Rob Papen has introduced RP-Dock – a free standalone host for Mac for any of Papen’s instrument and effects plugins.
RP-Dock is intended to be a tool for playing live or in the studio, when you want to play with synthesizers and effects but don’t need a full DAW.
Features:
- Tempo setting
- Audio recording/playback facility.
- The audio setting for sample rate can be selected from 44.1Khz up to 96Khz(depending on your soundcard/device).
- Midi input offers merging of all connected Midi controllers and also included is an optional midi channel selector.
- RP-Dock will host all current RP products and is completely free!
Currently only a Mac version is available, a PC version is planned.
It’s a free download via Papen’s site.
Pity that it’s for RP synths only
This is actually good. And it’s free.
Should improve the concept by adding 2 or 3 effects plugins on top of the synthesizer plugin. Just like a single voice console.
You can’t use it, as just a library or instruments for MIDI on Garageband?
