A free, AGPL-licensed Windows DAW built for one job: taking existing audio apart and putting it back together. Slice to the grid, chop non-destructively, tempo and key detected on import, vinyl-style scratch patterns recorded and edited — and stem separation that runs locally, no account, no cloud, nothing leaving the machine. Version 1.2.0, Windows only, VST still on the roadmap. That is the trade: a tool that refuses to become a platform, from a developer who cold-emailed a blog. Sample culture has spent a decade renting its own tools back from the companies that harvested it. This points the other way.
