FOR LIVE SYNTH PERFORMANCE · IN DEVELOPMENT

Take it further.
Bring it back.

Take a snapshot. Build the intensity.
Push your synth into beautiful chaos.
Bring your starting sound back when it counts.

Explore Undo Machine

For hands-on performers with hardware synths
and hybrid setups. Check your instrument’s supported controls.

A little controlled chaos

INTERACTIVE SKETCH

Out in the chaos. Your snapshot is held.

MADE FOR THE LIVE MOMENT

More freedom to improvise. A way back to your sound.

01 — 04

LIVE PERFORMANCE FIRST

Go off script.
Come back on cue.

That moment in a set when you want to go further. Open things up. Make it strange. Undo Machine holds a snapshot of your supported controls, giving you room to improvise and a way back to your starting sound.

01

Hold your starting point.

Your sound is where you want it. Take a snapshot before the next build, breakdown or unexpected turn.

02

Push it somewhere wild.

Turn the knobs you usually leave alone. Build tension. Stretch the texture. Let a controlled change become something gloriously absurd.

03

Bring it back when it counts.

Restore returns the supported controls to your snapshot. Want the chaos again? Return brings back the edits you just left.

04

Make the journey part of the set.

Morph between your starting sound and your edits. Build and release intensity with a gesture. Continuous values blend; switches and modes step.

A PLACE IN YOUR SETUP

Your hands know where to go.

Map the hardware Snapshot, Restore and Morph controls to a MIDI controller. Use the app to set up your instruments, then keep your attention on the sound.

Controller workflows vary by integration. DAW controller acceptance is still in progress.

BETWEEN PERFORMANCES

Find the next sound, too.

The same freedom belongs in the studio. Keep the patch you like, follow a different idea, and compare both directions. Explore the space between them. Your next live moment might start here.

A SMALL, CONSIDERED START

Know what works
with your setup.

The current prototype focuses on these four integrations. Each has a defined scope. Release validation is still in progress.

HARDWARE

Novation Peak

Prototype · hardware tested

Capture, track edits, selectively Restore/Return and Morph across 291 mapped parameters.

One Peak instance in the current app. Coverage is parameter-specific; it is not a promise to capture every field or firmware version. Final release checks remain open.

HARDWARE

Elektron Analog Four

Prototype · hardware tested

Sound parameters across four tracks, FX parameters and ten live Performance amounts. Bounded hardware tests cover specific workflows and parameter groups.

Control All is excluded. Some fine values round during selective restore. Patterns, entire kits and projects are outside the supported snapshot scope. Model and firmware evidence must be checked separately.

DAW

Bitwig Studio

Experimental connector

Snapshot, Restore/Return and Morph for exposed device parameters and sends, with bounded live tests on native Tool controls and sends.

After structural changes, rebuild controls and take a fresh snapshot. Automated device controls need manual exclusion. Broader plugin, nested-project and lifecycle acceptance is still open.

DAW

Ableton Live

Experimental connector

A connector for exposed device controls and sends, with bounded live readback and reconnect tests recorded.

Saved-set changes, automation, modulation, larger projects and plugin coverage need further acceptance. It does not restore an entire Live Set.

Prototype scope reviewed 19 September 2026. Previous tests do not certify the next release.

Don’t see your instrument?

Broader device support is part of the plan. Free guided owner investigations are being developed to help establish what each instrument can do. A model being researched does not mean it is supported yet.

A FEW GOOD QUESTIONS

Before you dive in.

Is this an audio effect or a plugin?

Undo Machine is currently a desktop app with MIDI and DAW connectors. It changes supported instrument and device parameters; it does not process your audio. A VST or Audio Unit version is not currently offered.

Does it save my entire synth or DAW project?

No. Snapshots cover supported parameter values. They are currently session-only, so they are not a replacement for saving patches or projects. Sequences, recordings and whole-project history are outside this workflow.

Can I use it without looking at a screen?

That is the intention: set up in the app, then use learned physical controls for supported hardware workflows. Controller and host behavior still need to be checked for each integration.

When can I download it, and what will it cost?

Undo Machine is in development. There is no public download or checkout yet. Release timing, supported operating systems, pricing and trial terms will be published once they are settled.

LEAVE YOURSELF A WAY BACK
