Fourier Audio has launched a new compact transform.go plug-in server, claiming the lowest cross-brand VST3 plug-in hosting latency on the market.
Designed to run VST3 plug-ins in a live environment, transform.go packs 16 channels of I/O into a remarkably light, tour-grade design that fits into a backpack or carry-on Peli case for use on flypack shows and mid-sized productions – whilst retaining the best-in-class features of the company’s transform.engine, including full access to the transform.suite bundle.
‘With its compact size and attractive price, transform.go is an ideal travelling companion for DiGiCo’s Quantum112 console, providing a stellar plug-in solution that nicely complements the mixer’s transportability, versatility and power,’ says Fourier Audio CEO, Pete Bridgman.
‘What’s more, transform.go debuts alongside Hyperport, the new audio transport decreasing roundtrip latency down to 1.2ms, as well as the gigaAce and DX protocols for native Allen & Heath compatibility. This wide range of protocols makes transform the first one-box solution with plug-and-play connectivity to Allen & Heath, DiGiCo, Solid State Logic and Calrec, as well as any other Dante-enabled console on the market.’
Fourier Audio’s transform.go is intended appeal to touring companies and engineers working on fly tours who need a compact, lightweight product to accommodate logistical constraints. The new unit also affords a compelling entry point into live plug-in hosting for a much larger market segment of live engineers, music venues, theatres, performing arts centres, houses of worship, rental houses, event production providers, and other mid-range users that don’t require the full capacity of the original transform.engine’s 64 channels.
Like its larger brother, transform.go is fully compatible with Fourier Audio’s transform.suite, a companion plug-in bundle exclusive to Fourier Audio users that provides more than 70 of the world’s best plug-ins with one-click install. A 2U-high, half-width, standalone design, two transform.go units can be racked side-by-side on an optional, custom-designed, 19-inch rack shelf for easy integration of multi-engine set-ups.
Expected to ship in Q2 of this year, the unit weighs 3.5kg (7.7lbs).
