SYNTHS

Virtual studio technology (VST) is an audio plug-in software interface that integrates a software synthesizer and effects into digital audio workstations. It uses digital signal processing to simulate a traditional recording studio’s hardware in software. There are both commercial and freeware versions of VST plug-ins available in the market. WavePad Audio Editor has integrated VST plugin support, giving you access to thousands of additional tools and effects that are available. Below is a list of recommended free VST plugins that you can download and use in WavePad on your PC to further enhance your audio editing projects. For more information on how to use these VST effects see. VST 4 FREE - Free Audio Plug-ins and Archives Free audio plugins archive - Instruments and effects for audio software. Plugins for Cubase, FL studio, Reaper, Ableton and other VST/AU platforms. Usually, when looking at plugins, your chosen recording system will have the biggest impact on what’s available to you. That’s because plugins designed to be used in a DAW environment will be either based on Steinberg’s Virtual Studio Technology (VST), Avid’s Avid Audio eXtension (AAX) or Apple’s proprietary Audio Unit (AU) format. Software plugins (VST) do a great job of emulating the sound of the devices that have shaped music. If you’re putting together a home studio, this is not going to be ideal. Instead, software plugins (VST) do a great job of emulating the sound of the devices that have shaped music.

HOW TO USE VST PLUGINS

VST plugins are virtual instruments and effects that you can use in productions. They can recreate classic synth designs, or represent completely new ways of making sound. VST plugins are easy to use; download them, install, and your DAW will pick them up and let you use them in the workstation. From classic instruments to experimental indie gems, there’s a huge world of both paid and free VST plugins to choose from. Native has spent decades creating and developing some of the world’s leading VST plugins with REAKTOR, KONTAKT, KOMPLETE KONTROL, and loads more.

HOW TO USE VST PLUGINS FOR SYNTH SOUNDS

VST plugins can be used in a wide variety of ways to create synth sounds for songwriting and production. Almost any instrument can be turned into a VST plugin, and more often than not, when you need a certain kind of sound there’s a VST plugin for it. There are several varieties of VST plugins for synth sounds that are worth noting. Polyphonic VST plugins create more than one note at a time, so are great for building complex melodies, chords, and harmonies, while monophonic VST plugins play one note at a time and are commonly used for basslines. Some VST plugins strictly model themselves on reproducing sounds you would expect from analogue instruments, but others go way beyond that. Wavetable VST plugins like MASSIVE and MASSIVE X tend to focus on helping producers create something unusual and completely different to traditional instruments, and can be more useful for experimental productions than other VST plugins.

HOW TO USE MULTIPLE VST PLUGINS

Trying things out and exploring new territory is hugely important when trying to craft something unique, and using multiple VST plugins will give you a wide range of instruments and sounds to work with. Chaining multiple VST plugins together sis a typical way to start crafting a sound you can call your own. Feeding one VST plugin instrument into a VST plugin effect will alter them even further. This is also common with digital production as lots of recording tools come in VST plugin form – there’s no issue with running multiple VSTs at once – simply load them in and start playing. Native offers over 2,000 free sounds and more than 6 GB of free VST plugin content with KOMPLETE START, so if you’re looking for some inspiration it’s a great way to get started.

GIG PERFORMER 3 INCLUDES THE SETLIST MANAGER, CHORD PRO SUPPORT, AUDIO/MIDI RECORDER, GPSCRIPT AND MORE..

Guitarists, keyboard players, vocalists, drummers, wind players — build and control your live music rig with Gig Performer® to transform and elevate your live performing experience by gaining complete control over the sound of your instrument or voice. Our innovative approach and focus on usability is paired with an intuitive rack design, called a Rackspace, which transforms your plugins into the most powerful, yet user-friendly live music software system. And our impressive list of cutting edge features allow you to control multiple instruments, layer sounds and employ authentic effects… easily, and with little power usage.

SONGS AND SETLISTS

Songs let you reuse your rackspaces. For example, a single rackspace containing an acoustic piano sound can be reused to cover 10 songs needing piano. Reusing rackspaces greatly reduces load times and memory needs. Guitarists will love that song parts can be accessed directly using a MIDI pedal controller, as well as from a control surface or Gig Performer’s main window.

PREDICTIVE LOADING

Gig Performer’s Predictive Loading™ feature, which slims resource demands by loading only the next few rackspaces that will be needed, can now be applied at the song level. All parts of a song are loaded into memory when the song is selected for glitchless, instant switching. At the same time, Predictive Loading limits CPU and memory requirements.

BI-DIRECTIONAL MIDI CONTROL AND SYSEX SUPPORT

Control surface support has been strengthened with the addition of bidirectional MIDI control of widgets on Gig Performer rack panels, and the program now allows programming and transmitting sysex (MIDI System Exclusive) messages, commonly used with hardware synthesizers.

