Creating Your First Patch
Write a prompt
Section titled “Write a prompt”Open the prompt field and describe a sound in plain language. Be specific about texture, movement, and register — Murmur’s mapper does better with “shimmering crystalline bell with a slow low-pass sweep” than with “cool sound.”
AI_AGENT // INPUT
“Shimmering crystalline bell texture with deep analog warm undertones that sweeps into a low pass wash”
Generate
Section titled “Generate”Submitting the prompt sends it to POST /api/v1/murmur/generate-preset
(see API reference), which returns a
patch, a validation result, and a slug you can use to revisit or share it.
The full mapping pipeline is explained in
Understanding Patch Generation.
Listen and adjust
Section titled “Listen and adjust”The generated patch loads immediately. From here you can:
- Play it as-is
- Nudge individual parameters (see Reference for what each one does)
- Regenerate with a refined prompt
Save the patch to your library from the toolbar. Saved patches sync through your account and are visible in Tidepool’s library view.
