Common questions about accounts, downloads, and how each tool works.
Browsing the tools and reading guides never requires an account. Some tools are open to anyone, and some require a free account to use or to download — each product card shows which applies before you commit to anything.
Some things are free and some are paid, and every page states its price. Free: the plugins TABAN, ALEV, KIYMA (a $0 checkout that asks only for an e-mail address, no card), the Ableton rack packs on the preset packs page for signed-in members, Loom, the guides, and the browser tools within their daily free use. Paid, through Lemon Squeezy: KUBBE, KASET, KORO, YANKI, HAVA, MIHENK, TUTKAL (each on its own, or together as the SubverseLab plugin family for $19.99 until 1 November 2026), JING FANG, RU-8, SEDA, ELEK, the sample packs and RU-8 Drum Pack. Past a tool's daily free use, further uses cost credits; the tool's guide states the cost, and every dollar you pay for any purchase (before tax) adds 100 credits to your account.
Ask within 18 days of the purchase: write to info@subverselab.com with your order number and the e-mail address you paid with. Lemon Squeezy, the merchant of record, issues refunds and decides each one case by case. A refund ends the licence, closes the downloads and takes back the credits that order added. If a product does not install or run on a system its page lists, write first: most problems are an install step or a setting. Full policy: subverselab.com/refunds.
Where a tool applies a daily limit, the exact rule is documented on that tool’s guide. Mix Check allows members one completed analysis per IP address per UTC day; verified admins have no product quota. The website passes membership into the tool, so the tool does not show a second sign-in screen.
It shouldn’t. Opening a member-gated tool from its Launch button on SubverseLab passes your session to the tool automatically. If a tool still asks you to sign in separately, that’s a bug — please report it using the link below.
Free access and free downloads are two different gates. A product can be fully public to look at and even use, while its actual download is reserved for signed-in members — this is stated on the product card itself, next to the download button.
Purchases appear on the account that was signed in when you opened the checkout, usually within a minute. If you checked out before you had an account, or with a different e-mail address, open your Account page and claim the order with the order number from the Lemon Squeezy receipt; the download then appears there. If it still does not, use the report form on the Account page or email info@subverselab.com.
Use the “Report Broken Link or Technical Issue” button on the tools page, or email info@subverselab.com directly.
Standard MIDI drum patterns — not audio. You pick one of 22 genre styles and Sensei writes an 8-bar, 4/4 pattern across six drum channels: kick, snare, hi-hat, open hat, crash and perc. Tempo comes from the style and the seed is drawn fresh each time, so both are shown as readouts rather than fields you fill in. You export a .mid file and load your own kit or sampler in your DAW.
Yes — kick, snare, hi-hat and perc each have a density knob that thins the pattern already loaded, removing the least structural hits first. The knobs take effect while playback continues and never start a new generation, so you can shape a groove by ear without losing it. Variation is the separate control: it derives another take from the same pattern at the same style, tempo and seed, and leaves locked channels untouched.
Full Pattern gives you one .mid containing every channel. Every Channel gives you a .zip with one .mid per channel. A single channel on its own is the Channel MIDI button on that channel’s mixer strip. Exports follow what you are actually hearing, including your density settings; mute and solo affect playback only and never remove notes from the file.
No. Your WAV or MP3 is analyzed from temporary storage and deleted after processing; only the measurement result is returned. The tool reports direct loudness, level, spectrum, and supported mono fold-down evidence. It does not invent a quality score, a key, a BPM or advice.
Members get one completed analysis per IP address per UTC calendar day. Failed or undecodable files release the reservation. Verified SubverseLab admins are exempt from the product quota. Membership is handed over from the website; Mix Check has no separate login.
On SubverseLab’s own server. The Splitter became a web tool in August 2026, replacing the desktop app that ran separation on your machine — so the honest answer changed with it: your file is uploaded, separated in a dedicated Cloud Run service, and held in that instance’s temporary workspace only until you have collected the stems. Completed jobs and their audio are discarded within about thirty minutes, and nothing is written to the product database. Key and BPM analysis is unlimited; separations are one per member and per network address each day.
SynthPulse writes melodic and bass patterns; Sensei writes drums. SynthPulse gives you a 16-step pattern across six lanes — four lead, two bass — in one of four styles, and exports it as MIDI. The sound you hear in the browser is a preview to help you judge the idea; the exported file carries notes only, and your own instruments decide how it sounds.
It is the ranking model’s prediction, from 0 to 100, that a pattern is one somebody would keep. Generate writes several candidates, rates them and hands over the best. The model learns from exactly one signal — which patterns members download — so downloading a pattern is what teaches it. Editing a pattern by hand clears the score rather than recalculating it, because the score belongs to what the tool proposed and you have since changed it.
No. It is a calculator and it runs entirely in your browser — no upload, no server processing, no account. Enter a tempo and it returns delay and reverb times, note-to-Hz harmonics and sample repitch math, and you can hear each value before you use it: it plays a real echo at that division, a synthetic reverb tail at that decay, or a tone at that frequency.
No. It’s built for ideation, not project storage — a generated idea can be downloaded as a one-time recipe file, but nothing is saved on SubverseLab’s side.
Loom is the production system behind SubverseLab’s own records — a local MCP server that reads your own Ableton projects and library, answers with counts instead of guesses, and writes MIDI, device chains, automation and arrangement markers into a running Live session, verifying every write by reading it back. It is not a browser tool: it runs on your machine, next to Live. Full details are at subverselab.com/loom.
It is in beta and open while it is being built, rather than held back until it is polished. The source is public at github.com/senolsahan037-oss/loom and it is listed in the MCP Registry, so you can install it today — but expect it to change under you, and expect to read its limits. macOS only: the writer path is an Ableton Live extension, the audio measurement is Core Audio, and opening a set is an operating-system call.
59 tools across seven engines: MIDI variation from a locked dataset, project plans from a prompt, .als inspection and gain staging, device chains and a sample palette measured from your own projects, genre evidence measured from real records, audio measurement and profile comparison, and a YouTube-to-sample-pack path. It also says what it cannot do — rendering needs Live’s audio engine, clip envelopes are out of reach, and section-level tempo and key cannot be written because there is no API for them.
One command: python3 install.py. It finds every MCP client you have — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Antigravity — registers Loom with each, and backs up the config it touches. Live’s own step is to add the extension package under Extensions in Live 12.4 beta and restart Live.
Free and open source. Work that copies, adapts or derives from it keeps the attribution and the NOTICE file, and leaves the _source field on every server answer intact. For academic or written citation the repository carries a CITATION.cff.
