While many advanced features have been present in Rack Performer for a long time, the application was very "bare-bone" content-wise until now. Next release will see a big leap forward with the addition of a handful of internal modules.
While our clear focus at the present time is to release a finished product, Rack Performer v1.0, work on Live Factory continues in parallel, and in fact, it never stopped.
We are in the process of hunting most of the floating windows down as we would like to minimize their impact on the musical playing experience. The old screen selector floating toolbar got revamped first with the addition of the new "compact" display mode.
Synchronization with the outside world when playing music on a computer is a complex and vast topic, but when you need the best precision and accuracy and can't afford any compromise with your musical work, you have to dive in the deep subject called latency.
We are currently working on the musical clocks and external sync, meaning next Rack Performer release will be a major milestone on the usability side, featuring at last a fully working "clock enabled" master module!