LOW CPU USAGE

We've spent countless hours making sure that Gig Performer uses as few CPU cycles as possible.

CROSS PLATFORM (VST, VST3, AU)

Works on OS X and Windows devices. Your GIG files can be opened on both platforms. Supports VST, VST3 and AU plugins

BUILT-IN AUDIO/MIDI RECORDER

Record all incoming audio inputs easily for later post processing in a DAW. Saved wave files are automatically timestamped - perfect for touring bands. All incoming MIDI data can be saved to a Standard MIDI File, complete with tempo changes.

INSTANT SWITCHING

Switch between your rack spaces - INSTANTLY and GLITCH FREE. Easily create variations of your rackspace. Switch between variations seamlessly - even while holding notes.

MIDI & OSC Support

Use your existing MIDI and OSC devices and apps. Map any control to any controllable parameter.

RIG MANAGER

Our Rig Manager allows you to move between your home and studio setup with a single click

Read more about Rig Manager
ABLETON LINK

Synchronize Gig Performer's tempo with applications running on other connected computers or tablets.

CHORD PRO SUPPORT

Gig Performer 3 adds support for the Chord Pro lead sheet format. This allows Chord Pro documents to be created, edited, and linked to songs in a setlist so a chords-and-lyrics chart can be opened when a song is selected

VISUAL WORKFLOW

Forget about channel strips, busses, auxes and sends. Just route audio from one plugin to another by connecting them together with wires. Functionality like inserts, sends and side-chaining become trivial.

Software For Vst Plugins Plugin

GPSCRIPT LANGUAGE

A powerful, proprietary scripting language allows you to customize your rig's behaviour to the max.

ADVANCED MIDI FUNCTIONS

Associate specific MIDI devices with particular plugins easily and visually. Use transpose, channel mapping, MIDI out settings and more..

AUDIO MIXER/ROUTER

Built in 4, 8 and 16 channel mixer/router

Gig Performer® runs on both OSX and MS Windows so you can enjoy its benefits on whichever platform you are most familiar. You’ll also enjoy full OSC support. You can use touch surfaces such as Lemur or TouchOSC to control Gig Performer®, as well as applications such as Max for even more sophisticated control.

Gig Performer® supports VST and VST3 formats on both OSX and MS Windows, as well as the AU (Audio Unit) format on OSX.

No more confusing busses, sends, auxes or inserts used by traditional channel-strip approaches. Using the front and back panel views, simply connect plugins to each other any way you want, then custom-design Panels to control each Rackspace. You can then design a number of Variations, which allow multiple sets of settings for a single Rackspace… and switch INSTANTLY between them.

Software For Vst Plugins Download

For instance, if you create a Rackspace consisting of an electric piano and some effects (phase, reverb, tremolo) then you can switch instantly from fast deep tremolo, to slow mellow tremolo plus reverb, and so on, even while still holding notes. Plus, you can customize your Panels using a variety of available widgets (knobs, switches, levers, LEDs), and colored face plates.

Gig Performer® makes the most of your plugins whether you’re using it to control the effects processing of your instrument, your voice, or both simultaneously. You can also use Gig Performer® with your existing environment, by training it to recognize the controls on your keyboards, OSC apps, MIDI expression pedals and control surfaces, and then use them to control plugin parameters. Of course, you’ll also enjoy expected features such as layering and splitting operations, and individual transposition.

Design Your Sounds Like A Pro

Standalone Vst Plugin Software

Say goodbye to the confusing busses, sends and inserts of traditional channel-strip approaches. Simply connect plugins to each other any way you want.

Multiple Panels Per Rack

Panels make it easy to group and share common collections of controls tied to your physical devices and to plugin parameters in individual rackspaces.

  • GP has absolutely changed how I run my guitar rig and has finally allowed me to run it how I want to rather than how the software wants to.

  • After more than 20 years of using a PC to run my keyboards on stage, I finally don’t live in fear of the next patch or song change.

  • Yay finally someone with brains developed the vst host from heavenI purchased Gig Performer and OMG. This is by far the best live VST host for live work. Thumbs up big time. Look forward to gigging with this beasty vst host from heaven. Yay.

  • Gig Performer is like a breath of fresh air for laptop performers. Stable, efficient and without all the extra unnecessary features that increase cpu and distract from a smooth playing experience.

Resting cpu = 2%. wow!

  • Finally, a plugin host that truly addresses the needs of live performers

  • Gig Performer is a game changer for me. Le poulin vst guitar amp plugins. Not only can I create any combination of sounds with this but also perform them live with seamless switching.The only limitation with Gig Performer is your imagination.
