Residue

A free MIDI instrument with eight hand-designed timbres — marble, kintsugi, glass, paper. Each modeled after a physical texture rather than a synthesis school, and played like any instrument: amp envelope, polyphonic, MPE-friendly.

What it does

Eight textures.
All free.

Each timbre is hand-designed rather than synthesized from a single algorithm, so the eight characters each have a clear purpose — a melodic layer that doesn't fight other instruments, or a free starting point for sound design.

Eight timbres

Marble, kintsugi, glass, paper, stone, ember, ribbon, dust — each with its own envelope and harmonic personality.

MPE-friendly

Per-note pitch bend, slide and pressure work natively on MPE controllers, up to 32 voices.

A starting point

Great as a melodic bed under a vocal, an atmospheric layer in a cue, or raw material to resample.
