Sensomusic releases Usine 5.70
Sensomusic has released version 5.70 of Usine,
which contains many major improvements.
A new product called Usine Stage has been created. See Products
comparison. Usine Stage is a reduced version of Usine Pro for advanced
users. Some features are absent (like VST exportation, sequencer) and the
number of tracks is a little bit limited but Usine Stage is a good starting
point to experience all the power of this software.
Usine Stage:
Master Track
Now you have the capability to define a track as a master. All the tracks will
be routed to this track input, you can then easily add master effects that
will be accordingly applied to all actives patches. Also up to 4 master tracks
can be active at the same time (4 in Usine Pro, 2 in Usine Stage).
Create a VST
With this version you can export your workspace into a stand alone application
or a VST (a DLL), so you can share a redistributable and royalty-free package
of your creations. The package will include all the patches sound files, user
modules and a fully functional version of Usine called Usine Reader.

Usine is a universal audio software
application designed for live or studio utilization.
Usine is made by musicians and audio engineers to respond to their specific
problems in domains like live sampling, effect processing or sound design.
Sensomusic describes Usine as a "real" musical instrument - flexible
and powerful if you like to transform or resample the sound on stage (not only
push the play button of your sequencer), improvise and create unusual effects.
Usine is patch oriented sound software where you can add plug-ins and
connect them without restriction. The main purpose of this program is to
provide a real time analysis of an input signal and then react with, and
modify plug-in parameters to produce the sound.
Features:
-
Build modular sound processing: create patches with "modules"
and connect them by virtual wires very simply.
-
Analyse input or generated sound, for example pitch, peaks or dynamics,
to create adaptive effects; modify any parameter in real time.
-
Use the built-in virtual mixing table to mix the sound produced by
different patches on each track (up to 16).
-
Create huge, creative or stupid audio routing within the mixing table.
For example, routing a patch output to another patch input, or create a
virtual master effect send and return, etc.
-
Manage 16 external audio sources (8 stereo) and apply different effects
to any of them.
-
Create flexible Surround or 5.1 projects: all audio tracks are 5.1 or
6.0. The output sound can routed to any of the 16 available outputs,
depending on your sound card.
-
Create inserts patches on any input / output channels. For example a
master limiter or a master reverb.
-
Complete VST processing: You can use any VST instrument or effect in
patches and modify any VST Parameter in real time. Create a front-end
simple interface.
-
Complete MIDI automation: assign any Usine visual object to a MIDI
controller very simply by using the MIDI-learn command. Complete
integration of motorized external controllers.
-
Complete MIDI input/output management, for VSTi instruments or external
expanders.
-
Load up to 256 patches in memory in a "grid" and activate them
as you want in real time.
-
Synchronize patches and VST plug-ins with a master tempo. Use unusual
and absurd tempo from 0 to 10000000000.
-
Record your creations directly on the hard disk in real time: separate
tracks, inputs and outputs.
-
All Usine functions are "real-time", and you can resample,
modify, input sound on the fly.
-
Save patches, complete workspaces, and configurations, for a very quick
adaptation to different projects.
-
Use any sample rate, depending on your ASIO sound card.
-
Usine has a 32 bit floating point audio engine.
