Run the installer.
Then play your creations.

Open Explore sounds and choose Synths. Pick Horizon Forge, Glacial Keys or Obsidian Bass. Add modules to the Sound map. Connect a sound output to an input to change the route. Purple movement cables change a control over time. Press ASDFGHJKL or click the keyboard to hear your synth. WETYUOP play the black keys; Z and X move down or up an octave.

You choose the sound sources, the connections between them, the movement, and the four controls on the finished panel. You are designing a small instrument around the sound and performance you want. Other modular synths can also build custom instruments; Tunary brings that process into your Sound map and personal faceplate.

A new synth waits for your keys. Choose Arpeggiator to turn a held chord into a pattern, or Melody machine to play a saved melody automatically. Edit each step’s note, strength, length, chance and repeats. You can also change the speed, swing, direction and octave range. Stop audio stops playback.

The synth creates its own wind, rain, water, ice and bird-like textures. Each texture follows the notes you play. They are synthesized sounds, not field recordings or copies of SILT or NIVREN.

Use Tunary Creator Player on a software instrument track. Synths need Creator Player and Library version 0.9 or later. Creator FX is for audio effects. Keep your older standalone Tunary instruments; they are separate products. Your saved synth uses the same panel design in Creator and Creator Player.

No. Run the free Tunary Mac installer once. It installs Library and both Creator players for you. Behind those three tools are seven installed products: Library; standalone, Audio Unit and VST3 versions of Creator FX; and standalone, Audio Unit and VST3 versions of Creator Player. You do not need to choose folders or copy files.

They let the same Tunary player open in different music software. Logic and GarageBand use the Audio Unit version. Many other compatible music apps use VST3. The installer adds both automatically; choose the format your music app shows and do not load both on the same track.

Open Tunary Library from Applications on your Mac. Open Creator FX or Creator Player inside your music app, such as Logic. Library downloads your creations; the players let you use them in your music.

For a Synth Creator instrument, create a software instrument track, open Tunary Creator Player in its Instrument slot, choose your creation and play notes. A self-generating instrument uses the same Player but starts from its Play button. For an effect, choose an audio track with sound playing, click an Audio FX slot, open Tunary Creator FX and choose your effect.

Save your work, close your music app and reopen it. Give it time to scan the new plugins. In Logic, look for Tunary Creator Player in an Instrument slot and Tunary Creator FX in an Audio FX slot. Your creation’s own name appears inside its player.

No. Library connects to your website account and downloads your creations. Creator Player makes instrument sounds. Creator FX changes sound that is already playing on a track.

No. Your creations use the included Tunary Creator players. You only need Tunary and a supported music app, such as Logic.

Not for the Mac installer. It puts the app and plugins in the right folders automatically. If Tunary support gives you a manual replacement file, follow the instructions supplied with that file.

Tunary Library connects to your account and downloads your creations. Tunary Creator FX plays your audio effects. Tunary Creator Player plays your self-generating instruments and playable Synth Creator instruments. One free installer includes all three tools in the seven formats and products your Mac needs.

A tool that runs inside your music app. An instrument makes sound. An effect changes sound that is already playing. Your creations open inside the Tunary players.

Click Install Tunary in the top menu. Read the Mac requirements, then download and open the Mac installer. It includes Library and both player plugins.

Yes. You can make, hear and save creations on the website first. You need the free installation to use them in your music app.

No. Install Tunary once and connect your account. Add each creation from the website. You may need to update the Tunary apps from time to time.

Open Tunary Creator Player or Tunary Creator FX in your music app. Your creation appears inside it, under its own name. Each creation does not add a separate plugin to your music app’s list.

Yes, for up to 30 days after a successful licence check, unless your licence or computer access ends sooner. Open Library while online before you go offline. If permission expires, sound can stop until you reconnect. Your saved project is kept. Keep audio backups for important performances.

Your music project keeps the version you saved with it. A newer version does not replace it on its own. You choose when to load the update.

Install Tunary and make your own verified account. Open the seller’s Tunary buying link, pay through their Gumroad checkout using the same email, then return to check your purchase. Connect Library to bring it to your computer. No extra credits or selling subscription needed. If you already have a private code, use Add your purchase.

No. A file alone does not give you permission to use a creation. Ask the seller for their Tunary buying link so the purchase is added to your own account. If they already supplied a private access code, use Add your purchase. Never use another person’s password.

Contact the seller first for help using their creation, order questions or refunds. If they cannot resolve a Tunary installation, player or licence problem, they escalate it to Tunary and keep you informed. Contact Tunary directly for private account or security issues.

Synth Creator is the playable-instrument side of Creator. Start with Horizon Forge, Glacial Keys or Obsidian Bass, connect sound and movement modules on the Sound map, then play the result with a MIDI keyboard, the on-screen keyboard or your computer keys.

A self-generating instrument makes and plays its own notes when you press Play. A Synth Creator instrument waits for notes from you unless you add its Arpeggiator or Melody machine. Both open in Tunary Creator Player and can use the same Faceplate, panel controls, MIDI upgrade and tempo sync.

