Build Your Voice

A synth you assemble like tiles.

  • 3 voice lanes of stackable blocks
  • Generators sum into the bus, processors transform it
  • Drag cards to reorder — the signal flow is the UI

Generator Blocks

Five sound sources, all polyphonic.

  • Analog with 8-voice unison
  • Wavetable with 8 morphing banks
  • Noise, Sub and Sample playback with loop

Drag-and-Drop Modulation

Grab a source, drop it on a knob.

  • 10 sources: 3 envelopes, 3 LFOs (5 shapes incl. S&H), random drift, velocity, mod wheel, note
  • Up to 32 routings with colored mod rings on every knob
  • Depth editing right on the routing list

Master Section

Finish the patch inside Tessera.

  • 2 master FX lanes
  • Soft limiter on the output
  • 16-voice engine

Color-Coded Workflow

You always know what a block does.

  • Teal generators, amber processors, violet modulators
  • Preset system (.cstsra) with browser
  • CurlySynth line UI with a blueprint dark theme
