Fourier Audio announces the worldwide launch of its compact transform.go plugin server designed to run VST3 plugins in a live environment. The new transform.go features 16 channels of I/O into a trim, light, and tour-grade design that is designed to fit into a backpack or carry-on Peli case, for use on flypack shows and mid-sized productions, while featuring the same features as the company’s larger transform.engine—including full access to the transform.suite bundle.
“With its compact size and attractive price, transform.go is an ideal traveling companion for DiGiCo’s Quantum112, providing a stellar plugin solution that nicely complements the mixer’s transportability, versatility, and power,” says Fourier Audio CEO Pete Bridgman. “What’s more, transform.go debuts alongside HYPERPORT, the new audio transport decreasing roundtrip latency down to 1.2 milliseconds, as well as the gigaACE and DX protocols for native Allen & Heath compatibility. This wide range of protocols makes transform the first one-box solution with plug-and-play connectivity to Allen & Heath, DiGiCo, Solid State Logic, Calrec, as well as any other Dante-enabled console on the market.”
When compared to transform.engine, Fourier Audio’s transform.go’s smaller chassis, lower cost, and reduced I/O count is designed for touring companies and engineers working on fly tours who need a compact, lightweight product to accommodate logistical constraints. The new product also affords an entry point into live plugin hosting for a larger market segment of live engineers, music venues, theatres, performing arts centers, houses of worship, rental houses, event production providers, and other mid-range users that don’t require the full capacity of the original transform.engine’s 64 channels.
Furthermore, with a 2U, half-width, standalone design, two transform.go units can be racked side-by-side on an optional, custom-designed, 19-inch rack shelf for easier integration of multi-engine setups.
Like its larger brother, transform.go is fully compatible with Fourier Audio’s transform.suite, a companion plugin bundle exclusive to Fourier Audio users that provides access to more than 70 plugins – with a one-click install.
“The ultimate turnkey low-latency VST3 plugin host that fits in a backpack, transform.go offers the lowest cross-brand VST3 plugin hosting latency on the market,” the announcement concludes. Expected to ship in Q2 of this year, the product weighs 3.5 kg (7.7 lbs). Contact local distributor for pricing. For more information on transform.go, and where to buy, visit www.fourieraudio.com.
