A general-purpose VST3 host for running one or more plugins outside a DAW - scan your plugin folders, chain a few together in any order, and hear the result live through your audio interface. Chains are drag-to-reorder and save and reload as named presets, so a setup you've tuned comes back exactly as you left it. Alongside a live input, it can also route a chain over whatever Windows itself is playing, by capturing a virtual audio cable (VB-Audio CABLE or Voicemeeter) - which needs that free driver installed separately, since Windows has no built-in way to tap system audio directly. Works with standard Windows audio or ASIO; if a plugin misbehaves, standard audio is the steadier of the two.
