Usine Stage

Un nouveau produit appelé Usine Stage a été créée, cette version se situe entre la version gratuite et la version pro:

8 pistes et 8 patchs par pistes
16 entrées /sorties audio
8 entrées /sorties midi
OSC, édition des sub-patchs
prix = 39€

Piste Master

Vous avez maintenant la possibilité de définir une piste comme piste master. Toutes les pistes seront envoyées vers l'entrée de cette piste, vous pouvez alors facilement ajouter des effets master qui seront appliqués à tous les patchs actifs. Notez que plusieurs pistes master peuvent être actives en même temps!

Créer un VST

Avec cette version vous pouvez exporter votre workspace en application autonome ou créer un VST (une dll). Ainsi, vous pouvez partager un pack re-distribuable et libre de redevances de vos créations.

Ce pack inclut tous les fichiers patchs, les modules additionnels et une version entièrement fonctionnelle d' Usine appelé Usine Reader.
