ExtornoTechs has released V-Raxtor, a new audio plug-in host for Windows. It's available now as a Direct Download for $29.00 (MSRP).
V-Raxtor is a software solution for audio plug-in hosting in a versatile and intuitive "racks battery", connected to a multi-channel virtual mixer.
Flexibility and control over plug-in interconnection enable users to implement a consistent audio-stream-processing system.
IDE-style workspace with direct manipulation emphasis offers "new step of naturality to the human/software interaction process".
Modern pseudo-3D graphical interface with shadows, highlights, relief-mapping and smooth animation produces a realistic virtual studio representation.
Popular technologies support makes it easier to utilize today's software/hardware solutions:
- Plug-in interfaces – VST2 & VST3;
- Audio interface – ASIO;
- Graphics interfaces – Direct3D or OpenGL;
- Standardized MIDI-protocol for virtual studio control.
V-Raxtor architecture foundation stones are described below.
Virtual Device (Plug-in): Basic system metaphor. It is the actual plug-in "container":
- Plug-in Volume level control;
- Plug-in Pan level control;
- Plug-in Dry/Wet (Mix) level control;
- Plug-in Program selector;
- Plug-in Editor display button;
- Plug-in L/R-channel volume indicators.
Virtual Device Rack: Device "container". It is used for mounting multiple Devices in a stack manner:
- Input module;
- Unlimited number of Devices as FX-chain "links";
- Output module;
- Free in-rack Device reposition.
Virtual Racks Battery: Racks "container". It is used for multiple Racks aggregation in a battery manner:
- 32 separate Racks;
- Free cross-rack Device reposition;
- Gesture navigation between Racks.
Virtual Mixer: Battery signals routing and control unit. It is used for mixing, switching, changing the levels of audio-streams and so on:
- 32 separate mixer Channels;
- Volume level control;
- Pan level control;
- Send level control;
- Mute-switcher;
- Solo-switcher;
- FX on/off-switcher;
- Input (Left or Right) audio channel selector;
- L/R-channel volume indicators.
