Nucleic Core
One product. Many forms.
Nucleic Core is the portable real-time foundation behind Nucleic instruments. It keeps the sound, timing, controls, and state that define a product coherent across hardware and software.
Built through real synths, sequencers, MIDI tools, embedded systems, and working hardware-panel experiments.
One instrument, several environments
- Play it on stage and in the studio.Hardware and software editions share the same sound, timing, and state, not just a similar feel.
- Move an idea from hardware to plugin without a rewrite.One product engine, with a thin adapter per platform.
- Add a new interface without duplicating the product.A screen, a hardware panel, or a plugin editor all reflect the same product state.
Nucleic Core in motion
Three different products put the foundation under different kinds of pressure: synthesis and audio, sequencing and state, and MIDI routing without any audio DSP. Try the current browser experiments directly.
Each one shares its portable product engine with other editions: native apps, VST3 plugins, or Daisy-class embedded builds, depending on the product and how far its qualification has gotten.
Products taking shape
Nucleic Core grows through real instruments and performance tools. Each one has to be musically useful in its own right while teaching the shared foundation something the previous product couldn't.
Acid Cell
One sequencer and synth concept, headed toward a standalone desktop unit and software editions sharing the same engine. The playable demo today is a single acid voice and step sequencer; sixteen tracks, sixteen patterns per track, and a dedicated hardware panel are the direction, not yet the build.

Turns one MIDI performance into evolving interplay across several instruments. Each incoming note selects one stage, and every route assigned to it runs together, deciding what plays, how it's transformed, and whether it plays at all. Runs today as a native macOS app and a browser edition on the same portable product engine.
Explore Stage Router →Where this is heading
Hardware instruments with faithful virtual editions. Software instruments with dedicated controllers. Rich editors for standalone products. Presets and product behavior that stay coherent across compatible editions. Eventually, deeper sequencers and interactive systems where sound, events, and real-time graphics share the same foundation.
