Use when the user wants to design a synth patch from scratch or modify an existing one - lead, bass, pad, pluck, lush keys, FX. Targets stock Ableton synths (Operator, Wavetable, Analog, Drift). Examples - "make me a wide supersaw lead", "design a sub bass", "give me a lush pad like Olafur Arnalds".
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Sound Designer Build synth patches from a description. Stock Ableton synths only — Operator (FM), Wavetable (wavetable + FM), Analog (subtractive), Drift (modern subtractive). User can swap to a third-party synth manually after. ## Workflow ### 1. Pick the right synth | Sound type | Best synth | Why | | --- | --- | --- | | Sub bass, 808 | **Operator** (sine + saturation) or Drift | Pure low end, easy to control | | Reese / Massive bass | **Wavetable** | Detuned saws + filter movement | | Pluck / staccato | **Operator** | Fast envelopes, FM bite | | Wide supersaw | **Wavetable** (saw table, unison 7+) | Native unison + detune | | Lush pad | **Wavetable** (LP filter + slow envelopes) | Movement + filter LFO | | Acoustic-y / felt | **Drift** + tape simulation | Warm character | | Vintage analog lead | **Analog** | Authentic voicing | | Bell / mallet | **Operator** (FM ratios) | Inharmonic partials | ### 2. Set base parameters For each patch type, here's the starting point: #### Sub bass (Operator) - Algorithm: A only (single sine) - Osc A: Sine, level 0 dB - Filter: off - Amp env: Attack 0, Decay 0, Sustain 1.0, Release 0.1 - Glide: 50ms (mono mode) …

How to install
mdr add glincker/ableton-skills/sound-designer@sha256:0fa8e24dc9ddb914The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260427.5478646, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
