DiGiCo and Fourier Audio Transform Live Sound with Dante-Connected Hardware Engine for VST3 Plugins

Building upon the earlier announcement of industry pioneer DiGiCo acquiring Fourier Audio, during the AES convention in New York, the British startup finally revealed the transform.engine, previously known as codename "Project Core." transform.engine runs VST3 plugins directly, giving access on DiGiCo consoles to any studio-grade processing on a lowest-latency robust platform, specifically designed for the complexities of live productions.

DiGiCo announced the acquisition of UK-based live sound software developer and manufacturer Fourier Audio. The deal further strengthens DiGiCo’s investment in live sound innovation, building on its acquisition of immersive in-ear pioneer KLANG:technologies in 2018. The vision is to expand the integrated possibilities of DiGiCo mixing systems, avoiding the use of external hardware touring around the world, building a hardware-enabled audio software platform instead.
