Preset Mutator
Create Vital preset starts from scratch, from one preset, or from one short audio source.
Preset Mutator is a local-first browser tool for fast sound-design sketching. It is built for usable starting points, not final automated mix-ready magic.
Runs locally in your browser. No AI preset generation. No uploads or stored presets/audio.
Free mode generates 3 Vital starts. Pro unlocks 32-preset packs and ZIP export. Gumroad is the default checkout; PayPal is available if you prefer it.
Processing happens in the browser, so source material does not need to be uploaded.
No AI generation: presets are built from local rules and curated seed data.
Purchase-code unlock keeps the first release simple while the workflow is still young.
Default
From Scratch
Start with intent, mood, register, and shape controls. Best when you want a quick playable idea without feeding the app a source file.
Preset source
Mutate Preset
Load one `.vital` preset and create related variations while keeping the original identity close enough to refine in Vital.
Audio source
Audio to Preset
Analyze one short sound locally and turn it into Vital preset directions. Best for simple tones, textures, drones, and focused one-shots.
Roadmap
Vital first, then expansion
Vital is the stable first target. Serum 2 and Pigments 7 should come after the core workflows are proven and easier to support.
Free vs Pro
Keep the free version useful, make Pro about volume and export speed.
Free
- 3 Vital preset starts per workflow.
- Manual download of generated presets.
- Local browser processing and no account requirement.
Pro
- 32-preset pack generation.
- ZIP export for faster preset collection building.
- One-time purchase-code unlock for this browser.
Release focus
The strongest next step is to finish the Vital workflow, prove that people want it, then add Serum 2 and Pigments 7 support without renaming the product again.
