Gloopy¶
A linear-arranger DAW. Lay instrument, audio, and MIDI tracks down a timeline; each track owns its clips. Edit notes in a step grid or piano roll, drive instruments with the built-in synth/sampler or hosted VST3 / LV2 plugins, shape the sound through a mixer with insert effects — and drive the whole thing remotely over a control API (OSC + gRPC).
This manual has two front doors. Pick the one that matches what you're doing.
-
User guide
For musicians and producers working inside the app: recording, arranging, editing, mixing, and bouncing to WAV.
-
Control & scripting
For integrators, script authors, and hardware vendors driving Gloopy over gRPC or OSC, or building on the Python and Common Lisp clients.
New here?¶
- Get it → Install Gloopy (RPM, DEB, or a Windows zip).
- Musician → Record your first track.
- Developer → Drive Gloopy from Python, then read The Gloopy model.
Whichever door you came through, the vocabulary — track, clip, scene, transport, mixer track — is defined once, in The Gloopy model. Every other page links there rather than re-explaining it.
