Vellum Studio — Screen 1, wireframe mode

One canvas. Every stage.

01

Wireframe

Start in Figma or drop straight into Vellum's canvas — choose from 20+ prebuilt instrument, effect, and MIDI FX layouts, or build your own from scratch.

02

Skin

Apply a full visual skin in one pass — drop in your own PNGs, film strips, and backgrounds, with live preview against your actual layout.

03

Sound & Effects

Import samples or use the built-in physical modeling engine. Hit Bind and every matching control blinks — no parameter hunting.

04

Release

Run the build checklist, sign off, and ship from the cloud — track status live, then download a production-ready installer.

Watch it get built.

Hit Bind, and every matching control on your UI blinks. Click to assign, click again to remove. No hunting through endless parameter lists.

Yes. Full MIDI learn plus built-in MIDI FX like arpeggiators, transpose, and humanizers, in addition to instruments and audio effects.
