What is Magic

AI-powered sound design, made simple

✨ Magic translates your intention into Machine parameters using AI (Gemini Flash). Whether you describe a sound in natural language or shape it on the 8-axis radar, Magic generates three preset suggestions tailored to your request.

No manual tweaking of 92 parameters. No guessing. Just describe what you hear in your head, pick the closest suggestion, refine it in Machine and save to Library. The result is a preset built around your vision, not a generic preset factory.

How it works

From intention to audio in four steps

  1. Step 1

    Describe or shape

    Type a text description ("warm, spacious, with gentle movement") or use the 8-axis radar to shape your sound visually. Both methods feed into Magic.

  2. Step 2

    Generate suggestions

    Magic analyzes your input and generates 3 preset variations. Each one configures all 92 parameters to match your description.

  3. Step 3

    Pick and refine

    Select your favorite suggestion. It loads instantly into Machine, where you can tweak individual parameters, explore harmonics and adjust space design.

  4. Step 4

    Save to Library

    Once you're satisfied, save the preset to your Library. Name it, tag it and access it anytime from the grid view or with one click during performance.

Sound shaping

The 8 axes

Shape sound with 8 intuitive scales. Drag to adjust — see how your sound transforms in real time.

Warmth Brightness Space Texture Movement Depth Attack Width

Interactive in the plugin — drag any axis to reshape your sound

Or just describe what you want:

"A warm, spacious reverb with gentle high-end shimmer"

Magic translates your words into Machine parameters you can fine-tune.

Magic isn't a black box. Every AI suggestion maps directly to Machine's 92 parameters — you see exactly what changed and can adjust anything. It's a starting point for exploration, not a final answer.

Use cases

Real-world Magic workflows

🎻 String player seeking texture

"I want a bowed sound that's rich and breathy, like there's air moving across the strings. Gentle movement, lots of space."

Magic prompt: "warm, breathy, spacious, subtle modulation"
Result: Preset blends saturation, reverb and light chorus -- tailored to the Material profile of a steel-string upright bass.

🎸 Guitarist exploring ambient

"I want something ethereal and wide. Complex, maybe slightly granular. Long sustain but with movement underneath."

Magic prompt: "ethereal, wide, granular, long sustain, movement"
Result: Combines doubling, stereo spread, light granulation and a slow LFO -- creating an expansive texture suited to electric guitar.
