Sympose Studio glossary

Definitions for the project, arrangement, agent, sound, and synchronization concepts used in Sympose.

Project and arrangement

Project — The local-first unit containing music, settings, assets, chats, and run history.
Arrangement — The song timeline containing track lanes and clips.
Track — A MIDI or audio lane with mixer, Device, recording, and automation state.
Clip — An independent editable MIDI or audio region placed on a track.
Clip view — The focused content editor for the selected clip: piano roll for MIDI or waveform controls for audio.
Device view — The instrument and effects editor for the selected track.
Asset — Audio or other project media identified and validated independently from a private filesystem path.
Automation — A time-based envelope controlling an eligible mixer, instrument, or effect parameter.

Chat — A conversation within a project. Several chats can work against the same current project state.
Run — One attributable unit of agent work, including intent, steps, changes, warnings, and recovery state.
Plan revision — A read-only proposed scope that must be approved before Plan execution.
Checkpoint — A durable pause for a question, approval, interruption, or recovery boundary.
Skill — Trusted versioned expertise loaded for a task; it adds guidance, not authority.
Revert — A guarded operation that reverses changes from a run when newer project work makes that safe.

Device — An instrument or effect in a track’s left-to-right signal chain.
Preset — A named, compatible device configuration. Factory presets are immutable; user presets are reusable copies.
Generated audio — AI-produced one-shot, sample, or loop material committed as an ordinary project asset and clip or Synth source (not a separate temporary review queue).
Publish — The explicit first transition from a local-only project into cloud-backed synchronization.
Sync — Reconciliation between the local project and its published cloud state.
