PatchWorld

Make music together in VR and desktop.

PatchWorld is a multiplayer audiovisual playground where you can make music, build instruments and machines, create reactive visuals, and perform live with others in real time inside shared virtual worlds.

Step into a shared 3D space where sound becomes something you can see, grab, connect, patch, play, and transform. Jump into ready-made jam rooms, play an ever-growing library of instruments, explore community creations, attend live events, or build something entirely your own.

Whether you are a curious beginner, an electronic musician, a producer, a visual artist, a tinkerer, or an educator, PatchWorld gives you a new way to express yourself through music and bring your wildest ideas to life.

Hang out, jam, and explore

Play and create with others in real time. Explore worlds, jam rooms, musical adventures, and ready-made music studios for electronic music, reggae, techno, drum and bass, and more. Try new instruments and inventions made by the community. Attend live events, workshops, and performances. Share your creations and remix what others have built.

Build instruments and systems with your hands

Use PatchWorld’s modular block system to create musical instruments, synths, samplers, drum machines, sequencers, effects, and custom controllers.

Inspired by modular synthesis, Pure Data, Max/MSP, TouchDesigner, and node-based creative tools, PatchWorld brings the art of patching out of the flat screen and into 3D space.

Connect your setup - Go hybrid with mixte reality

Go further with MIDI, OSC, Ableton Link, spatial audio tools, recording workflows, external controllers, DAWs, and desktop / PCVR setups. From jamming in VR to performing on stage, PatchWorld can become part of your live creative setup.

PatchWorld is powered by our bespoke audio engine, developed over many years for high-quality real-time and spatial audio. It supports responsive instruments, synthesis, sampling, effects, procedural sound systems, spatial mixing, and immersive performance tools designed for serious sound.

Create reactive audiovisual systems

Turn sound into visuals, light, motion, and spatial effects. Use PatchWorld’s visual and interaction blocks to build VJ tools, reactive stages, generative visual systems, audiovisual performances, and TouchDesigner-like setups directly in 3D space.

Build interactive worlds and playful systems

Use physics, logic, interaction, and gameplay blocks to design full interactive experience, art installations, and even games.

Customize everything — even how you move and who you are

Import custom VRM avatars, create expressive costumes, and shape how you appear and move inside PatchWorld’s shared creative worlds.

Bring your own assets — or generate them in-world

Import your own sounds, images, videos, and 3D objects through the PatchWorld web portal, or generate new assets directly inside PatchWorld with AI-powered tools.

Now on Steam Early Access for PCVR and desktop

The Steam version brings PatchWorld to a more powerful PC-based setup, with support for both PCVR and desktop. PCVR is the main immersive creation experience for patching, building, performing, and interacting with each other naturally in 3D space.

Desktop is currently in beta but is already very useful for exploring worlds, filming, streaming and joining multiplayer sessions!
