Free Low Latency Vst Host

Free Music Creation Software For Windows

DarkWave Studio is a free Digital Audio Workstation for Windows. Featuring a modular Virtual Studio, Pattern Editor, Sequence Editor and Multitrack Hard Disk Recorder. It has support for VST/VSTi instrument and effect plugins.

Latency Threshold settings The threshold for Cubase latency compensation kick in can be set in Cubase preferences under VST. For real zero latency work we recommend setting it to 0.0 ms but 2.0 ms might be acceptable depending on your preferences. An alternative, if you can't get it now enough, may be to record it with a less resource intensive vst, to get the midi notes into your daw etc with a low latency that won't distract your playing. Then, you could switch over to the vst you actually want, so that the finished track would have that.

The virtual studio has a modular design allowing machines to be connected in an ad-hoc fashion. The pattern editor enables the quick creation and modification of patterns by clicking to add or delete notes and dragging notes to move or resize them. The sequence editor allows you to queue patterns to play for each control track in any arrangement, enabling reuse of patterns and quickly remixing projects.

The Multitrack Hard Disk Recorder allows you to record the output of any machine and record it to 16-bit Integer or 32-bit Floating Point PCM encoded .WAV files for full-quality post-production editing or for conversion to MP3/FLAC/etc.

Recent Changes


v5.9.4
  • Removed advertising from setup.
  • Added ZIP archive download option for portable use.
v5.9.3
  • Added a CPU usage monitor to the machine container. It shows a CPU use graph and can be clicked like a button to pause the machine's processing.
v5.9.0
  • Added a 'VST cache' feature to remember VST plugin details when they are scanned for the first time during startup. Next time DarkWave Studio is launched it does not need to load existing VST plugins recorded in the cache, drastically reducing the time the program takes to start when there are a lot of VST plugins to load.
  • Fixed an incompatibility between ASIO4ALL 2.14 and DarkWave Studio on Windows 10.
  • Fixed an incompatibility with SynthEdit plugins packed with UPX and DarkWave Studio.
  • Fixed a program hang when using certain plugins as the VST host was not re-entrant and would hang when the user used the plugin GUI.
  • Changed the audio output code to become idle when doing lengthy operations like loading, saving and clearing the project. This helps prevent the audio output to start stuttering when using DirectSound.
v5.8.5
  • Added 'Play Start' and 'Play End' arrows in the Sequence Editor to allow limiting playback to a small area of the sequence. This allows for easier editing of small parts of a larger track.

LiquidSonics’ Reverberate LE is a highly efficient convolution reverb audio processor without the modulation or true stereo capabilities ofReverberate. It is available in a standard CPU edition and a version taking advantage of NVIDIA CUDA for the main convolution processing tasks reducing CPU usage where a G80* and above compatible card is found in the system.

Convolution Reverb Essentials
Reverberate LE provides a basic stereo convolution tool for Windows PCs.The essential parameters found on all good reverbs such as a pre-delay, gate and early onset control are all provided in a simple to use set of controls. Advanced reverb decay shapes can be sculpted using the envelope controls, and pitch corrections are possible using the stretch parameter.

  • NVIDIA 8 Series GPU (and above) with Compute Capability 1.1 for GPU Edition *

Vst Host Program

* The GPU Edition Requires NVIDIA GeForce 8 series and above for CUDA support. Compute Capability 1.1 is required to run the GPU Edition which excludes some GeForce 8800 series cards (i.e. those based on the G80 architecture). All other CUDA enabled cards are thought to be compatible but neither system or device compatibility is guaranteed. Correct operation of the GPU edition is highly dependent on a valid CUDA install by the user and no guarantee of compatibility with any card, system or configuration can be provided.
