RIVETBuild your rack.
Choose a device. Shape a sound. Keep your instruments and effects together in one modular workspace.
A native Linux music workstation
Build the sound.
Wire the
machine.
A modular studio, built from the foundation up. Instruments in a rack. Signals you can follow. A native home for making music.

01 / The idea
A studio with a signal path.
The planned workflow puts the relationship between your instruments, effects and arrangement in plain view.
Follow the signal.
Flip to the rear view and connect typed audio and modulation ports. Every cable is intended to change the processing graph.
Make it a track.
Arrange MIDI, edit notes, automate parameters and render your mix. These are later milestones on the roadmap.
02 / Development, in the open
A real foundation.
A clear way forward.
Implemented
The native application foundation
RIVET is under active development. The current 0.1.0 baseline proves the audio and MIDI foundation.
Read the 0.1.0 changes ↗- Native Qt application with real stereo PipeWire/JACK output.
- JACK MIDI input and event monitoring with sample offsets.
- Silent startup, opt-in diagnostic DSP and sample-based metering.
- Persistent preferences, logging and visible connection errors.
03 / Made for the Linux desktop
Native by design.
C++20 for the engine. Qt 6 for the interface. A carefully defined boundary between real-time audio and everything else.
