SonicSoup is an evolutionary based sound design tool. It is a standalone app that can host your VST3 and Audiounit plugins to evolve sounds based on DNA. For evolution you need two things: mutation and selection. The app mutates the sounds and you select the best results. The results will evolve into generations of sounds which you can export or drag into your DAW.
The idea for SonicSoup stems from how me and many others create sounds: endless iterations over effects and endless sound variations, using the results as input for yet another round. In a DAW this can be a messy and cumbersome process. SonicSoup streamlines this process in a fun and inspiring way.
Important: currently only for macOS (macOS 14 and above)
No. SonicSoup is a standalone app. It hosts your plugins, renders the results to audio, and you take those sounds into your DAW by exporting them or dragging them straight in.
Saving, opening and exporting are disabled. Max 3 effects, 3 columns, 3 evolve actions, 4 renders per column. No extra evolve options like auto-evolve.
