Introduction

sound-to-patch gives a producer a starting point in a synth for one sound. Vital and Serum 2 are the target synths, and Vital comes first. It has two paths:

• Audio path. One stem of one instrument and its BPM go in. The notes as notes.mid and a preset for the target synth come out (preset.vital or preset.SerumPreset), with an explanation.md that says how the preset works and which controls to turn next.
• Text path. The producer describes the sound in their own words. An agent turns the description into a preset and its explanation, and into notes when the description asks for them.

The project is at an early release. sound-to-patch analyze reads a stem and writes a report of its tempo, notes, level, spectrum, band edge and stereo image with a spectrogram, as the analysis guide shows. sound-to-patch preset inspect prints the header and the decoded settings of a Vital preset, and sound-to-patch preset apply writes one from an edit list, as the preset guide shows. The layer estimators and the text path arrive in later releases.

The API documentation covers the library. The development chapters describe how the project is tested and released.
