Sensomusic tells us that, after years of development, Usine Hollyhock, the next generation of Usine, is available for download as a Release Candidate version. The company says that Usine Hollyhock is a new generation of Digital Audio Workstation dedicated to live music and real-time installations which introduces several innovative concepts.

A spokesperson told us, "It's not a traditional Digital Audio Workstation so, it has a very specific approach.
Also it's a modular environment, which means that, even if you can find many ready to use examples, the main goal is to create and customize your live set to fit it exactly to your needs. Usine is different but finally you'll realize that it is one of the most powerful audio software you can find"
