About this game
The developer's description, from the game's Steam store page.
Sixteen pads. Always live.
Nothing to arm. Nothing to route. Every pad is playable the moment the app opens, and stays playable while you edit, mix and arrange around it.
RXB Workstation is a pad-first production and mixing workstation. Four sample layers per pad, a 32-step grid with per-step velocity, pan, probability and ratchet, and a mixer with real bus structure underneath it.
Draw a pattern, hear it change
- Sixteen pads across four banks, with four independent sample layers each
- A 32-step grid with per-step velocity, pan, probability and ratchet
- Sixteen scenes for patterns and arrangement
- Keygroup mode turns any bank into a chromatic instrument, mapped to a root note and scale
- Edits land while the transport runs, so you hear the change under your hands
A mixer with buses that mean something
- Five summing buses (drums, music, vox, FX and backing) each with level, pan, mute, solo and routing
- Per-pad bus assignment, so the drums fader actually moves the drums
- LUFS metering (momentary, short-term, integrated) and true peak
- Spectrum analyser and master gain-reduction metering
- Three-band parametric EQ per pad, and on the keygroup bus
- Sidechain compression with a selectable source pad, depth, attack and release
Eight backing-track lanes
- A multi-lane DAW view for stems and backing tracks, sharing one timeline with your song sections
- Per-lane volume, pan, mute, solo and clip trimming
- Import WAV, AIFF, MP3, M4A, FLAC, OGG and WMA up to 256 MB
- Lanes stay locked to the arrangement as it plays
Chop without destroying
- Slice markers placed by hand, automatically, or at equal divisions
- Commit chops straight to pads
- Time-stretch with a pitch-preserving mode, or repitch
- Every operation is non-destructive against the source file
Build the song, then play the song
- Song mode arranges scenes into sections with bar counts and half-bar granularity, for turnarounds and pickups
- Per-section bank and tempo overrides
- A clip launcher for triggering scenes live, quantised to the bar
- Export the whole arrangement to WAV or MP3 as a real-time bounce
And it runs the lights
- Art-Net DMX output over your local network
- Master dimmer, beat sync and eight lighting scenes
- Driven from the same transport as the music
Made to be owned
- Runs fully offline. No account, no subscription, no internet connection required at any point
- Projects are folders on your disk, and Collect + Save bundles every sample dependency into a portable project
- Automatic backup on every save, keeping the last three versions
- The factory sound library was synthesised by RXB's own audio engine. It is first-party content, and the licence grants you commercial use of whatever you make with it
System requirements
- Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit
- 4 GB RAM minimum, 8 GB recommended, 16 GB for heavy sessions

Latency and voice count depend on your hardware and audio stack, so results vary between machines.
