Features

• All plugin parameters can be automated using LFOs (Low-Frequency Oscillators) with various waveforms (e.g. triangle, sine, ramp, square, pulse, random).
• The plugin chain and all its parameter and automation settings can be saved as a project.
• The plugin order can be changed at any time via dragging, without disrupting the plugin states.
• Plugins can be temporarily bypassed or soloed.
• The plugin frame size is variable, so you can preview the output in real time by lowering the resolution, and then record it at a higher resolution.
• There's no 2 GB limit on the output file, so uncompressed output is limited only by disk space.
• A master speed control is provided, allowing you to affect the frequency of all your automations at once.
• Full screen is supported, as well as DirectDraw Exclusive mode which eliminates tearing.
• Dual-monitor support allows you to have the application's controls on one monitor and the output full-screen on the other.
• All parameters and oscillator settings can be controlled via MIDI; assignments can be created via editing, or "learned".
• FFRend supports unlimited undo.
• Multi-input (mixer) plugins are supported, and complex signal routing can be created using the Patch Bay bar.
• A Monitor bar lets you view the output locally when running in dual-monitor mode.
• A file browser is included, with tabs for projects, plugins, and clips, and a thumbnail view.
• A project can be exported as a Freeframe plugin, i.e. FFRend can be used as a plugin authoring tool.
• Jobs can be queued for batch processing.
• Each plugin runs in its own thread for optimal throughput on a multicore CPU.
• Load balancing allows multiple cores to be assigned to a single plugin if needed.
