Live-oriented audio software

Usine is a universal audio software especially designed for live or studio utilisation. Usine is made by musicians and audio engineers to respond to their specific problems in a lot of domains like live sampling, effect processing or sound design. Usine is a real musical instrument, flexible and powerful if you like to transform, resample the sound on stage (not only push the play button of your sequencer!), improvise and create unusual effect

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:

Usine is a real musical instrument, flexible and powerful if you like to transform, resample the sound on stage (not only push the play button of your sequencer!), improvise and create unusual effect

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:
- Build modular sound processing: creates patch with "modules" and connect them by virtual wires very simply.
- 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 patchs on each tracks (up to 16).
- Organize patchs, sounds, and effects on a timeline with the sequencer mode. Create complex automations curves.
- 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 16 external audio sources (8 stereo) and apply different effects to any of them.
- Create flexible Surround or 5.1 projects: all audio tracks are 5.1 or 6.0. The output sound can routed to any of the 16 available outputs, depending on your sound card.
- Create inserts patchs 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 patchs 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 patchs in memory in a "grid" and activate them as you want in real time.
- Synchronize patchs 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 patchs, 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.

  • various issues on Conductor recall of User's modules.

  • CPU overload in Formant filter
  • Usine v 5.70 Aug 12, 2011 Windows
  • Usine Stage


  • A new product called Usine Stage has been created, an in-between the free and the pro version. See Products comparison. Usine Stage is a reduced version of Usine Pro for advanced users.

    Some features are absent (like VST exportation, sequencer) and the number of tracks is a little bit limited but Usine Stage is a good starting point to experience all the power of this software.



  • Master Track


  • Now you have the capability to define a track as a master. All the tracks will be routed to this track input, you can then easily add master effects that will be accordingly applied to all actives patches.

    Also up to 4 master tracks can be active at the same time (4 in Usine Pro, 2 in Usine Stage).


  • Create a VST


  • With this version you can export your workspace into a stand alone application or a VST (a dll), so you can share a redistributable and royalty-free package of your creations.

    The package will include all the patches sound files, user modules and a fully functional version of Usine called Usine Reader.

    The created VST's will have:

    full Multi-touch capabilities,
    Midi/Key learn on all controls,
    Quantize options on all controls,
    Osc (open sound control) integrated.


  • Conductor


  • The Conductors are now lighter, faster and smoother.

    suitability to store VST's settings in the conductor, an option added to the conductor panel.
    smooth recall according to the fade time for all controls, included array's, steps and matrix.
    new cross fade fader to experience smoothly changes in conductor's lines



  • Multilingual


  • Some great news for Usine's users all around the world, Usine is now multilingual (English, Français, Spanish and Deutsch available for the moment).

    Thanks to all the Usine Community for the great contribution.


  • Matrix


  • new Matrix - Audio Mix to route audio sources to several outputs (up to 16×16)
    new Matrix - Midi Mix to route midi sources to several outputs (up to 16×16)
    new Matrix - Data Mix to route data flow sources to several outputs (up to 16×16)
    the Matrix - Display or Set has been improved to work with the new conductor (smooth recall)


  • Granulator Module


  • new audio Granulator which creates audio grains from an incoming audio source with some visual feedback of the grain envelope. We took a particular attention to audio quality, probably one of the best you can find (5 points interpolation).


  • Improvements


  • new Always calculated module to force the current patch to be calculated even if the engine/track is Off.
    new Current Patch Settings module, to set or get more info about the current patch. In sub-patches, this module allows realtime modification of the polyphony.
    new Get CommaText Multi available as a script.
    new option fast mode in OSC Receive for a faster and full reception of OSC data's.
    new Setup module to change various options of the setup
    new Web Browser module to display an Internet page in your workspace.
    new Math modules sign module.
    new Selector string module
    the Get Url File module is now threaded for a faster response.
    new hint implementation in the main window.
    new inverse option in Midi Learn & Key Learn panel to invert the course of a fader.


  • Surround


  • Usine is probably one of the best surround audio processing host.

    improvement of multi-channels processing : all audio buses are now 32 channels.
    improvements of the Surround Pack by Hervé Birolini with lots of new ready to use surround patches. Some powerful physical model scripts included. (available soon).



  • Layouts


  • The main layout window has been improved. Many other nice, ready to use layouts are available. (thanks to 23fx23 Several new options added:

    stay on top, to put controls at the top of of the parent panel (in front of other controls)
    not saved in conductor, not saved in presets now visible in the layout form.
    captions font settings (bold, italic, underline) can now be adjusted.
    new design more ergonomic.

    version 4.22a, Windows
    J'utilise Usine depuis maintenant presque 3 ans et je dois dire qu'il est devenu petit à petit mon principal outil musical .
    Son évolution est impressionnante et les possibilités de patching semble infinies , boostant constamment mon imagination et ma créativité sur le traitement du son . cette nouvelle version est vraiment de plus en plus légère coté cpu et c'est un vrai plaisir de voir chaque version s'améliorer encore..
    je ne vais pas m'étendre sur toutes les fonctions possible, il me faudrait des pages..
    Mais dans la vie , on croise parfois un bouquin , un album et bien sur des personnes qui changent votre vision des choses , je peux vous dire qu' Usine m'a fait cet effet la sur le plan musical..;-)
    De plus Olivier Sens , concepteur d'Usine est très accueillant et réceptif aux besoins des utilisateurs. Et la communauté est grandissante et très active . Je participe modestement de plus en plus à cette aventure et je vous invite donc chaleureusement à tester cette nouvelle version ...
