Features Overview
Visual Layout
ROUTE AUDIO/MIDI VISUALLY
Easily connect instruments and effects using an intuitive visual wiring interface. Gain a clear overview of MIDI and audio signal flow, and create complex routing setups that are difficult or impossible in traditional channel strip models.
RACKSPACES - Combine multiple plugins
A rackspace is a collection of interconnected plugins that lets you create, save, and switch between different sounds seamlessly. Rackspaces can be built with as many instruments and effects as you like.
VARIATIONS
Create alternate versions of your sounds or effects within each rackspace. Variations remember widget settings making it easy to quickly switch the configurations of any devices included in a rackspace. If rackspaces are your sounds, variations are your sounds’ presets.
DISPLAY OPTIONS
Customize Gig Performer’s appearance to suit your needs. Adjust UI text size, the maximum number of displayed song parts, and more so you can see only what is needed for performance.
WIRING ACTIVITY
Easily visualize and monitor active signal paths to troubleshoot your audio and MIDI routing. No matter the complexity of your routing, you will be able to see it’s path clearly.
Personalized Workflow
WIDGETS - Control plugin parameters
Control plugin parameters using graphic widgets that can also be tied to MIDI controllers. Widget states are also stored in variations allowing you to create many versions of your sounds inside one rackspace.
WIDGET GROUPS
Group multiple widgets to control several parameters simultaneously. For instance, crossfade two sounds or adjust filter cutoff and volume from a slider on your controller. Take advantage of widget scaling to adjust parameters between a specific range, allowing detailed sound transformation from a single knob.
CUSTOM PANEL DESIGN
Create unique control interfaces using widgets, allowing you to control specific parameters of your plugins without opening their editors. Gig Performer comes with many templates to get you started, and many more available for download from our website.
SYSTEM ACTIONS
Control Gig Performer using Widgets. For example, open the tuner from a button on your MIDI foot controller, or toggle the metronome on and off from a key on your MIDI keyboard.
RIG MANAGER
Easily manage multiple rigs by saving and switching between user generated presets for your various hardware devices. Rig manager also allows you to quickly switch gear should hardware malfunction or be unavailable without needing to remap individual widgets.
SAVE/LOAD AUDIO CONFIGURATION
Save and load configurations for multiple audio interfaces, simplifying hardware changes. If you move between several different audio interfaces, this will allow you to save your settings, and quickly recall them without extra manual work. This is particularly useful for interfaces with many outputs.
Organize Your Set
SONGS
Songs make up your setlist. For each song you can define the title and artist, plus key and transpose values. It also alloows you to override ther global tempo just for that song. You can configure a MIDI Program Change to be sent when the song is selcted and also attach ChordPro files for your lyrics and lead-sheets.
SONG PARTS
Song parts allow you to select a rackspace for each part of a song. Rackspaces become easy to reuse by assigning your desired rackspace to as many song parts as you like. You can easily progress through a song using assigned buttons.
SETLIST MANAGEMENT
Organize rackspaces into songs, and songs into setlists. Easily move songs between setlists and store setlists for future use. Build setlists quickly with a convenient pop-up window, saving you time as you import songs. Easily reorder songs by clicking and dragging.
PATCH PERSIST
Smoothly transition between sounds when changing rackspaces. Notes from previous rackspaces continue to sound until keys or sustain pedal is released and audio tails are automatically preserved when you move between rackspaces
GLOBAL RACKSPACE
Share common instruments and effects across all songs, saving computer resources and reducing the time spent rebuilding sounds. Send MIDI and audio bi-directionally between the Global Rackspace and your other rackspaces.
Blend External Instruments and software
MIDI IN/OUT BLOCKS
Send and receive MIDI signals between hardware controllers, software instruments, and Gig Performer. Rechannelize incoming or outgoing MIDI, set custom velocity curves, key ranges, and play only the highest or lowest notes of chords. MIDI In/Out blocks can be wired to as many destinations as you like, allowing for efficient layering.
AUDIO IN/OUT BLOCKS
Route incoming audio through our flexible signal flow system. Send processed audio to your outputs.
MIDI RECHANNELIZER
Enhanced version of the MIDI Channel Constrainer to reassign multiple MIDI channels to single or multiple destinations simultaneously. This is helpful when sending MIDI to hardware where patches are assigned to different MIDI channels.
AUTO SAMPLER
Sample proprietary VSTs, resource-intensive patches, or your hardware sounds. When bringing your favorite hardware becomes a challenge, you can quickly sample your favorite sounds and trigger them from the sampler of your choice. Auto Sampler will also create presets that can be opened by Decent Sampler.
AUDIO MIXERS
Mix all your plugin sounds in one place. Route audio to any outputs you like, and assign outputs to widgets.
OSC SUPPORT
Control Gig Performer remotely from tablets or devices using OSC (Open Sound Control). Use OSC to keep instances of Gig Performer in sync with each other.
Automate Your Performance
STREAMING AUDIO FILE PLAYER
Stream thousands of audio files directly from your disk, with minimal RAM usage. Adjust the playback speed and pitch. Automatically set Gig Performer’s tempo to match the track. Access songs regardless of of loaded order by using Song Part Actions.
TIMELINE AND ACTIONS
Automate key elements of your performance by inserting markers at different points in your song. Trigger actions such as changing sounds, adjusting parameter values, or sending MIDI messages.
SONG PART ACTIONS
Automate Gig Performer when switching song parts by triggering one or more actions. Song Part Actions allow you to send MIDI messages to external gear, change plugin parameter values, jump to a marker on an audio track, change tempo, and more.
ABLETON LINK
Synchronize time and tempo with Ableton Live or other Ableton Link-enabled devices. Easily use Gig Performer to control various elements of other software while your tempo stays in perfect sync.
