Raèld Sense. Every sound made in code.
An instrument for Afrobeats, Amapiano, Hip-hop/Trap, Drill and R&B: 338 sounds built from synthesis and models, not recordings, in a browser that knows each genre's instruments. Click a sound to hear it in its register, turn its eight macros, let the strummer or arpeggiator play your chords, and drag the loops straight into your session.

Find it by genre, shape it with eight knobs
Every stock sound is synthesized or modelled in code: analog and wavetable oscillators, FM, physical models of strings, pipes, bars and drums, granular textures and drum synthesis. Nothing is a recording of someone else's instrument.
Browse by genre
Genre, subgenre, then instrument: 19 kinds in every genre. Filter by mood, key and BPM, search, star favourites, rate, and find similar sounds.
Hear it in its register
A click plays a short phrase where the instrument lives: an 808 down low, a lead up high, chords for keys and pads, a groove for drums.
Turn the macros
Brightness, Space, Movement, Grit, Attack, Release, Width and Tone (Sub on basses and 808s): each moves several settings at once, on every sound.
Play, or let it play
Hold a chord and the strummer plays it like a guitarist, or the arpeggiator walks through it, on your song's grid.
A deck you can read at a glance
Built as a real piece of hardware: a long deck in brushed gunmetal, the browser in a screen on the left, the sound and its picture in the centre, machined knobs with printed scales for the macros, the player over the keys and an LED meter. The edit, effects, mod matrix, library and loop pages open in the centre screen. It opens laptop-sized and scales from 85 to 300 %.
From the first idea to your own sounds
338 stock sounds
Afrobeats, Amapiano, Hip-hop/Trap, Drill and R&B: 67 or 68 each across guitars, basses, 808s, keys, pads, leads, plucks, bells, flutes, brass, strings, vocal textures, drums, percussion, arps, atmospheres and FX. All at about the same loudness.
Made in code
Analog, wavetable, FM, physical models, granular, drum synthesis and samples rendered in code. The modelled guitars, pianos, flutes and log drums say so: models, not recordings.
Strummer and arpeggiator
Strum up and down, palm-mute, play highlife and Afrobeats picking or muted offbeat chops. Or arpeggiate: seven patterns, rate, octaves, swing, gate and latch, on your song's grid.
100 MIDI loops
Chord progressions, basslines, melodies, guitar patterns and drum grooves for each genre, written for Raèld Sense. Play them through any sound; drag them into your DAW as MIDI or audio.
Your own sounds
Drop WAV, AIFF, FLAC or MP3 files, or SFZ, SF2 and Decent Sampler instruments: pitch found, multisamples mapped, loops sliced or kept in time. Tag them and they sit in the browser beside the stock sounds.
A browser that knows the genres
Genre, subgenre and instrument, with mood, key and BPM filters, search, favourites, ratings, recently used and similar sounds. The genre list is a text file you can extend.
Checked on every sound
Through the plugin, the way your DAW plays it. Nothing from another company has been measured or copied.
| Test | Result |
|---|---|
| Loudness while browsing | every stock sound within 2.6 dB of its level on the phrase the browser plays |
| Chords | no four-note chord on any stock sound past -1 dBFS |
| The eight macros | each changes every one of the 338 sounds, and none makes a sound run away at either end |
| The players and loops | on the song's grid, the same at any buffer size; audio loops repeat without a click |
| Your imports | played in tune across the keys; aliasing under -55 dB when pitched up |
| Sample rates and buffers | 44.1 to 192 kHz, every buffer size, automation, sessions and offline bounces checked through the VST3 |
Good to know: the acoustic instruments are models made in code; for a recorded piano or guitar, import your own samples. A big pad played with many voices takes a fair share of the processor (at 64 voices about 13 to 45 % of one core, depending on the sound).

Good to know
Are the pianos and guitars recordings?
No. Every stock sound is made in code: the guitars, pianos, flutes, marimbas and log drums are physical models, and each says so in its description. For a recorded instrument, import your own samples on a layer and shape them like any other sound.
What can I import?
Your own WAV, AIFF, FLAC and MP3 files (single notes, multisamples, loops), and instruments in open formats: SFZ, SF2 and Decent Sampler. Import only sounds you made, bought or have permission to use.
How do the loops get into my DAW?
Drag the MIDI tile into your playlist or piano roll, or the AUDIO tile for a WAV of the loop played on your sound at your song's tempo and key. DAWs don't tell plugins the song's key, so you set it on the LOOPS page.
Which genres are in it?
Afrobeats, Amapiano, Hip-hop/Trap, Drill and R&B, with their subgenres, in 1.0. The browser lists more genres already (for your own sounds); their stock libraries come in updates.
Can I try it first?
Yes. Without a key it runs as a full demo; the only limit is a short dropout every 45 seconds. Enter a Raèld Sense key or your All Access key any time to unlock it.
