Digital Brain Instruments has released vPlayer 4, a new version of the live performance plugin host application for macOS and Windows.
vPlayer 4 is a 64-bit VST/AU host developed for playing live an audio plugin rig on stage or while doing a rehearsal, for jamming with virtual synths or for quick testing new plugins (virtual instruments & effects), all without the need to use any DAW, which is usually more complex to setup. vPlayer 4 acts as a wrapper to turn any VST/AU into a standalone application.
While a traditional DAW can be used for live performance, many musicians prefer the stability and ease of use that comes with dedicated VST host.
vPlayer 4 allows playing up to 8 VST/AU instruments at same time using up to 4 different MIDI keyboards, so you can join a quick loading jamming session with your friends.
