What it does
Every processor we make, in one insert.
S.A RACK is a single plugin containing all nineteen Signature Algorithms processors. Not approximations of them and not rack editions of them — the real production DSP and the real interfaces, compiled into one binary. A module in a rack slot is the same code, sounding the same and looking the same, as the standalone plugin of that name.
Build a chain of up to eight, in any order. Drag one out of the library to add it, drag it by its handle to move it, and the rack shows you where it will land before you let go. Each module carries its own bypass and collapses to a strip when you want the chain in view rather than the controls.
It is not a plugin host. Nothing is loaded from a .vst3 or a .component at runtime — there is no scanning, no missing-plugin dialog, and nothing to go wrong when a session is opened on another machine. The rack either opens or it does not, and if it opens, everything in it is there.
Owning S.A RACK gives you the nineteen processors inside the rack. It does not give you standalone licences for them — for that, the COMPLETE COLLECTION includes both.
Key features
The real plugins, not rack editions of them
Each module is the product's own editor class — the same component its standalone window puts on screen — driven by the product's own AudioProcessor. There is no second interface to fall behind and no second DSP path to sound different. Every module answers a check that the view the rack shows is the view the standalone shows, because getting that wrong once produced a complete, working interface that was simply not the product.
Eight slots, dragged into any order
Add from the library by dragging or double-clicking, move a module by its handle, remove it with one button. The insertion line shows where a drop will land while you are still deciding.
Automation that survives a drag
Host parameters are positional and permanent: eight slots of sixteen automatable controls plus a bypass, built once and never rebuilt. Moving a module leaves the automation lanes where they were and carries the values across, so dragging a module changes the order and not the sound. A rack that created and destroyed parameters as modules came and went would lose a user's automation the first time they rearranged a chain.
Bypass that stays in time
The rack captures its dry signal and delays it by the whole reported latency, so global bypass and global mix are blends rather than comb filters, and a bypassed rack is silent-but-punctual rather than early.
Three hundred factory presets
Thirteen categories, every subcategory covered, every module used. Nothing arrives at Mix 100 % unless it is a send and says so, and Input and Output stay at unity so A/B is not a loudness comparison.
Sized to the screen you have
FULL, COMPACT and FOCUS, or AUTO to let the rack decide from the room it has. Our faceplates are nearly square rather than the thin strips a rack workflow assumes, so at one module width one of ours is about twice as tall — FOCUS exists because of that, not as an afterthought.

Worth knowing
- S.A RACK grants the nineteen processors inside the rack only. It does not grant standalone licences for them — the COMPLETE COLLECTION includes both.
- No Windows artefact exists in the repository. macOS only.
- S.A RACK is not a plugin host: it does not load .vst3 or .component files, and cannot host third-party plugins.
