Build Your First Patch
A simple starting patch is Oscillator -> Gain -> Output, with optional envelope and visualization.
Drag an Oscillator node into the graph, add a Gain node to control level, then connect Oscillator output to Gain input and Gain output to the Output node input. This gives you a minimal playable synth voice.
Once the patch is connected, start audio and select the oscillator node. You can now play notes from the computer keyboard, the inline piano, or an external MIDI controller.
Every selected node shows quick actions. You can add it to a group, remove it from a group, bypass it temporarily, open a support request, or delete it from the patch. When you delete a processor from a simple audio chain, AudioFlow keeps the main sound path connected when it can.
To rename a node, double-click its title, type the new name, then press Enter or click away to save it. Press Escape while editing to cancel.
- • Use the oscillator waveform selector to choose the initial tone shape.
- • Keep the gain moderate before routing into the output.
- • Add an Env node for a shaped attack/release and a Wave node for live visual feedback.
- • Use the node card controls to organize, mute-test, report an issue, request an improvement, or clean up the patch without leaving the canvas.
Patch Order
Source nodes should generally route into modifiers/effects and end at Output.
Start Audio
Use the Start Audio button in the library or click the speaker icon on the Output node.
Selection
Select nodes to rename them, bypass them, group them, or delete them.
Group Controls
Use the add-to-group and remove-from-group actions to manage how the node participates in performance groups.
Bypass / Delete
Bypass lets you test the patch without the node, while delete removes it and keeps the main sound path connected when possible.
Support
Open a contextual thread with admins for a node bug report or feature request.
