Magda Core

MAGDA, short for Multi Agent Digital Audio, is a desktop digital audio workstation for music production with an integrated AI console. It is built on the Tracktion Engine and JUCE, and is available for macOS, Windows and Linux. The vendor describes it as free and open source. It is aimed at producers who want to automate and iterate quickly. The core DAW covers a clip based session view for jamming, a timeline arrangement view and a mixer with sends, inserts and group routing. It hosts plugins, supports MIDI editing, and includes a FAUST powered effects bank, the 4OSC subtractive synth and a drum grid with per pad plugin chains. Modulation with LFOs and bezier curve shapers, macros, multi chain racks, groove templates and Lua scripting for controller mapping round out the production tools. The AI features are where the product differs from a conventional DAW. AI agents with access to session context generate commands in a built in DSL and can design sounds directly on devices. A mixing agent reads per track loudness, dynamics and masking measurements. The media library can rank samples by similarity from a plain language description, and the step sequencer supports prompt to pattern generation. Cloud model providers require the user's own API credentials, or the console can run fully local through llama.cpp or a local server. No paid plans are listed on the site.
