Plug and Mix and Plugivery has announced the release of their Chainer ppplication. They tell us that P&M Chainer is an amazing utility that can load and chain P&M plug-ins but it can also load VST effects and VSTi instruments into any DAW including Pro Tools. Here's their press release with the full details:

As the name implies, "Chainer" is first of all an utility that can be used to load P&M plug-ins and "Chain" them to create useful effect patches and load them into new sessions or even other DAWs...

BUT, If users purchase the FULL version, the Chainer will be able to load and "Chain" any VST effects or VSTi instruments from ANY manufacturer making it a powerful tool to use within any modern DAW including Pro Tools.

Users can therefore use the Chainer to save great effect presets or VSTi virtual instrument patches that can be recalled from any DAW at anytime needed.

For example, let's say you are a guitarist and want to save typical effect patches. The Chainer enables you to load up to 32 effects in series or parallel. So you may want to load and save a compressor, an EQ, an Amp sim, a delay, a reverb, a chorus, etc, and save the whole thing within a patch that can be loaded in other sessions or even other DAWs. The same concept can be applied to vocal patches, drum patches, or any other typical effect chains that you want to recall in future sessions. A time saver !

The same applies to virtual instruments that can be loaded and chained one after the other. Effect plugins can be loaded into any slots adding amazing effects to your sounds or instruments.

Drag and Drop functionalities enables users to conveniently change the order of the effects and/or virtual instruments they load within the Chainer. A mixer section enables users to solo, mute and control the level, Mix and Pan of each effects or instruments loaded into the chainer. The chainer also provides useful Full and 1/3 Oct spectrum analysers, Phase and audio Waveform visualisation to control the audio signal processes within the Chainer...

The chainer natively contains demo versions of all 45 quality V.I.P. Series plug-ins. The Chainer is FREE for all REGISTERED P&M Plug-in owners. Therefore, the Chainer will automatically detect any authorised P&M plug-ins, ready to use. They can be chained in series or parallel to save/load presets that can be used in other sessions or even other DAWs.
