Features
Intuitive and graphical patching of plug-ins and audio devices.

Swift operation that unleashes the user's imagination.
With console, users can focus on getting their work done without being interrupted. Operations are intuitive thanks to the drag & drop interface, and changes are reflected in real-time in the audio output.

Unlimited simultaneous use of plug-ins.
With console, you can use as many plug-ins and sound channels as you like - you are only limited by your hardware's specifications and your CPU's processing power. For host applications that are limited in the number of plug-ins that can be used, console offers an easy workaround.
Original plug-ins included.

Support for sending and recieving MIDI clock.
