SIGNAL FORGE
how to create your first signal
You’re not here to press play. You’re here to forge something.
When Signal Forge loads, the system is idle. Nothing moves. Nothing sounds. This silence is intentional.
At the top of the interface, a code appears. That is your session ID. It marks this moment. This configuration. This signal. It will never exist again in the same way.

IDENTITY PROTOCOL V4.0
[ LIVE RECORDING ] 1. Press [ EXECUTE SIGNAL ] to start the rhythm. 2. Press [ REC ] to start capturing the live stream. 3. The timer will track your signal duration. 4. Press [ REC ] again to stop and download the file. [ MANUAL ] > BPM SLIDER: Real-time speed modulation. > NODES: 8-step frequency sequencer. > REROLL: Generates a new random signal hash.
Wake the system
Press [ EXECUTE SIGNAL ].
The engine comes alive.
The grid begins to scan from left to right, step by step.
Each square is a node — a moment in time waiting for a decision.
Right now, most nodes are silent.
That’s normal.
Choose where sound exists
Activate a node.
When a node is enabled, it becomes part of the signal path.
When the scan reaches it, sound is generated.
When it’s disabled, silence passes through.
This is how rhythm is born here:
not by filling space, but by choosing where sound is allowed to exist.
Define the signal’s nature
Choose a waveform. Sawtooth cuts. Square speaks digitally. Sine breathes. Triangle softens the edges.
The waveform is the material.
The nodes are the hands shaping it.
Then adjust the Signal Speed (BPM).
Faster signals feel urgent.
Slower signals feel deliberate.
There is no correct tempo, only intention.
Capture the moment
When the signal feels right, press [ REC ].
What you hear is what gets recorded. No correction. No post-processing. Just execution.
Watch the timer. When you’re done, stop the recording. The file is saved with your session ID embedded in its name. That sound now exists because you made it exist.
Final note
Signal Forge is not a music player.
It doesn’t play tracks.
It generates evidence of interaction.
Every signal is temporary.
Every execution is unique.
The system remembers nothing
unless you decide to export it.
Welcome to the forge.
Thank you for being here
If you’re reading this, it means you took time to explore something we built with care.
All URBAN tools are shared freely because we believe creativity, sound, and technology should be accessible to everyone, not locked behind paywalls or permissions.
If this system helped you, inspired you, or simply made you curious,
the most powerful way to support it is to share it with a friend, a family member, or someone who might need it.
And if you decide to donate truly, thank you.
Your support helps us keep building, improving, and releasing tools like this for free, without ads, trackers, or hidden agendas.
Every contribution, no matter the size, directly fuels the growth of this ecosystem and the people behind it.
From me, and from URBAN:
thank you for being part of this signal.

Shape the frequency
Each active node has a FREQ_MOD control.
This doesn’t change volume.
It changes identity.
Move the slider and listen.
You are selecting how far this step deviates from the base signal.
High values create tension.
Low values create stability.
Let chance speak
If you want to break your own logic, press [ REROLL HASH ].
The system will activate nodes and frequencies for you.
Same rules. New outcome.
This is not randomness
it’s controlled unpredictability.
Export the artifact
Use STATIC EXPORT to render the signal offline.
wAV for purity. MP3 for portability.
This is no longer just sound. It’s a trace of a moment, frozen in time.
