New Features
GP Relayer
This new plugin relays audio and MIDI between Gig Performer and your favorite DAW, enabling effortless recording of Gig Performer’s output and the use of your DAW’s proprietary audio plugins live onstage.
GP Relayer
Introducing GP Relayer, an exciting new plugin that provides the easiest way to share audio and MIDI between Gig Performer and your favorite DAW. Simply place one or more of these plugins in your DAW (req. MacOS 10.14 or newer on Mac), one or more in Gig Performer, and you’re ready to seamlessly move audio and MIDI data back and forth. You can directly record high-quality, low-latency audio from Gig Performer for your next album. Alternatively, use your DAW’s proprietary plugins and MIDI effects within Gig Performer for an unparalleled live performance experience. GP Relayer supports up to 10 relays simultaneously.
Wiring Activity
When a connected instrument is played, virtual MIDI wires flash and virtual audio wires illuminate green, yellow or red, making it easy to determine your setup's correct signal path connections and sound levels.
Wiring Activity
The Wiring Activity view displays connections as color-coded virtual MIDI and audio wires when any note is played, helping you to quickly understand and correct your audio and MIDI flow and audio levels. Playing your instrument makes wires illuminate to visualize signal levels—“Green” indicates that your levels are OK, “Yellow” indicates that your levels are getting a little high, and “Red” means that your signal is running hot. Is a particular sound effect only coming out of one channel? Wiring Activity also reveals where the signal is broken so you can quickly and easily fix it.
MIDI Rechannelizer
Aimed at hardware and VST users, MIDI Rechannelizer enables you to perform on one channel while simultaneously sending multiple copies of MIDI messages on different channels to external gear and multi-timbral synth plugins.
MIDI Rechannelizer
Ideal for external gear integration and internal channel reconfiguration, MIDI Rechannelizer is a powerhouse in flexible routing, enhancing your ability to manipulate and streamline MIDI flows. Using an intuitive grid-based interface, you can easily redirect MIDI signals to and from any channel or send multiple channels simultaneously. For example, playing your MIDI keyboard on MIDI channel 1 will send multiple copies of the MIDI message on four different channels to your external hardware and multi-timbral soft synths.
Chord Maker
Playing a single note on your keyboard creates complex chords with multiple sounds, freeing up your other hand to perform another dedicated song part.
Chord Maker
Chord Maker lets you create complex chords using different sounds or block unwanted notes in a performance simply by playing with a single finger on your keyboard. For example, now you can simultaneously perform bass, strings and choir, each part using different chords in different inversions, all with one finger on one hand, thus freeing up your other hand to perform a dedicated piano part. Chord Maker features MIDI learn capabilities to speed up your workflow when you map notes to chords.
Envelope Follower
This powerful built-in plugin lets you use audio volume to automatically control real-time envelope parameters, such as wah-wah effects and audio ducking.
Envelope Follower
The Envelope Follower plugin lets you use audio volume to control envelope parameters in real-time—for example, wah-wah effects, which are particularly useful for guitarists. Or, if you wish to talk while playing music, Envelope Follower will let you automatically duck the audio, lowering the music volume as you speak. Using widgets, you can use audio volume to virtually control any parameter within your setup.
Timestretch Audio
Gig Performer’s Streaming Audio File Player lets you easily manipulate your audio files’ playback speed and pitch to fit any performance or rehearsal scenario.
Timestretch Audio
Gig Performer’s Streaming Audio File Player has been enhanced with new stretch and transpose capabilities. This feature lets you flexibly and quickly tweak your audio tracks—speed them up, slow them down, or change the pitch—to fit any live performance or rehearsal scenario. These settings are stored and recalled as part of GP User presets, particularly useful when using backing tracks with a singer who requires a reduced song pitch.
Global Rackspace MIDI
The Global Rackspace now allows you to send MIDI between local rackspaces and the Global Rackspace for flexible MIDI processing.
Global Rackspace MIDI
The new MIDI To and From Global Rackspace feature allows you to centralize your MIDI effects, key splits and transpositions in the Global Rackspace and to send them to instruments across any Rackspace as desired, streamlining your MIDI processing.
MIDI Transposer
A very lightweight plugin to transpose MIDI Messages along a wiring path.
MIDI Transposer
The new MIDI Transposer plugin is a convenient, quick way to transpose note and polyphonic aftertouch messages as messages pass through the system.
It is very useful for quickly changing the key of a MIDI sequence, and you can insert multiple MIDI Transposer plugins to create harmonic variations.
Song Part Actions
Change widget values, send external program changes and OSC messages automatically.
Song Part Actions
You can now define multiple actions to be triggered automatically whenever a song part is selected. Use this feature to send arbitrary MIDI messages to hardware, send OSC messages to remote devices for selecting videos or even invoke GP Script functions.
