Pure Data

SPACEBOX is a digital synthesizer programmed in Pure Data and themed around astronomical bodies of the Solar System. It includes thirteen note inputs covering one octave (like keys on a piano); thirteen total voices (instruments); twelve recordable loops; eight FX parameters; thirteen save slots; an adjustable metronome; octave controls; pitchshift control; volume and mute controls; and two different tunings: eq12, your typical twelve-note equal temperament system, and space tuning, a custom set of intervals derived from planetary orbit ratios. Keys/voices are named after planets and dwarf planets, and loop slots are named after moons.
