PatchWorld is a social audiovisual playground for VR and desktop where creators build music, interactive worlds, instruments, reactive visuals, game-like systems, and live performances together. No coding needed.

You do not need to be a musician to start. Build a world, design a system, create a game, or make something reactive. Then discover how sound, rhythm, and music can become part of what you create.

Easy to start, deep enough to grow.

What are you here to create?

Start from your creative doorway, then discover how sound, visuals, interaction, and multiplayer worlds connect.

Music & instruments

Play right away in jam rooms and studios, build your own setup with countless instruments, or design devices and interfaces from scratch for tracks, live sets, and shows.

Worlds & interactive spaces

Build venues, classrooms, galleries, clubs, games, workshops, and social spaces where avatars can meet, play, learn, perform, and interact across VR and desktop.

Reactive visuals & performances

Turn sound, gesture, motion, and interaction into visuals, lighting, particles, cameras, and live audiovisual shows.

Games, toys & strange machines

Gamelist+

I came for the music, but stayed for the immersive visuals and creative possibilities. It pulls you in fast, then becomes impossible to put down once you realize how deep it goes.

Tom Vigal (@Hanumanatee), musician & visual artist

PatchWorld made me buy a VR headset and quickly became my most-used app for building musical instruments. Space, movement, and even the world itself become part of the instrument.

Enrico Benato, conservatory student & performer

PatchWorld enables a playful, collaborative approach to music-making beyond the limits of traditional instruments and classroom settings.

Leonard Bruns, researcher and music educator

Musical worlds you can inhabit, interact with, and become part of. A completely psychedelic, immersive experience.

@Metamat, music producer
