It's finally here! openDAW goes fully Open Source
🕑 Added 2025-06-06 15:02:07 +0000 UTCOverview:
This video is an update on openDAW, which is now officially open source. I can now download it from GitHub, modify it, or run it directly in the browser with no account or cost. The video highlights new tools like Playfield, Nano, Stereo Tool, and Zeitgeist, and walks through their functions in a simple and hands-on way.
Key Points:
openDAW is now fully open source and available on GitHub under the GPL v3 license
Can be used directly at openDAW.studio with no login, no subscription, and no fees
GitHub contains three repositories covering the main studio, libraries, and general project overview
Playfield is a new drum sampler with multiple cells for loading and triggering samples
Nano is a minimal melodic sampler with pitch control based on C3 root and note input
Stereo Tool adds volume, pan, channel inversion, and a peak normalizing feature
Zeitgeist is a groove tool that shifts note timing based on simple duration and amount controls
A new piano tutorial mode was added for practicing or educational content creation
Local sample support lets users store and organize samples in the browser sandbox
Tempo control allows double or half-time sample playback
Projects can be exported as zipped stem files and saved locally
Built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript without React
Everything can be run locally with no need for online access
Donations to support the developer Andre are encouraged and linked in the description
Users are invited to join the openDAW Discord for help or feedback
