RatHound

A dub-style delay built for reggae and bass music — three character engines, freeze, ducking, and a filtered feedback path that loves to self-oscillate.

A focused monophonic 808 synthesizer — sine core, pitch-envelope thump, multi-mode saturation, and a single Mild→Wild macro that drives the whole voice.

A one-knob digital destruction effect — bitcrush, sample-rate reduction, ring mod, robotic formants, and stutter, blended into ten preset flavors. Pick a flavor, turn one knob.

A 7-pad drum instrument with instant shuffle. Point it at your own sample folder and hit SHUFFLE ALL to re-roll your whole kit. Bring-your-own-kit — same engine, no bundled samples.

Pure synthesis — no samples. Seven instrument families spanning strings, brass, woodwinds, keys, plucked, mallets, and voice, with per-voice MPE expression.

Type text, pick a voice, and a MIDI melody drives the pitch so the voice sings your words. A stylized autotuned/vocoder vocal you drag straight onto an audio track. Free and open source (GPLv3).
