The full story
The maker had little time for electronic music, so they worked with Claude on soft synths. The first is Darkwave, a wavetable synthesiser written in C++, which means it can also run on the web through WebAssembly. They say the sound quality matches the standalone and VST3/AU versions.
It can be played with a MIDI keyboard or the computer keyboard. A "FRIGHT" button generates random patches and "Mutate" randomises the current preset. Image-generation tools were used for UI ideas.
