Glob Studio

Glob Studio is the music studio inside Glob Social. You can write notes and drum parts, arrange a song, shape instruments, connect your own sound modules and mix the result. It runs in your browser over the Glob Social canvas.

Start with your first project, or use the workspace guide to find a control. You need to be signed in to see the music tools where they are enabled.

Write and perform#

• Arrangement: place repeating musical phrases on a timeline.
• Piano roll and drum roll: draw, move and edit notes.
• Clip launcher: start individual loops or a column of loops together.
• Playing and recording notes: use your computer keyboard or a MIDI keyboard.
• Automation: draw how a control changes through a song.
• Keyboard shortcuts: editing, transport and control gestures.

Shape the sound#

The eight factory instruments provide starting points for synths, samples and drums. The Drum Rack has five voices you can shape separately. Presets and search help you reuse sounds.

Use modulation and macros to move controls automatically or combine several movements under one knob. Put effects after an instrument, and use the mixer to balance tracks and send them to shared effect channels.

For a sound you want to build yourself, open the modular Grid. Its references cover sources, processors, control and sequence modules, and sampling. You can also make a custom device with your own control interface.

Keep and share your work#

Projects explains browser saves and versions saved to Glob. Exporting audio covers the full song, a loop and separate track stems. A WAV is a rendered audio file; the project is the editable musical work that produced it.

When you are ready for other people to hear it, publish your track. That page also explains the visible collaborator and credit controls. Read copyright and music before publishing material you did not make yourself.
