Polyphonic Analog Engine

NeonSynth

The beating heart of NeonDAW. Two analog oscillators, a resonant filter and sixteen voices of stereo unison take you from glassy keys to towering pads and basslines that move air. Every one of its 36 presets arrives finished — chorus, delay and reverb already dialed in — so loading one puts you halfway to a track.

Sampled Grand

NeonPiano

A real Steinway B, captured note by note across three dynamic layers — from a hushed pianissimo to a full-throated forte. Deep and resonant under your hands, and because every sample lives in memory it answers the instant you touch a key. The kind of piano you sit down at and lose an hour to.

Vocal Ensemble

NeonChoir

Real voices, stacked into a section that breathes. Every note is a group of singers recorded together, so the tiny differences between them give it that goosebump-inducing human shimmer. Morph between AH and OO on a single knob to move from bright and open to dark and far away — instant cinematic weight for any track.

FX Plugins

Advanced FX, Included

Each effect is made from scratch using established DSP methods — a Dattorro plate reverb, a biquad EQ, an oversampled waveshaper for distortion. Chain them together, add them to any track.

Pitch Correction

NeonPitch

Lock your vocals to pitch-perfect in real time — set the key and NeonPitch handles the rest. Ease it back for a transparent polish that just sits right, or crank it for that unmistakable snapped, robotic tune. Humanize keeps the vibrato and phrasing intact, so corrected never means lifeless.

NeonEQ

Shape any sound with your eyes as much as your ears. The live spectrum glows behind the curve while you grab eight bands and pull them into place — clear out mud, add a lift of air, or notch out exactly what's bothering you. The EQ you'll reach for on every track.

NeonVerb

From a tight, intimate room to a tail that hangs in the air forever, NeonVerb wraps your sound in space. Its classic plate gives vocals a silky sheen and drums somewhere to breathe, with pre-delay and tone on hand to tuck it perfectly into the mix.

Compose & Arrange

Writing, editing and arranging.

NeonDAW includes everything you need to build a track: a MIDI editor, automation, a chord pad and a drum machine.

MIDI Editor

A full-window piano roll.

Draw and edit notes, set the velocity of each one, and quantize to the grid. The editor opens in its own window, and every edit plays back through the track's instrument and effects as you make it.

  • Draw, resize and set the velocity of individual notes
  • Quantize, split, glue and nudge, with a snap grid you can toggle
  • Opens in a separate window and plays through the track live

Automation Lanes

Automate any parameter.

You can automate volume, pan, and any control on any instrument or effect. Draw a curve over time and edit it point by point — for filter sweeps, vowel changes, articulation switches, or anything else.

  • A lane for volume, pan and every plugin control
  • Draw and edit points, and shape the curve between them
  • Controls move in real time as automation plays back

Chord Pad

Play chords in any key.

Choose a key and scale, and the pad fills with the chords that fit — fourteen across two octaves, each labeled with its roman numeral. Adjust the voicing, add strum or humanize the timing, or run it through the arpeggiator. Play it from your computer keyboard, and save chord sets to reuse.

  • Chords for any key and scale
  • Voicing, strum, humanize, octave shift and an arpeggiator
  • Playable from the computer keyboard; save and load chord sets

Drum Machine

A step sequencer for drums.

A sixteen-step sequencer with sample kits included. Program a pattern and it loops while you play chords and melodies over it. You can load your own samples, and every drum runs through the same mixer and effects as the rest of the project.

  • Sixteen steps, with velocity and per-step settings
  • Built-in kits, plus your own samples
  • Runs at the same time as the chord pad

Assistant Link · MCP

MCP: Hand the tedious work to AI.

NeonDAW speaks MCP, so the AI assistant you already use can plug straight into your session. Just connect by giving your assistant the MCP server URL (find this in NeonDAW > Settings > Assistant). Ask for what you want in plain language, and it takes care of the fiddly parts while you keep your creative flow.

Claude Desktop ChatGPT desktop Codex Claude Code Cursor Any MCP client

You direct. It does the legwork.

Setting up tracks, quantizing a loose take, evening out velocities, drawing a fade, laying down a scaffold to build on — the tedious stuff that pulls you out of the moment. Ask for it, and it's handled.

  • Spin up tracks and dial in instruments & presets
  • Quantize timing and smooth out velocities
  • Draw automation — volume rides, filter sweeps, fades
  • Sketch a beat or chord bed for you to shape
  • Import a MIDI file and split it across tracks
  • Set levels, panning and the balance of the mix

Every move is a normal edit — it plays back in the app and undoes with ⌘Z. Nothing happens that you can't take back.
