Supported Applications and Main Workflow Integration
Can be used in major DAWs (such as Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Ableton Live, Studio One, REAPER, etc.) as a plugin inserted on guitar/bass DI tracks or buses, supporting parameter automation and preset recall. Common workflows include: recording a dry signal first and then replaying/re-amping to compare tones; syncing time-based effects to the host tempo; binding expression pedals and controllers via MIDI Learn for convenient recording and live control. The standalone application can also be used for practice, jamming, and quick recording, and can integrate into team collaboration and versioning workflows via preset files or dry/wet track outputs.
