Fulwave Designer
Fulwave Designer Direct — plugins and MIDI.
The same app as the Mac App Store version, with two additions the App Store's
sandbox does not allow: Audio Unit plugins and MIDI.
PLUGINS
- Put any Audio Unit effect on a layer, or on the whole stage mix, beside the
built-in filters.
- Add an instrument layer: a synth holding a chord, played by a plugin you
already own.
- Audition eight seconds of an instrument, or Hold it and open its window while it
sounds. Turn a knob and hear it as you turn it, through the layer's own filters.
- Plugins run live as the session plays, in the same order the export applies
them.
MIDI
Wire a knob on a MIDI controller to any gain or pan control.
EVERYTHING ELSE IS THE SAME
The same layers, filters, delay, movement, drawn curves, recording, Simple and
Full, rendering and export. A project made in either version opens in the other
with nothing lost; plugin layers stay silent in the App Store version and say so.
It installs beside it, and the window says "Direct Build" so you can tell them
apart.
