Unify by PlugIn Guru

Unify by PlugIn Guru

Layer. Play. Combine. 

 

Unify is a revolutionary new type of instrument that lets you layer, play, and combine AU, VST, or VST3 plug-ins to create new, inspiring, and outrageously creative sounds. Not only can you load your own plug-ins, but Unify also ships with its own built-in library of virtual instruments and audio effects, making it immediately ready to use right "out of the box". Including 400+ stock patches crafted by renowned sound designer John "Skippy" Lehmkuhl, Unify's core library is already extremely versatile. However, when blending Unify's core library with your favorite plug-ins, the creative possibilities are truly endless.

Unify ships with its own "Guru Sampler", six synths (including well-known open source virtual instrument Dexed from Digital Suburban and OB-Xd from discoDSP), plus 40+ different audio effects. Additionally, 32 macro controls on Unify's interface allow you to control any plug-in's parameter in real time.

Loading Your Own Plug-ins

While Unify is a self-contained instrument (shipping with its own built-in library of virtual instruments and audio effects and 400+ stock patches), you can also access all of your already-owned plug-ins inside of Unify. This is where the magic happens! Instead of multiple tracks and complicated routings, everything is done in one unified interface with the ability to recall patches.

A few key features of Unify include:

  • Layer, play, and combine your own plug-ins, plus Unify's included plug-ins
  • Includes Guru Sampler, 6 synths, and 40+ audio effects
  • 500+ patches created by renowned sound designer John "Skippy" Lehmkuhl
  • 3+ GB of samples from PlugInGuru's 12 unique sample-based libraries
  • 32 macro controls to control any plug-in parameter in real time
  • Unlimited number of layers (with multi-core support)
  • Supports insert effects, 4 AUX busses and master effects
  • MIDI effects & flexible routing options
  • VST/VST3/AU and Standalone included (NOTE: AAX is not included at this time, but development is in progress)

Unify merges the unique characteristics of its own built-in library with the user's library of virtual instruments and audio effects in one easy-to-use, intuitive, and flexible interface.
