Built an MCP server for direct sound design on my hardware synth

Made an MCP server that lets you design sounds on the Digitone 2 synth with natural language — real-time control over MIDI. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXf6lOTjla8

In plain words

This MCP server enables real-time sound design on the Digitone 2 hardware synthesizer using natural language commands. Users can control MIDI parameters directly through text instructions rather than manual hardware adjustment. The tool bridges natural language processing with hardware synthesis, allowing musicians and sound designers to prototype and modify synthesizer sounds programmatically. It's designed for anyone working with the Digitone 2 who wants faster, code-based sound exploration.

    Ever wanted to control Ableton with just your voice? Me too! I made this MCP server so I could just ask Codex to do anything in Ableton Live for me, while I was nap-trapped by my baby. The chat messages I sent to Codex to make this: in ableton, make a self reflective song, with audio vocals (via macos say) and chip tunes and 80's drum machines. should be a real edm banger i want midi for everything but vocals please, with ableton devices. not prerendered audio for instruments needs some fills and should hit way harder after "3-2-1 i become the sound" the vocals are squished too much (read…

    Cloning a musical instrument from 16 seconds of audio2022 · erlj.notion.site · ▲185

    In 2020, Magenta released DDSP [1], a machine learning algorithm / python library which made it possible to generate good sounding instrument synthesizers from about 6-10 minutes of data. While working with DDSP for a project, we realised how it was actually quite hard to find 6-10 minute of clean recordings of monophonic instruments. In this project, we have combined the DDSP architecture with a domain adaptation technique from speech synthesis [2]. This domain adaptation technique works by pre-training our model on many different recordings from the Solos dataset [3] first and then…

    What if your synthesizer was powered by APL (or a dumb K clone)?Mar 2026 · octetta.github.io · ▲92

    I built k-synth as an experiment to see if a minimalist, K-inspired array language could make sketching waveforms faster and more intuitive than traditional code. I’ve put together a web-based toolkit so you can try the syntax directly in the browser without having to touch a compiler: Live Toolkit: https://octetta.github.io/k-synth/ If you visit the page, here is a quick path to an audio payoff: - Click "patches" and choose dm-bell.ks. - Click "run"—the notebook area will update. Click the waveform to hear the result. - Click the "->0" button below the waveform to copy…
