Slate Digital transforms its Virtual Mix Rack collection into individual standalone plugins through the Virtual Modules initiative. The company responds directly to customer requests and usage patterns that revealed preferences for independent plugin operation rather than rack-based processing. Users gain access to their preferred processors without requiring the complete VMR environment. FG-Stress and Virtual Console Collection launch first among the planned 36-module release schedule. Alexandre Vaneph, Product Manager at Slate Digital, emphasizes the company's commitment to enhanced user flexibility while preserving VMR's core strengths.
The standalone modules maintain complete feature sets identical to those of their VMR counterparts, including oversampling capabilities and external side-chaining for dynamic processing units. Continuous scaling options and seamless preset sharing between standalone and original VMR versions enhance workflow efficiency. Windows 10 and macOS 10.15 systems support the plugins across VST2, VST3, AU, and AAX formats. Engineers and producers can integrate these tools directly into their digital audio workstations. The modular approach provides greater creative control for professional audio production workflows.
