PatchWorld

Create music, worlds, and live experiences together in VR and desktop

PatchWorld is a multiplayer audiovisual playground for building interactive worlds, instruments, reactive visuals, playful systems, and live experiences without coding.

Easy to start, deep enough to grow. Beginners can explore, play, and remix right away, while advanced builders can create complex worlds, audiovisual systems, interactive devices, and ambitious performances, especially with the power of PCVR and desktop.

You don’t need to be a musician to start. Build a world, generate or import your assets, design a strange machine, create a game, or make something reactive, then discover how sound, rhythm, and music can become part of what you create.

Explore community-made worlds, jam rooms, interactive stories, music studios, live events, and playful experiences, remix everything you find or build something entirely your own.

For curious minds of all kinds : Whether you are a curious beginner, VR creator, musician, producer, visual artist, tinkerer, performer, streamer, or educator, PatchWorld gives you a new way to create and express yourself inside shared virtual worlds.

Hang out, build, jam, and explore

Play and create with others in real time. Explore worlds, jam rooms, interactive experiences, and ready-made music studios for electronic music, reggae, techno, drum and bass, and more.

Try instruments, inventions, games, devices, and worlds made by the community. Attend live events, workshops, jams, and performances. Share your creations and remix what others have built.

Build interactive worlds and playful systems

Use physics, logic, interaction, and gameplay blocks to design interactive experiences, strange machines, art installations, motion-based systems, and even games.

PatchWorld started with music, but creators use it to build much more than music alone.

Create reactive audiovisual systems

Turn sound, gesture, interaction, and gameplay into real-time visuals, lights, motion, and spatial effects.

Play with ready-made visual devices to create reactive stages, glitch art, generative visuals, and audiovisual performances, or build your own VJ tools and TouchDesigner-like setups from scratch directly in 3D space.

Customize your avatar, movement, and identity

Import custom VRM avatars, create expressive costumes, design reactive outfits, and shape how you appear, move, and express yourself inside PatchWorld’s shared creative worlds.

Build instruments, studios, and audio based systems with your hands

Use PatchWorld’s modular block system to create musical instruments, synths, samplers, drum machines, sequencers, effects, custom controllers

Inspired by modular synthesis, Pure Data, Max/MSP, TouchDesigner, and node-based creative tools, PatchWorld brings the art of patching out of the flat screen and into 3D space.

Connect your setup - Go hybrid with mixed reality

Go further with MIDI, OSC, Ableton Link, spatial audio tools, recording workflows, external controllers, DAWs, and desktop / PCVR setups. From jamming in VR to performing on stage, PatchWorld can become part of your live creative setup.

PatchWorld is powered by our bespoke audio engine, developed over many years for high-quality real-time and spatial audio. It supports responsive instruments, synthesis, sampling, effects, procedural sound systems, spatial mixing, and immersive performance tools designed for serious sound.

Bring your own assets, or generate them in-world

Import your own sounds, images, videos, and 3D objects through the PatchWorld web portal, or generate new assets directly inside PatchWorld with AI-powered tools.

Now on Steam Early Access for PCVR and desktop

The Steam version brings PatchWorld to a more powerful PC-based setup, with support for both PCVR and desktop. PCVR is the main immersive creation experience for patching, building, performing, and interacting with each other naturally in 3D space.

Desktop is currently in beta but is already very useful for exploring worlds, filming, streaming and joining multiplayer sessions!
