🎵 Music & Sound Design · preset marketplace

OSCILLATE · x402

A granular distribution protocol for sound design. Stop buying bloated $99 packs; pay 0.01 USDC to instantly preview and unlock the raw JSON/sysex data for a single Serum, Vital, or FM8 preset directly into your DAW. Creators receive real-time, micro-royalties every time their patch is 'pulled' by a producer or an automated AI composition agent. Payment is the unlock: no carts, no accounts, just signature-to-sound.

The primitive.

full primer →

Access to the preset marketplace engine is metered with x402: 0.01 HBAR or 0.01 HTS USDC per call, paid from the embedded wallet, so musicians — or the agents working for them — pay per query and get a HashScan receipt every time.

Why this primitiveTraditional preset stores suffer from high friction and piracy. x402 enables 'atomic sound design' where the cost of a single patch is negligible to the user but creates a high-volume revenue stream for creators, perfectly suited for autonomous agents generating music who need to 'buy' timbre on the fly.
