Sample Logic has released Animation Station Pro, a virtual instrument plugin developed in partnership with Pitch Innovations.
Animation Station Pro hosts VST3 and Audio Unit instruments and effects inside itself and drives them with two animation engines:
- The MIDI Animation engine is the step sequencer and arpeggiator from Animation Station 2.0, with four-pattern ABCD switching, per-step control over rate, velocity, duration, transpose and stutter, sequences of up to 64 steps, and drag-and-drop MIDI export.
- The FX Animation engine is new: up to six independent animations, each configurable as a step sequencer, LFO or macro control, and assignable to any parameter of a hosted plugin using a learn function.
Because plugins are hosted internally, VST3 instruments and effects can be played inside DAWs that load only Audio Units, including Logic Pro.
A Channel Preset stores the hosted instrument, the hosted effect, the MIDI animation, the FX animations and all learn assignments as a single recallable preset.
Animation Station Pro includes over 900 MIDI and FX animation presets, plus the Breaking Borders collection designed by Ben Aylon, which carries over from Animation Station 2.0.
