Ways to teach with WAX

Music production

Play instruments, make beats, arrange and record the result.

VueSynth in WAX, with a waveform, six knobs, and a keyboard

Audio programming

Write code that you can hear. Edit it, and the sound changes.

Sound design

Explore synthesis, sampling and creative sound effects.

An entire world of sound. Inside your DAW.

Access instruments and effects from the WAX library, the web, or your own creations. Discover, remix, and make them part of your lesson, all within your session.

Explore. Remix. Share.

A device can be an instrument, an experiment, and a starting point.

1

Open a device

Start from a WAX device in the library.
