The rack

Multiple instruments.
One playable setup.

Build a rack from the plugins you already own. Each instrument gets its own slot, MIDI channel, preset controls, effects, and hardware output.

RackSanity keeps the controls you need in front of you while leaving the timeline, arranger, and DAW clutter behind.

Per-slot control

Everything important,
right on the rack.

See your instrument, preset, MIDI input, channel, hardware output, effects, and slot status in one place.

Eight front-panel controls keep essential performance parameters close without replacing the full plugin editor.
