Xlutop Chainer is a multi effect and muti instrument rack for musicians and sound designers. it’s a vst host that runs stand alone or with your other software that you use for your music creation. You can also edit effects in real time but you will need to run Asio with this or you will have the lagging choppy feeling going on because it can eat up your computer’s ram space. So a fast pc is needed in order to get the full capabilities out of this vst.


SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE

I ran it on a quad core pc with asio drivers so I didn’t have any issues with it. But when I ran it on my laptop just to have it in a portable form with me I had a ton of issues, my laptop isn’t the most powerful machine out but its still a good quality music creation tool for my portable set up. But it takes a lot of ram to power this vst.


OVERALL OPINION

Overal it’s a great VST not to expensive either, I am not sure if there is a demo version but if there Is I suggest giving it a shot before you buy because you will want to see how it runs on your pc or mac before investing the money into purchasing it, Xlutop Chainer has came out with version 1.03 now and I think they fixed some minor issue’s they were having it with and it made a difference and faster performance. You can even save your Chainer preset files for fast access to your complex effect and instrument presets for another time or mix. Wet, dry, panning and transpose parameters are some of the strong points of this program. Its worth the buy but only if your computer is really fast and can handle it, because with this running you might not be able to run anything else.
