Open synthesizer platform

Auvra

A software-defined instrument with the immediacy of hardware.

A CLAP-based sound engine and touch-first interface, designed around a Yamaha S90.

01 / Platform

Designed to be played.

Traditional instrument controls meet an extensible software engine. The architecture keeps the playing path direct and the system open to new sounds.

01

Plugin-native sound

CLAP instruments and effects form playable patches, layers, splits, and an integrated mixer.

02

Physical control

The Yamaha S90 keybed and control surface are the starting point for a dedicated instrument, not a desktop workstation.

03

Low-latency architecture

A Rust engine and real-time Linux target responsive audio. End-to-end latency still requires hardware measurement.

02 / Project status

A working software prototype.
A hardware instrument in progress.

The Mac software MVP includes the synthesizer host, mixer, and control-surface integration. The N100-based instrument and its physical interfaces remain a prototype track; pinouts, timing, and audio latency must be validated on hardware.

03 / Documentation

The design is documented in the open.

Architecture, implementation decisions, unresolved questions, and the development environment live together in the blueprint.
