Rack Performer Features

Virtual Screens

Full-screen interface without scrolling or overlapping windows, based on virtual screens concept.

Multiple monitors support

Up to four monitors can be used at the same time, each containing their own independant virtual screens. Using multiple controllers, many musicians can play on the same machine.

Patch mode

Easy and smooth patching, scroll and zoom at will in a fast OpenGL-rendered patcher.

Edit mode

After having dispatched module GUI's on the Virtual Screens, you can prepare, compose and arrange your performance in Edit mode.

Perform mode

When you are ready to go on stage, enter Perform mode where all unsafe actions are disabled, and play your music without any risk.

Screen Ticker (MUD)

On-screen video overlay displaying various real-time status messages, like mode changes, keyboard map and focus navigation, etc.

Modular host

High-level modular environment supporting VST/VSTi plug-ins, internal modules, multichannel audio and MIDI.

Scene Snapshots

Original way to save and recall any instant of your performance in a flash.

Module control focus

Instant focus on the selected module makes all controllers converge for real-time live interaction.

MIDI keyboard focus

Use a single MIDI keyboard to play and record all your instruments, it's automatically redirected to the focused module.

RAM management options

Many options allow to select how samples should be loaded in RAM (one-time vs real-time resampling) and samples can even be locked to insure no swapping occurs.

Any-point real-time audio monitoring

Monitor any point in the patch in real-time.

Dedicated audio monitoring

Allocate dedicated audio output channels for audio monitoring, ideal to cue sounds on your headphones before playing them.

Overlay audio monitoring

Simplified audio monitoring mode using active document output channels to overlay audio samples preview, when no dedicated channels are available.

Monitor groups

Create and recall any number of monitor groups. Monitor groups can include any monitoring points in the patch.

Internal modules (RP)

Large choice of built-in mixing and processing effects modules, including various samplers, mixers, filters and many more.

Keyboard Mapper

Use your keyboard as a powerful controller by using the keyboard mapper which offers limitless possibilities.

Keyboard Submaps

Advanced keyboard mapping option allowing to create multiple maps and navigate into them in a hierarchical way.

GUI wrappers

Display module interfaces exactly the way you want and chose amongst a large number of GUI wrappers to build your perfect control surface.

MIDI input support

Up to 128 MIDI input channels are supported (8 interfaces, 16 channels each) and data can be routed freely to any module in the patch.

Quick MIDI mapping

Super fast and easy MIDI controller mapping, just click a control on screen and move a control on your controller and it's done.

MIDI routing (thru mode)

Low-level MIDI routing (MIDI thru) allows to redirect any input device to any output device. Routing is performed by the MIDI driver itself and thus latency is minimal.

Full VST 2.4 support

Load any number of effects and instruments and connect them exactly the way you want, including multi-channel and side-chain routings.

Automatic patch delay compensation

Full automatic patch delay compensation on audio and control signals, allowing to use seamlessly modules having internal latencies.

32 bits floating point audio processing

Industry-standard high quality 32 bits floating point internal audio engine, with 64 bits in the critical parts.

MME / legacy audio support

Standard Windows audio drivers support for universal compatibility, in both single and multiple devices modes.

DirectSound audio support

DirectSound audio drivers are supported in single and multiple devices modes.

ASIO audio support

ASIO audio drivers support, for best performance and lowest latency.

Multi-chan audio processing

Multi-channel audio content authoring made easy. Most modules support multi-channel streams on their inputs and outputs.

Multi-chan audio I/O

Use up to 32 physical audio input channels and up to 32 audio output channels, why limit yourself to stereo?

Sample accurate sequencer

High-precision sample-accurate control events sequencing and automation.

VST sample accurate emulation modes

VST plug-ins can also benefit from sample accurate sequencing thanks to this emulation mode.

Application Recovery Console

In case of heavy application failure, the application recovery console allows to save your work and to try to recover from the error and keep the show going.

Module failure handling

Never let a faulty plug-in ruin your performance. The application automatically mutes or bypass them when they fail, letting signal flow uninterrupted.
