V-Raxtor

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.

High operation flexibility and total 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 or ReWire (fast rescan);
• Audio interface – ASIO or DirectSound;
• Graphic interface – 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.

USER PLUG-INS LIST AT HAND

Provides fast access to the audio plug-ins, installed on the user's machine:
