Isn't it exactly like Operator in Ableton?
CarlSolovox · October 20 2025
In Live 12 I can't get it to make any sound.

No sound in Live 10 Suite.

the issue seems to be that the device isn't frozen properly.

Sorry about that everyone! I have re-uploaded the frozen version; please let me know if it works now.

@bogdanperegubko: Operator is amazing and I use it all the time, but it is not knob-per-function, has a bit of menu diving (so it's harder to map to a Midi controller), and is algorithm driven, not freeform modulation. This is more like a software version of the Humble Audio Quad Operator. Hope you enjoy it! Thanks.
