Scrapbook
Playground
A playground for sound. Drop anything in, cut it into scraps, pin them to the page and play the whole collage like an instrument. There’s no finished — only next.

Cut sound into scraps, pin them to the page, and play the whole mess like it means something.
Scrapbook Playground turns anything you feed it — a field recording, a half-remembered loop, a kettle, a passing train — into raw material. Slice it, smear it, wire it up and reshuffle it until an accident starts to sound like a decision. Every clip is a scrap of paper; drag it into a zone, cable it to another, freeze it, or roll the dice. Nothing is precious, nothing is final.
How it plays
Drag sounds in
Drop audio or record a take. It loops the moment it lands.
Push into zones
Closer to a zone's heart = more of its effect. Space is the mix.
Draw the wobble
Sketch your own squiggly LFOs. Wonky lines make the best character.
Hit Chaos
Set the zones loose and record whatever lovely thing emerges.
Five effect zones
Wave, Scratchy, Vertical, Dotted, Circles.
Hand-drawn LFOs
Your line, your character.
Generative chaos
Zones interact on their own.
Live performance
Play the faders, hit record.
Export stems
Every layer, ready to go.
Snapshot ideas
Keep the moments you love.
Freeze
Granular effect — hold a sound in place.
Time-stretch
Drag a clip to stretch or squash it.
EQ filter
Drag a clip from the top to filter it.
Sound editor
Dive into a dedicated editor for finer edits.
Sampler keyboard
Play your sounds across the keys.
Record anything in
Your instruments, mic, desktop audio — or sample the whole scrapbook's output.
Turn the sound on — this is what it does.
