NOTE: THIS IS THE 'FREE' VERSION, AND IS LIMITED TO 1 STEREO INPUT, 1 STEREO OUTPUT, AND 4 TRACKS. PROGRAM APPEARS VERY COMPLICATED.
Usine is an patch oriented sound software where you can add plug-ins and connect them without restriction. The main purpose of this program is to provide a real time analysis of an input signal and then react with, and modify plug-in parameters to produce the sound.
Features
- | Analyse input or generated sound, for example pitch, peaks or dynamics to create adaptive effects, modify any parameter in real time. |
- | Use the built-in virtual mixing table to mix the sound produced by different patches on each tracks (up to 16). |
- | Organize patches, sounds, and effects on a timeline with the sequencer mode. Create complex automations curves. Very powerful Modular Mixing concept |
- | Unlimited number of internal audio buses. |
- | SMPTE synchronization with external sequencers. MIDI Time Code and MIDI Machine Control support. |
- | Create huge, creative or stupid audio routing within the mixing table. For example, routing, a patch output to another patch input, or create a virtual master effect send and return, etc. |
- | Manage 20 external audio sources (10 stereo) and apply different effects to any of them. |
- | Create flexible Surround (up to 16 channels) projects: all audio tracks are 7.1, 8.0 or 16.0. The output sound can routed to any of the 20 available outputs, depending on your sound card. |
- | Create inserts patches on any input / output channels. For example a master limiter or a master reverb. |
- | Complete VST® processing: You can use any VST instruments or effect in patches and modify any VST Parameter in real time. Create a front-end simple interface. |
- | Complete MIDI automation: assign any Usine visual object to a midi controller very simply by using the midi-learn command. Complete integration of motorized external controllers. |
- | Complete MIDI input/output management, for VSTi instruments or external expanders. |
- | Load up to 256 patches in memory in a "grid" and activate them as you want in real time. |
- | Synchronize patches and VST plug-ins with a master tempo. Use unusual and absurd tempo from 0! To 10000000000! |
- | Record your creations directly on the hard disk in real time: separate tracks, inputs and outputs. |
- | All Usine functions are "real-time", and you can resample, modify, input sound on the fly. |
- | Of course, save patches, complete workspaces, and configurations, for a very quick adaptation to different projects. |
- | Use any sample rate, depending on your Asio sound card. Usine has a 32 bit floating point audio engine. |
- | Unlimited number of internal Audio, Data and Midi buses, |
- | Unlimited Undo/Redo. |
- | Include scripting capabilities to create complex patches in a Pascal-like language, |
- | Full Open Sound Control (OSC) compatibility to communicate with other computers connected to the network or Internet, |
- | If you are a C++ or Delphi programmer you can easily create new users modules with the API. |
