The Future of Sound Belongs to Everyone

Fabrik is more than a synth. It’s an audio playground. A place where sound isn’t just built… it’s explored, bent, broken, reimagined. Whether you’re a producer, sound designer, developer, or someone who just loves messing with sound, Fabrik gives you tools to create without limits.

And we’re just getting started.

✦ Idea 1: 2D Wavetables & Samplers

Imagine morphing between waveforms in two dimensions, or dragging and dropping samples. Combine this with modular routing and you unlock a whole new approach to synthesis and sampling.

What if Serums 2d wavetables existed in Fabrik…

✦ Idea 2: Subgraphs

Patching can get complex, what if you could wrap parts of your patch into reusable modules? Subgraphs would help keep your workspace clean, organized, and truly scalable. It would look something like this:

This is actually a screenshot of the first Fabrik prototype…

✦ Idea 3: Spectral Playground

A frequency-domain mode with tools like freeze, morph, vocode, blur, and convolve – all live, all patchable. This could turn Fabrik into a full spectral lab, where sound is sculpted by movement and texture.

Imagine Harmors spectral tools within Fabrik…

✦ Idea 4: Dynamic Sidechaining

Let envelopes or signals control other sounds with precision. Introduce sidechain-like behaviors and other dynamics tools that let you shape energy, motion, and rhythm directly in the patch.

What if Deltas sidechaining, was possible within Fabrik, not only with distortion, but with any effect…

✦ Idea 5: Fabrik FX

A standalone effects plugin with the same modular engine. Imagine building custom effect racks, dynamic chains, or VST-wrapping setups with full modulation power. For sound design, mixing, or even mastering.

Think of FL Patcher but built into Fabrik, and accessible to any DAW user as an FX Plugin…

✦ Idea 6: Creator Driven Marketplace

A democratic space where anyone can share and sell presets, sample packs, custom blocks, subgraphs, skins and even entire synths. No approval queues, no gatekeeping. If you can patch it, you can share it.

Imagine splice, but any user can share & sell samples, presets, nodes, skins, plugins etc.

✦ Idea 7: Fabrik AI

An assistant built for sound design. Drop in a sample – get a patch. Type in a vibe – get a synth. Let AI help build modulation paths or finish ideas before you lose them. Not a replacement – just a co-creator that works with you, not for you.

The first step in this direction is FabrikGPT. This AI helps you learn Fabrik, understand signal flow, and explore sound design techniques. Whether you’re building your first patch or exploring advanced modulation setups, FabrikGPT is here to guide, explain, and inspire.
