Build your own Patches with Patch Builder

Patch Builder combines up to four main sounds, plus an optional Extra sound, into one layered Patch.

Build a Patch

1. Pick a sound for Section 1. Click + at the top right of the Patch List and select the new Patch. In the Inspector, open Patch Library > User Patches > Patch Builder - Sunday Keys > Section 1 Sounds. Browse by instrument, then click names (or use the arrow keys) to audition sounds.
2. Pick a sound for Section 2. Add another Patch and choose from Section 2 Sounds. For example, a warm pad.
3. Add Sections 3 and 4 if you want. Each section holds one sound, and you don't have to fill them all. Most synth sounds tie their brightness to your mod wheel, so try sweeping it.
4. Add an Extra sound (optional). Add another Patch and choose from the Extra folder. The Extra section has no modifiers, so it's great for something steady like a synth bass, an arp texture, or a piano that won't change during the song.
5. Combine them. Click the first Patch, Shift-click the last, then click the gear at the top right of the Patch List and choose New Patch from Selected Patches. If a message appears, check Do not show this message again and click Create.

Shape the sound

Set each section's volume fader to how you want the Patch to start, and try the modifiers. Click any label to read what it does. A good way to learn: turn every section down except one, then try its modifiers one at a time.

Name and save it

1. Press Command-S to save your modifier settings with the Patch.
2. Double-click the Patch's name to rename it.
3. Press Command-E to export it into Patch Builder so you can find it again. See Save, export and keep your Patches.
