains
Fixed a deadlock by upgrading JUCE that was causing startup hangs on MacOS 13
bespoke 1.2.0
hello! it has been a very long time since a bespoke release, but it's finally time for bespoke 1.2.0.
the addition of the bespoke's nightly build system back in december 2021 (thanks baconpaul!) reduced a lot of my motivation to do releases (since people were always able to grab the latest and greatest), and "let me just add one more thing first" syndrome really pushed the timeline out on this thing, but it's finally time to put a stake in the ground and call this a stable release. take a look at CHANGELOG.md for a more thorough breakdown of all additions since 1.1.0, but here are some highlights:
new modules:
clockin/clockout: sync bespoke tempo to other devices via midi clock
abletonlink: sync bespoke's tempo to ableton link-enabled apps
songbuilder: pattern control interface to help you turn loops into songs (similar to a tracker's pattern sequencer, but bespokified)
timelinecontrol: take control of bespoke's timeline position
buffershuffler: a new stutter-like tool for slicing up live audio on a grid
...plus a bunch of other utility modules
other cool stuff:
added right-click quickspawn menu system to improve module spawning workflow
added "drag cable into space" spawn system to speed up patch building workflow
many significant additions to push 2 controller integration
renamed presets module to snapshots module, and reframed it to be more useful as a performance/sequencing tool
added a bunch of OSC support
added looping deterministic modes to notechance, notehocket, and other randomization-driven modules
also, fixed a bunch of bugs and crashes.
