Make Your Production Station "OPEN"
is an entirely new concept in virtual instrument hosting. Written from the ground up by Open Labs, Riff™ encompasses over six years of live performance and studio production
knowledge gathered from some of the world's top artists, engineers, composers, and producers.
Simply speaking, Riff™ is a multi-effect and multi-instrument rack for musicians and sound designers. It is also a VST host that runs as a standalone application.
Its advanced features include: Live Controls™, which allows the user to create any number of virtual controls in real-time that can be mapped to various effects and other parameters. Advanced intelligence allows any number of virtual controllers to manipulate any number of other virtual controllers, providing automation for virtual instruments and effects. Rewire allows for this powerful host application to be used within any DAW program.
Riff allows a user to stream the ASIO or VST input signal through chains of individual VST effects so you can use your Open Labs instrument as a real-time multi-effect processor.
It enables a user to play several VST instruments at the same time. You can layer several instruments to create complex sounds. Or, users may play instruments on different MIDI channels: It turns a computer into a multi-timbral sound generator.
Open Labs Riff™ is the new standard in VST hosting. Split, layer and chain VSTs in any configuration you desire. Your production station never sounded this good.
Own Every Sound
MimiK™ (optional) keyboard cloning software will clone the sounds of any midi equipped keyboard or hardware sound module. Put all your keyboards in your NeKo.
Superior Support
Open Labs instruments are equipped with Firewire, USB, PCI EXPRESS and an Ethernet port, allowing access to the Internet via a broadband connection.
