flag   Create elaborate soundscapes with Hz.

Forget point-and-click. Hz is a code-powered IDE for crafting intricate soundscapes and composing electronic music with watchmaker precision. Tailored for the technological artist, Hz empowers you to sculpt audio with deliberate intent.

Hz is programmable at every level of its architecture, but you can also just plug in your favorite MIDI or audio devices and just jam. AI tools have made programming more accessible than ever and that means that Hz is too!

The web edition of Hz (HzWeb) runs in your browser and requires no download or installation steps.

Extensible Sound System

Hz is a musical laboratory that provides convenient access to a broad range of musical and audio authoring tools from the comfort of your favorite web browser.

Hz allows you to extend and tailor your audio workbench to fit your general and project-specific needs.

Two Flavors of Hz

HzWeb is built atop your browser's WebAudio engine and the Web Audio Module (WAM) plugin standard.

Hz is a traditional downloadable Desktop app and is built atop a custom high-performance audio engine built for CLAP plugins.

Both flavors present the same GUI and expose the same programming environment. Both require a desktop or laptop computer with keyboard, audio IO and optional MIDI input devices. Hz requires a modern install of MacOS or Window and HzWeb runs whereever your modern browser does.
