The arrangement is the centre.
Tracks, mixer channels, instruments, effects and routing all describe the same music. Change the view and the idea stays put.
MIX
The mixer follows the music.
See all sixteen channels together, or open the compact channel panel beside the arrangement. Levels, effects and selection stay with the same track everywhere.
ROUTE
A patch bay you can read.
Send one External MIDI track to several devices or to Sorbus instruments and drums. Choose audio inputs, USB output pairs and independent MIDI sync without leaving the musical context.
CREATE
Several ways into the same idea.
Write exact notes in Piano Grid, place voiced chords, build expressive rhythms in Groove Loom, record audio, and duplicate whole groups of blocks as independent copies.
THE SORBUS SOUND LAB
Sounds with a character of their own.
Sorbus includes instruments and effects made for curiosity: start with something useful, then push it somewhere unexpected.
SORBUS ATX-7
Six-operator FM, made inviting.
Build bright bells, shifting pads, basses and stranger machines through a playful instrument panel, then refine the operators, envelopes and performance controls in detail.
GALACTIC WHISPER
Turn a sound into a place.
Shape spacious convolution textures with Velvet, Glass and Air, import a WAV as your own impulse, or use Afterimage to move the feedback into a new shape and leave it there.
DETAIL WHEN YOU WANT IT
Touch the music itself.
Open any MIDI block in Piano Grid for precise pitch, timing, length and velocity. Instrument editors and full-screen Audio Units can stay open while the arrangement plays.
BUILT INDEPENDENTLY
Made by musicians, while making music.
Sorbus is for musicians who hear possibilities wherever they are and want to capture ideas quickly and in a useful way. Built independently with a musician’s curiosity at heart, Sorbus grows through experimentation.
PLAY FIRST
Everything musical is included.
All sixteen tracks and every current feature are ready to use. A single Full App purchase removes occasional reminders and supports independent development. There is no subscription.
