01
Possible was never the problem
Each of these could be built from a rack of plugins and enough clicking. i4 drops thirty seconds of its own output onto a pad, back at the top of the chain; you could rig that from a bus and a sampler and never play it live. One window you can perform is the job.
02
A reference, not a spec
None of these model a specific circuit. Enzyme evokes the Protein's lo-fi bite with bitcrush, sample-rate reduction and waveshaping rather than reproducing a wavetable engine. The reference is a target, not a spec.
03
Version numbers you can check
These are at v0.1, v0.4 and v1.0, and the pages say so. What is finished is listed, what is queued is listed, and where a README overpromises against the build, the build wins.
Socket
Build an instrument out of blocks, and hear it before it exists. Drag blocks onto a plugin window, wire the signal path, patch modulation with cables — and hear it, because the engine underneath is the same C++ the three instruments run on.
