Synthlab

About

Synthlab transforms Claude into a comprehensive synthesis workstation by acting as an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server. It enables users to programmatically compose full songs from genre descriptions, generate detailed Pure Data (.pd) and VCV Rack (.vcv) patches, automatically map hardware MIDI controllers to rack parameters, and send real-time control messages to live synthesis environments. With a robust core engine for parsing, validating, and generating patches, alongside a rich template library and a sophisticated song composer, Synthlab streamlines the creation of complex audio setups powered by AI.

Key Features

• Generate Pure Data (.pd) patches from JSON specifications with full AST parsing and validation.
• Compose genre-driven songs with auto-wired Pure Data racks and integrated MIDI controller mappings.
• Generate VCV Rack (.vcv) patch files from module and cable specifications, supporting 19 plugins.
• 0 GitHub stars
• Automate MIDI controller mapping (Korg nanoKONTROL2, Arturia MicroFreak, Roland TR-8S) to rack parameters.
• Control live Pure Data instances by sending real-time OSC (UDP) or FUDI (TCP) messages.

Use Cases

• Prompt Claude to compose a dark techno track with drums, bass, and an arpeggio, using a Korg nanoKONTROL2.
• Generate a VCV Rack patch with specific modules like VCO → VCF → VCA → AudioInterface2 directly through AI.
• Create complex Pure Data racks with clock, sequencer, synth, reverb, and mixer modules, including inter-module wiring.
