PUBLIC PRODUCT FIELD GUIDE

Five tools.
Five distinct jobs.

This collection begins as playable browser software and is being designed toward native plugin development. The previews communicate product behavior, workflow, interaction, and visual identity while the production audio and MIDI engines move toward JUCE.

01 · THEORY

GK Studio Theory

A visual harmony, composition, learning, and practice environment built to make deep musical relationships understandable and playable—not merely name chords after they happen.

PRESENT FOUNDATIONInteractive theory workspace

Keyboard visualization, harmony tools, composition interfaces, lessons, and playable browser modules.

TECHNICAL DIRECTIONMIDI-first intelligence

Structured chord, scale, voicing, progression, notation, and performance data feeding reusable engines.

NATIVE VST INTENTDAW harmony companion

Live MIDI analysis and generation, routing, drag-and-drop clips, host sync, and visual voice leading.

02 · CHOP

GK Studio Chop

A sample-chopping workstation for turning recordings into playable instruments quickly, with enough depth for deliberate slicing and enough immediacy for performance.

PRESENT FOUNDATIONPlayable browser sampler

Local audio loading, waveform interaction, slice handling, pad banks, and keyboard performance.

TECHNICAL DIRECTIONNon-destructive sample state

Serializable source, slice, bank, mapping, timing, and performance data suitable for native parity.

NATIVE VST INTENTFast DAW sampling instrument

Transient-aware chopping, tempo sync, per-slice shaping, MIDI mapping, recording, and drag export.

03 · KEYS

GK Studio Keys

A preset-first hybrid keyboard instrument focused on expressive, inspiring sounds rather than forcing musicians to construct every patch from an empty synthesizer.

PRESENT FOUNDATIONBrowser reference synthesizer

Playable voices, preset schema, macro controls, voice modes, and an interface built around performance.

TECHNICAL DIRECTIONPortable instrument definitions

Presets describe synthesis behavior and macro intent so content can migrate into the native engine.

NATIVE VST INTENTExpressive hybrid instrument

Production oscillators, sampling, filters, modulation, effects, MPE, automation, and scalable preset content.

04 · DRUMS

GK Studio Drums

A 32-pad rhythm workstation organized around complete kit personalities, quick performance, and a content pipeline that can grow without rewriting the instrument.

PRESENT FOUNDATIONPlayable kit engine

Multiple pad banks, keyboard triggering, kit definitions, and honest synthesized fallback sounds.

TECHNICAL DIRECTIONSchema-driven drum library

Portable kits describe pads, samples, synthesis, choke behavior, color, naming, and performance defaults.

NATIVE VST INTENTProduction rhythm workstation

Sample layering, synthesis, pad processing, choke groups, sequencing, humanization, multi-out, and MIDI export.

05 · RACK

GK Studio Rack

A modular effects environment where musicians build and save signal chains without losing the immediacy of a focused plugin.

PRESENT FOUNDATIONInteractive signal-chain reference

Module ordering, rack-state handling, presets, and the first browser DSP behaviors.

TECHNICAL DIRECTIONSerializable modular graph

Stable module IDs, parameters, routing, bypass state, ordering, and preset migration.

NATIVE VST INTENTExpandable multi-effect rack

Low-latency DSP, modulation, flexible routing, automation, metering, oversampling, and chain presets.
