Rack View

The Rack View provides a convenient interface to quickly build instrument + FX chains by drag-and-drop.

As you insert instruments and FX, Freestyle intelligently resolves the structure by inserting KeySplit and Mixer modules as required.

The Structure View allows advanced patching such as parallel processing, frequency splitting (with the BandSplit module) and fading between FX and layers with the Crossfade module.

Plugin Browser

The Plugin Browser provides a convenient overview and access point for all your installed VSTS. Plugins are organised by type (Instrument vs FX) and Manufacturer, and can be filtered by the favourites system. Quickly search your plugins with the text search feature.

PatchCloud

PatchCloud, new in Freestyle 1.2, provides a dedicated interface for browsing presets for the worlds most renowned VST synths. Browse by manufacturer, plugin and / or sound category and quickly find the exact sound you need.

Currently over 20000 presets are available pre-tagged and categorised by manufacturer, product and bank.

Internal Sequencing

The Event Player allows you to create, record and edit MIDI sequences direct inside Freestyle.

For live use, the EventPlayer is useful to prepare backing tracks and/or 'launch' clips via Macro Controls.

Macro Controls

Use the Macro Controls to setup easy access to the most important parameters from your patch. Assign Parameters quickly via the Learn / touch feature, or expand the editing panel to define multiple parameter destinations and custom control ranges.

Freestyle supports unlimited Macro pages, and drag-and-drop reordering of controls and pages.

Snapshots

Prepare your live performance with the Snapshots feature. Each Snapshot captures the entire state of the rack, including all plugins, splits, sequences, mixer settings etc. Use MIDI Program Change to navigate your set-list from your MIDI keyboard.

In the studio, Snapshots also provide the perfect way to quickly store and recall variations, musical ideas and phrases.

Internal FX & Routing Modules

Freestyle comes with 7 built-in FX units: Beat Delay, Chorus, Filter, Gate, Lofi, Stereo Width and SynVerb.

Insert an unlimited number of Mixer, BandSplit and Crossfade modules for sub-grouping, parallel processing and layer and FX blending.

MIDI Tools
