Instruments for the architecture of sound.
48 instruments and effects, a mastering suite, a mini-DAW with eight genre templates and 2,075 factory presets — one suite, built for melodic and peak-time techno, progressive, tech, afro, bass and deep house and dub techno.
Every module, live in your browser.
Turn the same SIMPLE-face macros the plugins ship with. Each module is a lightweight web recreation — press Play to hear it; nothing makes a sound until you do.
Synths
Wavetables, ladders, nebulae and patch cables — every voice plays right here.
Low End
Kick, sub and rolling bass, sculpted to lock together.
Drums
Synthesised kits with their own designers. Tap a pad, program a row.
Movement
Drawn curves, step-sequenced effects, risers and performance dials.
Effects
Space, time, tone and texture over a built-in loop.
Dynamics
Punch, glue and safety — watch the gain reduction move.
Mix & Master
Loudness, imaging and analysis that tell you the truth.
Tools & DAW
Idea generators, MIDI tools and the ARKITEKT DAW itself.
One suite. Every room of the record.
Synthesis, drums, space, dynamics and mastering — designed as one family, so every plugin speaks the same visual language.
Ark Synth. Depth you can play.
A wavetable instrument with the depth of a modular and the speed of a preset browser.

Ark Summit. See the peak before you climb it.
A complete mastering suite that shows you the peak — and how every platform will hear it. A full mastering chain, always-on analysis, loudness-matched references and a Distribution panel that previews how streaming platforms and club systems will treat your master.
- Always-on analysis: spectrum against targets, stereo per band, LUFS / LRA / true-peak / PLR history and tonal balance bars
- Reference A/B with up to 8 tracks — loudness-matched, with a loop region and side-by-side metrics
- Distribution panel: preview platform loudness normalisation, codec-clip risk and mono compatibility before you export
- MATCH to a reference or a genre target (with undo), translation checks for mono, small speaker, car, club and earbuds, delta and level-matched compare, snapshots A–D with XY morph
ARKITEKT DAW. Sketch to master, in one window.
A mini-DAW with a mastering stage — sketch, arrange, mix and finish in one window.
