What the Pros Say About Us

“I just didn’t want to carry around the weight anymore… I wanted something I could set up quick, was easy to play, and could tear down quick. Gig Performer has made that possible. The transition was smooth, and I was able to eliminate the heavy hardware without sacrificing any of the sound or control I was used to.”

Ken Matson
Keyboardist
The Eighties Club

“I migrated from a fully hardware rig to my current hybrid setup which is now mostly VST based. Gig Performer controls it all. It has given me all the flexibility I want and, with the development options of the API, it can even do the things it doesn’t do!”

Dave Boulden
Keyboardist

“Gig Performer is the entire part of the soft synth equation. One button push and it’s all there with all the effects dialled in just right. Mapped and layered exactly the way I want it.”

Andy Burton
Keyboardist
Little Steven & the Disciples of Soul, John Mayer, Cindy Lauper, Rufus Wainwright

“With Gig Performer, I can program the show in three days instead of three months. It’s completely changed my life. I used to spend months trying to create the right sounds on one keyboard to emulate a DX7 or a Jupiter 8. Now, I can do it in minutes.”

Rubén Valtierra
Keyboardist
"Weird Al" Yankovic

“I was blown away how easily I could set it up to use one plugin for one sound and switch to another without any audio gap.”

Igor Paspalj
Guitarist
artist at JTC Guitar

“Gig Performer for me as a traditional kind of keyboard player just is such a great tool for bringing your keyboard rig into the future by making it smaller, and also to be able to be very flexible with what you do with it. The routing possibilities—that’s unmatched. I haven’t seen anything like it.”

Ali Askin
Composer, Keyboardist

“With Gig Performer, I can streamline my entire setup in one place. It’s the best tool for building sounds—more controllable, more editable, more visual. Unlike other software, Gig Performer combines all the features I need without hassle. Now, I just open Gig Performer, and everything’s ready with one click. It’s incredible.”

Cameron Winters
YouTuber, Guitarist
Vesser

“With Gig Performer, I’m able to achieve studio-level control on a live mixing board. Every show, every song, can have its unique, record-quality mix, which artists have even said sounds better than their recordings. That continuity and flexibility are irreplaceable.”
