...Not quite there yet
As you may know Beatformer is an effect plug-in, so after installation there is no way to run it as a standalone app.
Instead you will need a hosting application that supports the VST or Audio Unit or AAX format in order to use Beatformer.
Some common DAW or NLE hosting applications that can run Beatformer:
- Ableton Live
- Logic Pro
- Presonus Studio One
- Cockos Reaper
- FL Studio
- Avid Pro Tools
- Bitwig
- Propellerhead Reason
