Supported Applications and Integration into Main Workflows
Can be used as VST3/AU/AAX plugins in compatible DAWs (such as Logic Pro, Pro Tools, Cubase, Studio One, Ableton Live, etc.; actual compatibility depends on versions). It is recommended to record a clean DI track and insert TONEX to play back modeled tones; you can also use parallel buses and automation to create dynamic tone designs. Supports MIDI Program Change/control messages for switching presets and parameters, which is useful for live performance. When paired with other software in the same brand ecosystem, presets and tone data can be shared across compatible platforms; preset files and parameters can also be incorporated into team or AI assistant project workflows to enable batch switching and version control.
