Software for managing, playing and controlling your entire collection of virtual instruments and effects straight from your keyboard, either as a standalone application or as a plug-in in your DAW.

VIP brings your virtual instruments and effects together in one place: an intelligent browser finds sounds across all your plug-ins by instrument type, timbre, style or articulation, and pre-mapped parameters are instantly at hand on your keyboard’s knobs. In Multis you combine, layer, mix and pan up to eight patches from one or more plug-ins, complemented by insert and send effects, bus tracks and a master channel strip in the Multi mixer. Set lists let you switch sounds on stage at the press of a button, without reaching for your computer. VIP runs as a standalone application with a built-in mixer or as a plug-in in DAWs such as Pro Tools, Logic Pro X and Ableton Live.
