Do I keep what I exported if I cancel?
Yes. Every plugin you already exported remains yours after cancellation. Pro access stays active until the end of the billing period, but new Pro-level build and export limits require an active subscription.
Does Studio 56 make audio effect plugins?
Not as a general public workflow today. The current product is strongest for synth instruments rather than a broad audio effect platform.
How long does a build take?
The exact timing depends on the brief and refinement flow, but the point of Studio 56 is to get from idea to playable synth much faster than building the same instrument from scratch by hand.
Do I need coding experience?
No. You work in plain English. Studio 56 handles the instrument-building workflow for you.
What are the main limitations today?
Studio 56 is currently web-first, synth-first, and focused on a smaller set of outputs done well. It is not positioned as a broad all-format plugin platform yet.
