Plugin Hosting
transform.go runs studio-grade VST3 or CLAP plugins on a platform built for the demands of live production, controlled remotely through the transform.client application. The client offers customisable plugin views (including chain and grid views), recallable cuelists (triggered from the client, MIDI, or console integration), preset management, and detailed DSP load monitoring, the same control layer used across the transform range.
Portability
At just 3.5kg, transform.go packs 16 channels of I/O into a trim, tour-grade enclosure that fits into a backpack or carry-on flight case, making it well suited to flypack shows and mid-sized productions. A custom-designed 19-inch rack shelf lets two units sit side by side when rack mounting is preferred.
Redundancy and Reliability
The same patent-pending, sandboxed audio engine used across the transform range keeps a crashing plugin from affecting the rest of the signal chain, restarting the affected plugin automatically. Networking runs over dual-redundant etherCON.
Latency and Performance
An Intel Core Ultra 5 125H processor with 2 isolated DSP cores handles up to 96kHz audio, with roundtrip latency as low as 1.2ms, and supports the same in-console control of hosted plugins on DiGiCo Quantum consoles as its larger sibling.
Applications
Flypack rigs, touring, and mid-sized live productions needing portable, studio-grade plugin processing.
