The challenge
When it comes to live performances, today's audiences have very high expectations. It's a competitive world out there, so you need to capture the attention of a crowd by delivering a show that everyone will remember. But, unless you have a technical crew, delivering a great live show (sound, lights and video) as well as a great performance can be difficult. This is where VST Live comes in. It not only takes care of the technical production to impress your audience, it supports the onstage musicians as well.

What is VST Live?
VST Live is the core of your live production. Available for both Windows and macOS computers, it lets you set up every aspect of your performance to make the biggest impact. As well as helping you to deliver a great audio production, you can include tracks for instruments, chords, lyrics, stage lighting and videos, staying in complete control of every part of your production. And with its rocksolid reliability, it won't let you down in front of your fans.

What does VST Live offer?
VST Live has all the functions needed to get your songs ready for the stage. For your sound it includes a vast array of virtual instruments and an integrated sequencer, with synchronization features to keep every beat and bar tightly in time. You can also display song text and chord symbols on other devices, so everybody is literally 'singing from the same sheet.' Of course, your lights and video need to be very tightly integrated with the music, so VST Live allows synchronization of lights and offers as many video tracks as you need, ensuring that everything happens at the precise moment it should.

VST Live Pro 2 Advanced Stage Production System
VST Live has seen several major feature updates since it was first launched, but with version 2 you witness the biggest step in the evolution of this remarkable software. There is no other system on the market which combines MIDI, audio, VST instruments, mixing/sequencing technology and video/lightning control in one product.

Alongside dedicated instruments, a wide range of effects plug-ins, live stacks, a fully-fledged mixer, syncable lyrics/chords and a sequencer with audio, MIDI and video tracks, VST Live 2 adds features which will make your performance look truly professional.

A new first: DMX plug-ins
Visual elements like lighting and video are an essential part of bigger live performances. But an eye-catching visual show is becoming much more important for smaller and midrange acts. Running visuals in sync with your music is key to making the right impact, so VST Live Pro 2 is the first DIY production system to include DMX plug-ins, which will help you to create a memorable visual performance in no time.

Flex Loops
VST Live now includes Flex Loops. The name says it all - with Flex Loops you can set up a dedicated version for each part, including duration, continuous looping or set a number of repetitions. Adding maximum flexibility to your live performance, Flex Loops gives you the power of ultimate loop control.

Automation
We always listen to what our users ask for and VST Live 2 features much-requested new automation. Unlike other automation systems on the market, VST Live can record automation data which is not exclusively linked to a specific track or instrument. This opens up literally endless possibilities for working with automation, you can send any source information to any target.

MIDI plug-ins
Why do you need MIDI plug-ins in VST Live? Because, whether it is arpeggios, note filters and the like - these can be very helpful tools to support your live performance.

Focus Control
Since it's first release, VST Live has added many new features. Version 2 continues this growth, and it will continue in the future. To help make sure you will not be distracted by features you do not need while performing, we have introduced Focus Control. This lets you set up your own customized window with only the controls and parameters you need to see at that time.
