What is Usine?

Modular environment
Modular means you can build your own live set exactly as you wish, by connecting modules in a patch.
The Grid mode
Several patches can be loaded into a grid, which is nothing more than a kind of mixer, it is also possible to chain them as in a hardware rack.

Multitouch Function
Used with a single or multi-point touch screen, all modules can receive information of movement and multitouch.
Personal Interface
With Usine, you can create your own interface. An implementation of a powerful and flexible display management will facilitate your work.

Sequencer mode
Organize patches, sounds and effects temporally and create complex automation curves in the sequencer mode
Midi Automation
Assign a visual object to a midi controller in Usine very easily by using the Midi-Learn function [right click]. There’s also a full integration of motorized external controllers.

Automatic Connection
Drag & drop modules on your cable and the connection will automatically be created. Dramatically reducing your working time.
VST Integration
Full integration for your favorite VST and VSTI in the control panel and interface builder.

Create Surround projects

Usine Stage

Usine Stage is an 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.

So you feel limited with Usine Free? Try Usine Stage!

Easine

Easine is a small version of Usine Pro. Only one patch can be loaded, but can contain an unlimited number of sub-patches. There is no grid and interfaces are displayed in Global Interface builder mode.

In other words, Easine is a very optimized version of Usine Pro, and can be used for special installations.

It is also the best choice for creating VST’s.

Easine is included in the Usine Pro package.

Usine Free

Usine Free is fully functional but limited. It can be used to learn more about the Usine’s concept, but unfortunately not in a professional situation.
