Sound engines

Two layers per channel. Twelve ways to sculpt sound and rhythm.

Every channel carries independent Layer A and Layer B engines with continuous morphing between them — from a finite-difference plate solver to Braids and Plaits ports, FM bass, chords, through eight-deep filter chains, into a hardware-modelled console.

Mesh 2D FDTD plate oscillatorPhysical modeling

Mesh 2D FDTD plate oscillator

A real-time 2D finite-difference time-domain plate solver running on 8-wide SIMD. Five boundary geometries (Circle, Square, Ellipse, Hexagon, Chladni), dynamic re-strike interference, physical choke and damping, a live 16×16 modal vibration heatmap and up to four virtual pickups.

  • No machine-gun re-strike
  • 14 LFO targets

Modulation matrix

Forty modulators per layer. Four hundred and fifty targets.

Four LFOs, four envelopes, four Marbles and seven mathematical generators per layer, each with fifteen routing slots. Patch anything to anything with animated cables — then play it all from eleven macros.

Standalone plugin hosting

Turn the whole matrix into a brain for your other plugins.

In Standalone mode TOMiC becomes a host: third-party CLAP and Omniplugin instruments sit inside a channel’s OSC or NOISE slot, and external effects sit in the chain — all driven by the sequencer, modulators and macros.

External instruments on OSC & NOISEStandalone

External instruments on OSC & NOISE

Replace a layer’s oscillator or noise section with an external CLAP synth or one of Omni’s WASM Omniplugin instruments — up to four per channel. Each slot exposes twenty of the plugin’s parameters as fully modulatable TOMiC knobs with automatic MRU mapping.

  • CLAP + Omniplugin
  • 4 slots / channel
  • 20 host knobs / slot
  • Always-On mode
In-process CLAP effects on every channelStandalone

In-process CLAP effects on every channel

Eight external effect slots per channel and on the master bus, eight modulation lanes per slot, and a soft circuit breaker that silences a hung plugin instead of freezing the engine. Offline render parity included.

  • 8 FX slots / channel + master
  • 8 mod lanes
  • Soft circuit breaker
  • Offline render parity

Artchemy visual engine

Every hit paints. Stream it to the stage.

TOMiC turns groove triggers, rhythms, and modulator trajectories into live procedural art — for VJ sets, streams and OBS scenes, without touching the audio thread.

16 procedural brushes, 14 affects

Splatter, ink blot, stardust, particles, fractals, networks, tunnel, cellular automata, double pendulum and kaleidoscope symmetry.

WebSocket VJ streaming

Stream the live canvas to a browser, projector or OBS browser source on 127.0.0.1 with zero CPU penalty to the audio engine.

Audio-reactive hooks

Map velocity, gate length, pitch tracking and LFOs to brush density, hue rotation and gravity forces.

Questions, answered

Which formats and hosts are supported?

TOMiC ships as VST3, CLAP and a standalone application (64-bit). It runs in OMNi DAW, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Reaper, Bitwig, Cubase and Studio One, among others.

Windows, Linux — what about macOS?

Windows 10 / 11 and Linux are supported, including a dedicated build for older Windows CPUs without AVX2. There is currently no macOS build.

How does licensing work?

Enter your email on the order page and you receive payment instructions plus a unique license key. The key activates automatically once payment is received. One payment, all future updates.

Where do I download the installer?

The Windows, Linux and legacy-CPU installers are linked directly on the order page. Your license key arrives by email when you place the order and activates automatically once payment is received.

Is plugin hosting available inside my DAW?

Hosting third-party CLAP and Omniplugin instruments and effects is a Standalone-mode feature. In VST3 / CLAP mode inside another host, TOMiC behaves as a regular instrument plugin.

Put TOMiC in your DAW

Windows and Linux. VST3, CLAP and standalone. Works in OMNi DAW, Ableton Live, FL Studio, Reaper, Bitwig, Cubase and Studio One.
