Updated with extensive new features
With the Version 4 update, Gig Performer®’s user interface gets a facelift, with new widgets, drum pads, a sustain pedal, optimized performance for touch screens, and much more. The new Global rackspace allows you to share your most-used effects globally across all your rackspaces just like you can in your DAW—but even more intuitively. Instead of inserting effects in every rackspace, simply insert them once in the Global Rackspace and all your local rackspaces will have access to them. The new Scaling Curves allow you to control the shape of the output of a widget or convert an incoming note velocity to a new velocity. Other fantastic upgrades include things like an expanded virtual wiring view and a native MIDI File Player.

Made for serious live performers by serious live performers
Whether you’re a guitarist, keyboardist, or even an effects-savvy drummer or vocalist, Gig Performer® 4 is your gateway to using your favorite software instruments, amp simulators, and plugins in a live performance setting. Complete with great templates to get you started, sculpt your tone from the included presets, or start from scratch!

The ultimate musical companion for live performance and rehearsals
Gig Performer^® is the only cross-platform solution for storing your studio sounds and using them as seamlessly for playing live as you do in the studio. With Gig Performer^® 4, you can build your ideal keyboard and guitar chains with your favorite world-class plugins and take them anywhere.

No more confusing busses, sends, auxes or inserts
Experience a step up from traditional channel-strip approaches. Using the front and back panel views, simply connect plugins to each other any way you want, then custom-design your own Panels to control each Rackspace. You can then design a number of Variations, which allow multiple presets for a single Rackspace, and switch between them instantly from song to song or section to section.

Intuitive routing and rock-solid performance
GP4’s routing screen allows you to easily drop in software objects, from virtual instruments to effects, to MIDI devices and audio interfaces, quickly and easily making connections between them. The Predictive loading feature lets you intelligently load parts of your show, significantly reducing both your RAM and CPU usage so you can perform confidently even with an old laptop.

Plugin Alliance offers two versions of Gig Performer® 4:

• Share your most-used effects globally and use them from all your rackspaces. Keep your looper or backing tracks running while you change other sounds on the fly. The Global Rackspace can pass audio in both directions. Preprocess all incoming audio before adding local effects. Create instruments that are always available.
• Gig Performer®’s new wiring view lets you layout your plugins neatly regardless of the size of your screen. Use a large virtual view, zoom in or out and scroll horizontally or vertically to position your plugins wherever you need them without squashing them together.
• Create keyboard velocity curves and widget scaling curves. Choose from predefined shapes or draw your own. Copy them or save them for later reuse.
• Load up to 128 standard MIDI files into the MIDI File Player Plugin. Enable or mute individual tracks. Route different tracks to different plugins for the best possible sound. Use Tap Tempo to control playback speed or let the song control Gig Performer®'s global BPM.
• Select multiple interconnected PA plugins and save them as a named favorite for easy reuse. Favorites automatically appear in plugin insertion menus or you can simply drop them into Gig Performer® from a folder. Saved plugin presets also appear in popup menus and selecting a preset will automatically insert the required plugin.
• Create completely new sounds or tweak existing ones using controlled randomization of selected parameters of any plugin
• Runs ONLY Plugin Alliance plugins
