First beta of Pattern Forge for Windows.

Pattern Forge is a live-coding music workstation you can actually play: Strudel patterns in the
code drawer, a step sequencer, a 61-key piano dock with a real synth engine behind it, 80 genre
styles, a pack store, a mixer and recorder that export WAV, Opus, stems, MIDI and a DAW kit, and a
3D dancer that moves with the music. It is the same app as the free in-browser version at
moddys.net/forge — this is that app in its own window, by itself.

A look at the Windows build — the full gallery is at https://moddys.net/forge/shots.html:

The workstation — tracks, steps, live code, the desk and the dock
The SOUND desk opened on SYNTH — voice, patch, performance mix, scenes, tuning, hardware, the mod matrix
The desk's MIX blend — the pattern and the live synth over it
The desk closed to its bar
The dancer, in its own window

More — the mixer, the recorder, export, packs, Kody and the piano dock — plus captions, in the gallery: https://moddys.net/forge/shots.html

In this release

  • PatternForge-Setup-1.0b.exe — the installer. Per-user (no admin prompt), Start Menu entry and
    desktop shortcut, upgrades install straight over the top, clean uninstall from Add/Remove.
    It is not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen will say it hasn't seen this app before — More info,
    then Run anyway.
  • PatternForge-Setup-1.0b.exe.zip — the same installer as a zip, byte for byte: the exact file
    moddys.net/moddys-downloads.html serves.
  • PatternForge-1.0b-source.zip — the corresponding source for this build (AGPL-3.0-or-later): the
    app build frozen into the installer, the src/ tree it is assembled from, the Electron shell, the
    installer script, the build and verification tools, and every third-party manifest. The vendor
    blobs themselves come from their own upstream URLs — VENDOR.json carries the url and sha256 of
    each.

Good to know

  • Windows 10/11, 64-bit. The app opens with no network at all — the engine, the 3D rigs and the
    sample maps are inside the install. Sample audio still streams from its own CDNs, so a
    sample-based drum machine or soundfont wants a connection; the built-in synth, your installed
    packs and everything you record work offline.
  • Your projects, takes, installed packs and settings live in %APPDATA%\PatternForge. The installer
    never touches that folder and the uninstaller keeps it by default — installing again picks up
    where you left off. Nothing is sent anywhere.
  • Verified on this exact payload: the 48-check desktop suite on the installed program, 22 checks
    with every non-local request blocked, and a silent install → upgrade → uninstall journey that
    leaves your data intact. The web build inside the installer is byte-identical to the one live
    at moddys.net/forge (d00d17d8).
  • This is a beta — if something breaks, tell me: modtech@gmail.com.
