FX Builder 2.0: create and refine in Studio
By Landon McCoy · Updated September 15, 2026
Studio brings the conversation and an interactive audio audition together, so you can hear each change before refining again.
Applies to: Stratus and Nimbus.

Create your effect
- Open FX Builder and sign into the same Chaos Audio account you use in the app.
- In the 2.0 interface, choose Simple mode and create an effect. Describe the sound you want in Studio.
- Wait for the returned result, then choose sample audio, upload your own recording, or select Live Input.
- Start playback and turn the pedal controls to hear their effect. Compare with the effect bypassed.
Refine one thing at a time
Ask for a specific change, such as “make the repeats darker” or “add a control for modulation depth.” A refinement changes the generated effect and uses a build. Turning the existing knobs only adjusts the current sound.
Live input
Choose the intended input device and grant browser permission when prompted. Use headphones or a monitoring setup that avoids feeding the speakers back into a microphone. Start with a low monitoring volume.
Continue to Design and Share
Design controls the appearance. Share publishes the effect to your account. On smaller screens, Studio may separate Conversation and Audition into views; neither view is the physical hardware connection.
