ROUTE // MODULATE // CONTROL
The plugin host that makes your entire chain playable.
Inter::State brings routing, macro control, modulation, diagnostics, and recall into one fixed workspace around the effects you already own. Build complex chains without the usual mess of scattered plugin windows, one-off controller mappings, and level-matching guesswork.
AU / VST3 effects host
macOS and Windows
Most plugin hosts stop at loading plugins.
Inter::State is for the part that comes after that: when a session gets dense, parallel chains drift out of line, level changes lie to your ears, controller mappings stop being reusable, and the same setup work keeps coming back every time you open a track.
InterState turns that into a single working surface. You see the routing. You control the chain from macros that actually scale. You add motion without leaving the host. You save the whole workflow and bring it back intact.
This is not about replacing your plugins.
It is about making them work together like one instrument.
Deep Routing
Build serial, parallel, multiband, and mid-side workflows from one routing view. Three racks, eight slots per rack, visible signal flow, and cross-rack delay compensation keep complex paths aligned and readable.
Macros That Scale
Inter::State gives you three control layers: Main, Rack, and Slot. Use Main macros for session-wide moves, Rack macros for chain-level control, and Slot macros for plugin-level performance control that stays local and predictable.
Rhythmic Modulation
Add drawn curves, LFO-style movement, swing-aware patterns, and stepped sequences to parameters that would otherwise just sit there. Modulation lives inside the macro system, so one shape can move one target or many.
Smart AutoMap
Get to useful control fast. AutoMap builds slot-level macro layouts around the plugin in front of you, and Learn lets you assign parameters by touching them instead of digging through long lists.
StateBridge
Use one set of automation lanes or one MIDI controller to reach multiple InterState instances across the same project. It is the practical way to turn a cheap controller into a reusable control surface for an entire session.
Gain Staging Built In
Use Auto-Match when you want a committed level match. Use Auto-Gain when you want loudness compensation while you work. Add dry/wet, gain, pan, width, polarity, and per-slot oversampling without leaving the host.
Diagnostics Without Extra Plugins
Inspect your chain with built-in metering, spectrum analysis, oscilloscope views, and multiband feedback. The point is simple: if something is wrong, you should be able to see it from the same window you are already using.
Recall at Every Level
Save a whole session as a Global preset, a chain as a Rack preset, or a single plugin setup as a Slot preset. Routing, mappings, modulation, utility state, and context all come back together.
A plugin host is easy to describe.
A controllable chain is harder to build.
Most alternatives give you somewhere to load plugins. Inter::State goes further by solving the parts that usually stay manual:
Automatic cross-rack delay compensation for parallel work.
Macro scopes that stay organised instead of turning into a control mess.
Built-in modulation for hosted plugin parameters.
Per-slot AutoMap and Learn workflows.
Project-wide control through StateBridge.
Utility tools that make honest A/B decisions easier.
The result is not just more routing.
It is less babysitting.
One controller. One automation lane set.
Any number of InterState instances.
Inter::State[Bridge] is the companion plugin that makes Inter::State feel bigger than a single insert. Subscribe Main macros to the Bridge lanes and control multiple instances from one place, or use Direct CC targeting when you want hardware focused on a specific rack or slot.
Any single controller.
The same control surface across the whole session.
Complex processing is only useful if it stays trustworthy.
InterState is built for the practical problems that show up once a chain gets serious: gain mismatch, phase drift, aliasing, hard-to-compare plugin changes, and hidden routing mistakes.
Use Auto-Match to commit a static level correction.
Use Auto-Gain to keep compensation running while you tweak.
Use oversampling where non-linear plugins need it.
Use visual feedback to confirm what your ears are telling you.
Use cross-rack PDC to keep parallel structures honest.
The job is not to impress you with options.
The job is to let you make decisions faster with fewer blind spots.
For producers and mix engineers who already own the plugins they want.
For sessions where one insert chain is no longer enough.
For people who want deeper control without turning the DAW into a wiring project.
If you like building parallel chains, multiband structures, macro performance controls, hardware-driven automation, or reusable mix architectures, this is what Inter::State is for.
