Fundamentals
The vocabulary Route uses, and how the pieces fit together. Start here.
- Projects The document you work in, and the tree of material inside it.
- Patches A graph of nodes and cables, and why one idea covers both an oscillator and a whole instrument.
- Nodes and faceplates One instance of a module, sample, or sequence on the canvas, and the controls drawn on its face.
- Pins and cables Three kinds of signal, each drawn in its own colour, and pins that only accept their own kind.
- Modules The only thing in Route that makes or changes signal, written in Cmajor.
- Samples and sequences The other two kinds of material a project holds, each with its own editor and its own node.
- How a patch runs What happens between changing a patch and hearing it, and why there is no interpreter in the middle.
- The library Installed material and the community catalog in one browser, addressed by content hash.
- Prompts and agents Change a node by describing it, or let an external agent drive Route over MCP.
