Visual Patch Editing

Visual editing of Modular Synthesis Patches is a key feature of Trilobite, and this user guide really only serves as an introduction and cursory reference. Please visit the Darwin Arts web site to check for tutorials and instructional videos.

Trilobite provides a limited palette of simple modular synthesis modules which may be connected together in a completely arbitrary way to enable signal flow between them, thus creating an audio patch instrument or effect. The Visual Patch Editor is a software tool for manually building these patches with an intuitive user interface, as opposed to the Trilobite Evolution Editor, which enables automated evolution of new patches from old ones.