Open Explore sounds, choose Synths, and start with Horizon Forge, Glacial Keys or Obsidian Bass. Add or connect modules in the Sound map. Click the keyboard or use ASDFGHJKL for white keys and WETYUOP for black keys; Z and X change octave. In Logic, load Creator Player as an Audio Unit instrument and play it from a MIDI track or controller.

Yes, when you choose Arpeggiator or Melody machine. The Arpeggiator turns held notes into a pattern. Melody machine plays the saved steps and lets you edit note, strength, length, chance, repeats, speed, swing, direction and octave range.

No. Start with a preset and listen while you change its controls. A self-playing instrument makes its own notes. Synth Creator also lets you build a playable synth visually by connecting modules. You choose the sound, playing behavior and look.

An effect needs sound to change. In the browser, choose a recording and press Play. In your music app, put Tunary Creator FX on a track with sound playing through it.

They show where sound goes. Drag a sound’s wire to Path A or Path B to use those effects. Choose the direct path to skip them. Output effects change the sounds after they join together.

MIDI Out sends generated notes to another instrument; it does not send recorded sound. Tempo Sync follows the tempo supplied by a compatible music app and the faceplate shows Locked to the live BPM. Tempo sync is included at no extra cost. MIDI output is US$1.50 / 30 credits once per creation, or included while either selling subscription is active. A credit purchase stays with that creation. In Logic and GarageBand, Tunary makes its MIDI output available automatically. Other hosts use their normal AU or VST3 MIDI routing.

Yes. Buying MIDI permanently adds the MIDI Out ON/OFF control to that creation. The switch only decides whether notes are being sent now; turning it off does not remove your purchase. The Sound map, Faceplate and finished plugin use the same saved setting.

No. Creator checks the saved creation’s ownership before calculating the total. If MIDI is already unlocked, Complete creation crosses out MIDI output, labels it already unlocked and charges US$0 for it. Buying or switching MIDI on in one Creator screen is recognised everywhere for that creation.

Use the Audio Unit Creator Player on a software instrument track. Turn MIDI Out on when you want generated notes and turn Follow song tempo on when you want the creation locked to Logic. The faceplate shows Logic’s live BPM. Tunary also provides its generated notes through Tunary MIDI Out so Logic can record them without an extra plugin-routing chain.

Resolve 21 on Mac recognises the Tunary Audio Units. Use Tunary Creator FX for audio-post tracks. Resolve is not a Logic-style musical instrument host, so generated MIDI recording and song-BPM locking are not promised there. Creator Player may appear in Resolve’s plugin scan even though Resolve does not provide the instrument workflow it needs.

Open Settings in the top menu and change your hint preference. You can also change preview preferences there.

If you are signed in, open Settings and choose the password option. If you cannot sign in, click Forgot password on the sign-in form and follow the email.

Open Panel controls. For an instrument, try Simple, Balanced or Hands-on for a suggested layout. Manual lets you choose from a small set of useful controls. Drag a control onto the panel, or click to add it. For an effect, drag a suggested control onto an existing knob to replace it.

Yes. Press Hear it, then turn a knob or change a switch on the faceplate. An effect needs a recording playing through it. Faceplate, Panel controls and Play panel use the same playing interface.

Click Edit beside a control to rename it. Where a remove button is shown, click × to remove the control. Effects keep their four main knobs: replace a knob’s control instead. Use the circular Undo and Redo arrows to move back and forward through your changes.

Yes. In Your image, click Use a metal finish instead. Choose another finish under The look. You can return to your uploaded artwork later.

Open Faceplate and click the outlined name field. Type your own name and watch it change on the panel. Naming your creation is free.

Yes. When you are short of credits for an action, the wallet offers the missing amount at US$0.05 per credit. The minimum purchase is US$1 / 20 credits. For example, 280 credits cost US$14. You can also choose 200 credits for US$10 or 500 for US$25. If you change the amount in Gumroad, each complete US$0.05 of the product payment buys one credit, before checkout tax. Any extra credits stay in your wallet.

Up to US$14 / 280 credits includes the US$10 creation unlock, US$1.50 MIDI output and US$2.50 custom artwork. It is the combined price, not a discount. Creator crosses out every item already owned, marks it no charge and removes it from the displayed total. Seller-plan upgrades are not charged twice. Tempo sync is included with the base creation.

Make changes by hand, listen, save, and return to your saved creations. Installing Tunary is also free. You choose when to spend credits.

Yes. Bought, trial and promotional credits can all pay for any action priced in credits. Selling subscriptions are paid in money, separately.

For example: unlock one creation for 200, add MIDI output for 30 and your own image for 50, leaving 220 credits.

No. Pay once for that creation. Later manual changes and personal downloads are included. Optional upgrades have their own one-time price. A separate creation needs its own unlock.

