sonicLAB has announced an update to its AI-assisted additive synthesizer. Version 4.1 of Fundamental exposes its sound engine through the Model Context Protocol, so any MCP-compatible LLM client can drive synthesis directly.
Describe sweeps, modulation, sonic progressions, or physics-inspired processes in plain English — the LLM generates the preset and Fundamental 4.1 loads it instantly. Works with Claude Desktop and Gemini CLI.
By using your existing subscription on Claude or Gemini, the MCP server does not cost extra fees beyond your existing LLM plan. It provides persistent memory such as the conversations stay in context; so you can iterate: shift a chord up 50 Hz, add Cauchy modulation, sweep it down to sub-bass — each instruction builds on the last.
A free update for Fundamental 4 users, new customers can purchase Fundamental for Windows and macOS (VST3, AU and standalone) for £99 GBP.
