Flux is a minimal DAW and CLAP host built in Zig. It started as a fork of, and was originally designed around, ZSynth (https://github.com/jrachele/zsynth). It focuses on a session view workflow (Ableton/Bitwig-style clip launching), MIDI sequencing, and a tight embedded instrument workflow. There is no arrangement view and no audio clips by design.

Core features:

• Session view clip launcher with MIDI clips
• High-performance concurrent audio engine with a job-based graph
• CLAP plugin hosting (including the built-in ZSynth instrument)
• DAWproject (.dawproject) as the primary project format for compatibility
• Undo/redo history for editing operations

Flux is early-stage and experimental. Expect breaking changes while the session workflow, audio graph, and plugin hosting mature.

• Build everything: zig build
• Run Flux: ./zig-out/bin/flux or zig build run-flux

Flux loads the built-in ZSynth CLAP plugin from zig-out/lib/ZSynth.clap/Contents/MacOS/ZSynth on macOS or zig-out/lib/zsynth.clap on Linux.

ZSynth lives in zsynth/ and builds as a CLAP target.
