Undo, redo, clipboard operations and keyboard shortcuts keep ideas moving quickly.

The next voice

A new synthesis direction.

SaltCase is building a local neural synthesis runtime around Core ML and its own .scvoice voicebank format. The editor already passes expressive musical events to the new engine boundary.

A trained neural voicebank is not bundled yet. The current SATURNO source fixture contains a, ga, za, da and ba for future model work.

Open source revival

Built in public, one subsystem at a time.

SaltCase was dormant for years and is gradually coming back to life. Follow the work, report issues and help shape the next generation of the project.