No. The 50-credit image upgrade covers future image changes for that same creation. An active selling subscription also includes custom image access.

No. Both selling plans include permission to sell eligible creations, your own front-panel brand, custom panel images, MIDI output while subscribed; tempo sync is included for everyone. Your first paid seller subscription includes one creation unlock, once per account. Additional unlocks use separate credits.

Return to your wallet and refresh the balance. Choose Already paid if the purchase has not appeared. Use your receipt to recover it or ask Tunary for help. Never send your password or full card details.

No. Your first verified paid seller subscription includes one complimentary creation unlock, once per account. Use it while subscribed on your next locked creation. It does not repeat when you renew, change plans, cancel or rejoin. It cannot be exchanged for cash. Other unlocks cost US$10 / 200 credits each.

During the current beta, every new customer receives 300 free credits automatically at signup, once per account. That is enough to unlock one playable synth, self-generating instrument or audio effect for 200 credits, add MIDI output for 30 credits and add a custom faceplate image for 50 credits, with 20 credits left. Verify your email before spending them. Credits can also fund Further creation unlocks cost 200 credits each. The first paid seller subscription has a separate one-time welcome unlock.

No. You receive 100% of the price you charge your buyer, minus Gumroad’s fees. Tunary takes no commission or share of your sales and receives no kickbacks or referral payments from Gumroad. Gumroad’s payout rules apply. You pay Tunary separately for your monthly or annual selling plan and any paid Creator features you choose, such as creation unlocks or optional upgrades. These are charges for using Creator, not a cut of what you sell.

Both plans include permission to sell eligible creations, your own front-panel branding, custom panel images, MIDI output while subscribed, plus delivery to each buyer’s own Tunary account. Tempo sync is included for everyone. The plans have the same features: US$30 monthly or US$300 yearly. Your first paid subscription includes one creation unlock, once per account. Additional unlocks are US$10 / 200 credits each.

No. You can use your valid personal creations to make and sell music. You need the selling subscription when you sell the playable synth, self-generating instrument or audio effect itself. You must also have the rights to any sounds or artwork you add.

US$30 each month, or US$300 each year in one payment. Plans renew automatically until cancelled. Credits, your store’s fees and any applicable taxes are separate.

In your own Gumroad account. Connect it in Set up my shop, match a Gumroad product to your Tunary creation, and share the Tunary buying link. Your buyer signs in, pays you on Gumroad and returns to check the purchase. Tunary verifies the sale and adds it to their account. You handle customer questions and refunds.

You, the seller, are the first point of contact. Put your support contact in your product listing and purchase instructions. Help buyers with your creation, how to use it, order questions and refunds. If you cannot resolve a problem with Tunary Creator FX, installation, account access or licence checks, escalate it to Tunary with the error message, steps to reproduce it, and the buyer’s computer, music app and Tunary versions. Get the buyer’s permission before sharing their account or order details. Keep the buyer informed while Tunary investigates the Tunary-related issue. Tunary does not take over support for your sound design, product promises or store refunds. Buyers can contact Tunary directly for private account or security issues.

They need the free Tunary players, their own verified account, a supported computer and internet access for setup and occasional licence checks. Tell them what you tested, the full price, delivery time, refund rules and how to contact you. Link the installation guide.

No. They pay your Gumroad product’s price. A verified purchase gives them access without a selling subscription or another 200-credit unlock.

No. Buyers run the free Tunary installer once. Library downloads their purchase. They open a playable synth or self-generating instrument inside Tunary Creator Player, or an audio effect inside Tunary Creator FX. Tell buyers this before they pay. Your creation keeps its own name and panel design, but needs its Tunary player to work. They do not need Kontakt.

Yes. While subscribed, you can put your brand on your creation’s front panel. The Tunary Library app and Creator players keep their Tunary names. You made the creation that runs inside the player; Tunary made the player. Licence checks and legal notices also keep the Tunary name.

Cancellation stops the next renewal. Selling benefits continue until your paid period ends. Then stop taking orders and remove your store listings. Tunary blocks new sales and first activations. Subscription-only MIDI output access ends unless you separately unlocked it with credits. Tempo sync stays included. Your valid personal creations remain usable. Existing activated buyers keep their purchases.

No. Buyers who already activated a valid purchase keep access when your subscription ends. They still follow their own account and licence rules. An unused code cannot activate after your selling permission ends; renew to deliver that order or refund the buyer.

No. Tunary stops its buying links and new activations when your plan ends. A direct Gumroad listing can still take payments, so you must remove it and stop taking orders yourself.

A copied file alone does not give another account permission to play it. Tunary checks the user, computer and licence. No system can make all copying impossible or instantly switch off a computer that is offline.

Open your Gumroad receipt or membership account and choose Manage membership. Cancel before renewal and keep the confirmation. Closing Tunary or switching off a creation does not cancel your payment plan.

Handle the refund in your store. If their Tunary access needs to be reviewed, contact Tunary with the order and licence details. A store refund does not automatically cancel their Tunary access.
