Gestalt
Bitwig and Ableton style modular racks brought into Reaper: modulation, routing and FX in one UX-first environment. C++ VST plus Lua and ReaImGui.
A modular rack inside Reaper
Reaper has the routing and the FX, but not the patch-anything-to-anything feel of a Bitwig grid or an Ableton rack. Gestalt brings that in: modulators, routing and effects in one opinionated environment built around how you actually patch, not how a DAW menu is organised.
The modulation model runs this site
The part that matters beyond Reaper: Gestalt's modulation model is the same math now driving this site's visuals. The empreinte system that animates the hero is descended directly from this rack. It was built for music, and it is already running the visuals.
Why roll my own
A capability you own can be pointed at the next thing for free. Gestalt is the proof: one modulation engine, carrying both the music and the show.
Gestalt is not out yet, so this is a tease more than a demo. What is showable now, a rack screenshot, a modulation clip, the visuals side by side with the audio, and a link goes in a button row on release.
