THE AI ANGLE
Assembling custom music plug-ins through prompts rather than code

Lunacy Audio has launched Nova, a platform and DAW host plug-in that allows users to assemble, remix, and sell custom music plug-ins using AI prompts and premade effects blocks instead of traditional code. This framework turns software instrument creation into a modular, prompt-driven process accessible directly in browsers or DAWs. For music and arts faculty, it highlights an evolving shift in digital instrument design, alongside the challenge of navigating widespread community skepticism toward AI tools.
