Gig Performer 5

Gig Performer is a powerful live performance environment that allows users to connect VSTs, hardware synths, backing tracks, MIDI gear, and more for control from one single location, your laptop. Used by touring professionals, churches, and home musicians, Gig Performer offers an ultra-stable flexible environment built for realtime performance.

Gig Performer gives every element of your live rig a seat at the table. Its visual Wiring View lets you connect virtual instruments, hardware synths, and effects like a modular system. Widgets let you control plugin and hardware parameters via MIDI or OSC from any source; pedals, touchscreens, or remote applications. Automation through the timeline or Actions system enables hands-free operation, so you can stay focused on performing while Gig Performer changes patches, sends external messages, adjusts parameter values, or executes custom scripts. Rig Manager makes swapping controllers effortless without losing mappings. The MIDI File Player allows users to step through MIDI files manually, enabling MIDI-based accompaniment without a metronome so the the whole band can stay in sync without being locked to a click. The result is a seamless, centralized command center that brings power, precision, and freedom to every live performance.

One of our users, a studio musician with over 20 hardware synths, needed a way to manage patch changes, layering, and MIDI routing without running around the studio. Gig Performer gave him a central control station with synchronized MIDI clock, seamless patch switching, and layered control across devices. It transformed his workflow, allowing him to record, experiment, and perform with speed and focus.
