ExtornoTechs releases V-Raxtor for Windows

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.
