Supported Applications and Main Workflow Integration
Can be used in major DAWs that support VST3/AU/AAX, such as Pro Tools, Logic Pro, Cubase, Ableton Live, Studio One, REAPER, FL Studio, etc. Record and edit performances on MIDI tracks, control pedals, resonance, and tone parameters via automation; you can also use key switches (if applicable) to quickly switch presets. For team collaboration or AI-assisted workflows, have the AI generate or organize MIDI drafts first, then import them into this sound library to refine velocity and expression—accelerating piano arrangement and mixing decisions.
