reViSiT is an award-winning tracker that plugs into your VST host (e.g. Cubase), enabling a fluid tracker user experience that couples a powerful music notation with the advanced features of digital audio workstations, such as sequencing, audio recording, video synchronisation, mixing, effects, mastering, scoring and more.

Building on the celebrated design of Impulse Tracker 2 and drawing on research into creative flow, reViSiT adds many unique features not found in other programs, designed to get you interacting with your music faster and more directly, offering new levels of focus and control in digital music.

Sequencing and tracking is now possible in a single work. Use the recording, video, and scoring features of your sequencer, or turn to reViSiT for fine control of a musical part, before mixing it all together in the host.

reViSiT is designed to provide a user friendly introduction to both writing music and tracking, with dedicated features and tutorials to help get you started, plus more in-depth documentation when you're ready to go deeper.

reViSiT goes beyond the standard tracker experience - and even further with the exclusive features of reViSiT Professional:
hi-definition subrow editing
quad and surround sound (5.1)
advanced audio bus outputs
pattern layers and browser
Standard MIDI File import
pattern commenting
MIDI-triggered pattern playback

User Interface reViSiT inherits and extends the fast and powerful interface of Impulse Tracker 2 - allowing everything to be done with only a few strokes of the PC keyboard, while adding an enlarged and graphical interface with extended mouse support.

VST Host Playback Sync Like all trackers, reViSiT is able to playback by itself. However, because reViSiT is coded as a VST plug-in, it can receive time code from its host and thus synchronise is playback - use a sequencer's transport bar to start playback, or move the sequencer's playback cursor to a specific bar or note, and reViSiT will adapt automatically. reViSiT is also able to automatically adapt to time tempo varitations.

ASIO-optimised Audio Processing As a VST plug-in, reViSiT assumes the audio quality of the host. So, if your host (e.g. Cubase) runs at 192kHZ, then so does reViSiT. Internal processing, however, is always processed at 32-bit - regardless of the host's output bit-depth. The net result is 64 tracks of exquisite low-latency audio quality.

VST Host DSP Processing When the tracker is playing, the resultant audio is piped back to the VST host as an audio track. Once there, it can be processed by all the facilities afforded by the host, including VST and DirectX plug-ins. Furthermore, .WAV rendering becomes a thing of the past - the host will automatically process reViSiT's output when ever the user mixes (or bounces) the audio down, using the host's own features.

Native and supported file formats reViSiT's file format is a hybrid of XML, .WAV and .ZIP technologies to allow users and third-party developers to easily access and manipulate their songs and samples. The module is simply a standard .ZIP archive of the the pattern data (.XML) and sample files (.WAV), editable in a raft of external software. reViSiT v1.0 also supports many popular song and sample formats, including modules, samples and instruments from Scream Tracker, Impulse Tracker, Fast Tracker, and Protracker (and compatible), plus FLAC, .WAV and 32-bit sample files - and, in the future, AIFF samples, AKAI and EMU patches.
