any plugin, live.

transform.engine runs VST3 plugins, giving engineers and creatives access to the very best studio-grade processing on a robust platform that is specifically designed for the complexities of live productions.

need for speed.

transform.engine has been tuned to deliver the lowest-latency solution on the market for hosting VST3 plugins, whilst preserving the reliability and performance of the engine.

reliability at its heart.

Fourier Audio’s patent-pending audio software engine provides a rock-solid plugin sandbox. Should a plugin crash, the rest of the system will not only be unaffected, but the transform.engine will restart the plugin before you realise it failed.

get going in seconds.

Designed as a turn-key solution for plugin hosting, transform.engine is easily controlled by a remote macOS client application. No more relying on complex setups – simply connect to the engine, install your plugins and get processing!

under your fingers.

Designed to be integrated directly into live audio workflows, transform.engine delivers control of plugins directly under the fingers of engineers. Beginning with DiGiCo.

built to be toured.

With hardware designed by the same team that brought DiGiCo consoles into the world, transform.engine is built upon decades of experience in building tourable, reliable and long-lasting hardware.

now with cuelists.

Introduced in v1.2, easily store and recall plugin states with Cuelists. Triggered by MIDI, store your favourite plugin settings, and further unlock the transform.engine’s multi-client abilities by applying filters to Cuelists, enabling you to target Cuelists to particular chains.

 

award winning.

The transform.engine was awarded a 2024 PLASA Innovation Award. The judges said it “is an elegant solution for the integration of studio technologies in live events with reliability and functionality at its core.”
