Roadmap

​

Audio Engine

• Audio tracks — full audio track support
• Audio / MIDI recording — record audio and MIDI input directly into the timeline
• Audio Lyria generation — AI-powered audio generation via Lyria
• MIDI mapping — map external MIDI controllers to parameters
• Don’t truncate sends / inputs — preserve the full signal chain for sends and inputs

​

Editing & Sequencing

• Looping — loop regions and clips
• Audio editing — cut, trim, fade, and arrange audio clips
• Quantization — snap notes and audio to the grid
• Swing — apply swing / groove templates to MIDI and audio
• Parameter automation — draw and record automation curves for any parameter
• Automated comp’ing — automatically select the best takes from multiple recordings

​

Instruments & Effects

• Sampler — built-in sample-based instrument
• Expansion slots — hot-swappable slots for plugins and MIDI effects

​

Agentic System

• Meta prompt, rules, and memory — editable directly in-app
• Plugin list & instructions — browse and configure available plugins from Settings
• List of available tools — surface all agent-callable tools so the system is smart about understanding what to do
• Stock plugins — ship a default plugin set so Songbird runs without any third-party plugins installed

​

Extensibility

• Code your own plugin — template / scaffold for authoring custom plugins
• Code your own agent — author custom agents that extend the agentic system
• Code your own MIDI editor — pluggable MIDI editor implementations
• Support for microtonal & frequency-based composition — alternative MIDI editor that works in frequencies instead of semitones

​

Media & Sync

• Video editor sync — drop in a video and watch it in precise sync with the audio timeline
