A new era of music production. SnappySnap is the world's first audio plugin featuring native Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration, allowing any AI assistant to directly control, manipulate, and collaborate with your plugin in real-time.

What This Means

• Conversational Control: Ask your AI to "make this sound darker" or "create a pad with slow attack" and watch it happen.
• Intelligent Automation: Let AI agents browse presets, tweak parameters, and morph between snapshots on your behalf.
• Universal Compatibility: Works with Claude, ChatGPT, and any MCP-compatible AI assistant.
• Hands-Free Workflow: Stay in your creative flow while AI handles the technical adjustments.

The Future is Here

• No More Menu Diving: Describe what you want instead of hunting through parameters.
• Collaborative Sound Design: Treat AI as your creative partner, not just a tool.
• Infinite Possibilities: Combine AI intelligence with SnappySnap's morphing engine for sounds you never imagined.

Randomization Engine

• Relative Drift: Applies a weighted "drift" to parameters rather than pure chaos.
• Amount Slider: 0-99% = subtle to moderate drift. 100% = complete chaos.
• Target Selection: Randomize All parameters or only Learned parameters.

Breeding (Genetic Algorithm)

• Two Parents: Select any two snapshots as Parent A and Parent B.
• Crossover: 0% = Pure A, 100% = Pure B, 50% = Equal mix.
• Mutation: Adds randomization to the offspring.
• Result: Creates a new "child" sound with characteristics of both parents.

Universal Preset System: SnappySnap acts as a unified preset manager for any VST3 or AU plugin, upgrading legacy plugins with modern file management.

How it Works

• Meta-Presets: A SnappySnap preset stores the hosted plugin, its internal state, all 12 snapshots, macros, and morph settings.
• Plugin Auto-Load: Loading a preset automatically launches the correct plugin.
• Bank Organization: 16 banks with up to 128 presets each.
• External Management: Bypass internal plugin browsers. Use SnappySnap to standardize workflow across all instruments.

Snapshot System

• 12 Slots: Arranged in a circular "clock" layout around the XY pad.
• Full State Capture: Saves every parameter of the hosted plugin.
• Naming: Right-click any snapshot to rename it or clear the name.
• Intelligent Caching: Detects parameter counts to prevent corruption when hot-swapping plugins.

Morphing Modes

• 1D Morph (Snappy Knob): Linearly interpolates through all 12 snapshots from position 0.0 to 1.0.
• 2D Morph (XY Pad): Uses distance-weighted interpolation based on cursor position relative to each snapshot on the circle.
• Elastic Mode: Adds physics (mass/spring) to the morph cursor. Fast movements create "overshoot" and "bounce" effects.
• Drift Mode: Autonomous wandering using Perlin noise. Three modes: Free, Anchored, and Orbit.

SnappySnap is fully playable via MIDI keyboard or controller.

Snapshot Triggers

• Note Triggers: Configurable octave (e.g., C2) maps notes C through B to Snapshots 1-12.
• Trigger Notes Filtered: These notes won't play sound on the hosted synth.

Preset Control

• Program Change (0-127): Load internal SnappySnap presets.
• CC#0 (Bank Select, 0-15): Switch between Banks 1-16.
• CC#1 (Mod Wheel): Scroll through presets in current bank.
• CC#110-121 (value > 64): Remote save to snapshot slots 1-12.
