Instruments within instruments.
Bring together the sounds, movements, relationships, rhythmic patterns and expressive behaviour you’ve designed, and give the complete creation its own controls and visualisation. Then make that entire instrument one editable part of something new.
A nested instrument follows its parent’s tempo and harmony by default, while keeping rhythms, harmonic interpretation and Motion Waves of its own, so a creation can grow without becoming unmanageable. Open it at any time, change the sound inside and keep building.
See an instrument become a building block.
Six steps, with the struck glass from Stellar Awakening.
From one instrument to the next creation
Sound: The Resonant Star strikes a body of glass and lets it ring.
The struck glass from Stellar Awakening, an instrument made with The Resonant Star, with its sound, Motion Waves, rhythm, notes and expression inside and controls and a visualisation of its own outside. It becomes one part of Stellar Awakening, beside The Spectral Star’s pad, The Plasma Star’s bass, The Harmonic Pulsar’s arpeggio and The Particle Star’s atmosphere, and follows its tempo and harmony with a rhythm of its own. Opened again, it gains a new Motion Wave. Then Stellar Awakening becomes one part of the next creation, beside The Kinetic Star’s percussion and The Origin Star’s patterns.
The autopilot plays through all six, or pick one to stay with it.
Every instrument is a beginning.

How do instruments shape one another?
Interconnected synthesis
Parameters, audio, effects and Motion Waves interact across all seven engines and every instrument you build.
-
How does it move?
Motion Waves
Every supported parameter can move in its own time, and in StarShaper one instrument’s movement can shape another’s.
-
What does it play, and when?
Intelligent musical creation
Harmony, rhythm, arpeggiation, arrangement and performance become connected parts of the instrument, shared across everything you bring together.
