TC Tools.

A growing family of terminal-controlled instruments — drive a granular synth and a drum machine entirely from the command line, each with a live Textual TUI.

Who it's for

For musicians who live in the terminal and want instruments that speak the same language.

TCGS · available now

A terminal-controlled granular synthesizer — grain engine, 4-LFO modulation matrix, polyphonic voices, live Textual TUI with waveform + grain-field display.

TCDM · available now

A terminal-controlled drum machine — sample-accurate step transport, Elektron-style per-step param locks, an 8-slot pattern bank, and a full master FX chain.

TCWS · available now

A terminal-controlled wavetable synthesizer — a morphing wavetable engine where scanning position is the headline modulation target, with spectral morph mode, a 64-slot mod matrix, unison, and a live morphing-waveform TUI.

More on the way

FM and subtractive instruments in the same family are in progress — the collection grows.

One language

Every instrument is driven entirely from the command line, each with a live terminal interface. No mouse required.
