Instrument mode for Windows

Your MIDI controller,
always ready.

Ready Instrument One makes your MIDI controller feel like a standalone instrument—turn it on and your chosen sound is loaded and ready to play. When you open your DAW, it steps aside automatically and returns when you’re done.

READY INSTRUMENT ONE READY
CURRENT PATCH Grand Piano Addictive Keys

Not a DAW. Not another project to configure.

It treats your computer like the sound engine inside a digital piano.

The instrument experience

From power-on to playing, with less friction.

01

Always ready

Starts quietly with Windows and restores your last patch, audio device, and MIDI routing.

02

Sounds become patches

Give instruments useful names, arrange them your way, and move between them from one focused surface.

03

Knows when to step aside

Automatically releases the audio engine while a configured DAW is running, then returns when it closes.

04

Out of the way by design

Ready, loading, standby, and handoff states remain visible while the main window stays closed until you need it.

Early Windows beta

Help shape an instrument—not a miniature DAW.

The first beta is intended for a small group of musicians who can test different MIDI controllers, ASIO interfaces, and VST3 instruments.

  • Windows 10 or 11, 64-bit
  • A MIDI controller and ASIO audio interface
  • At least one 64-bit VST3 instrument
