Get started

This path uses a template, so you hear sound in the first minute and change it in the second.

1. Open tune.toys and choose New Toy. The chooser offers Effect, Instrument, Template and Blank starting points, and AI recipes if generation is enabled. Pick the Warm Echo template.
2. Choose Preview to hear the template with the included demo input. Browsers only start audio after you click, so nothing plays by surprise.
3. Move the Time, Feedback and Mix controls in the Frame. These are the playable controls the template author placed.
4. Choose Create. You now own an independent copy with its own identity. Your earlier work on this device is kept before the new Toy opens.
5. Open Patch to see the nodes and cables behind the sound. Select a node and press F1 or ? to open its documentation beside the canvas.
6. Open Frame to move and restyle the controls. Changing a Frame never changes the sound; changing the Patch never moves a control.
7. Press Cmd/Ctrl+S to save. You choose between a copy on this device and an account draft. Saving never publishes.
8. When you want to share it, choose Publish, review access (public, unlisted or private), and confirm. Only the server's confirmation shows the success screen and the playable link.
