Studio-Grade Vst3 Plugin Hosting For Live – Shipping March 2026

Fourier Audio has expanded its live plugin ecosystem with Fourier Audio transform.go, a compact, tour-ready server built to deliver reliable, low-latency VST3 processing in live sound and broadcast environments.

Shipping from March 2026, transform.go brings the core architecture and workflow of transform.engine into a smaller, more portable 2U half-width format. Designed for flypacks, touring engineers and mid-sized productions, it provides 16 channels of audio I/O in a 3.5 kg chassis that fits easily into a backpack or carry-on case.

Reliable By Design

Live plugin hosting demands more than raw processing power. transform.go is built around Fourier Audio’s patent-pending audio engine, which provides robust plugin sandboxing. If a plugin instance encounters an issue, other chains continue unaffected, and the system automatically restarts the affected plugin.

For engineers working in high-pressure environments, this level of isolation and self-recovery is critical. The system is engineered specifically for live production rather than adapted from studio workflows.

Low Latency Without Compromise

transform.go is tuned for ultra-low latency operation, delivering round-trip performance down to 1.2 ms. The DSP pipeline operates at 64-bit / 32-bit float resolution with sample rates of 44.1, 48 and 96 kHz, achieving 1 ms latency at 96 kHz with a 32-sample buffer.

This performance places transform.go amongst the lowest-latency cross-brand VST3 hosting platforms currently available, while maintaining full plugin monitoring and stability.

Direct Console Integration

• Native protocol support includes
• Dante (with redundant networking)
• AES67
• HYPERPORT
• gigaACE
• DX

This enables direct connectivity to a wide range of modern digital consoles, including DiGiCo, Allen & Heath, SSL, Calrec and other Dante-enabled platforms, without the need for external converters.

Control is designed to sit naturally within the live workflow. Integration begins with DiGiCo, placing plugin control directly under the engineer’s fingertips at the console surface.

Scalable Platform

With 16 channels of audio I/O, transform.go is ideal for applying high-value processing to the channels that matter most in a mix.

When productions grow, the platform scales seamlessly to transform.engine, expanding to 64 channels without requiring show file rework. For multi-engine setups, two transform.go units can be mounted side-by-side on a dedicated 19-inch rack shelf.

transform.go is also fully compatible with transform.suite, Fourier Audio’s curated bundle of more than 70 premium plugins, available via one-click installation.

Touring-Grade Hardware

The processing platform is powered by:

• Dual Intel Meteor Lake DSP cores
  
  
• 12 GiB DDR5 RAM
  
  
• 200 GiB NVMe storage
  
  

Housed in a custom touring-grade 2U half-width chassis (217 mm × 283 mm × 85 mm), transform.go weighs just 3.5 kg. Cooling is managed through a forced-air differential pressure system with active CPU cooling, supporting operation in demanding environments from 10°C to 40°C.

Connectivity includes dual etherCON gigabit ports for audio networking, an additional control network port, rear USB ports and a front-panel USB 3.0 connection. An optional macOS or Windows remote client provides straightforward configuration and plugin management.

A Practical Entry Point To Live Plugin Hosting

Compared to transform.engine, transform.go offers a more compact, lower-cost solution with reduced I/O, making it well suited to touring companies, theatres, venues, houses of worship and rental providers that do not require a 64-channel system.

It delivers the same core reliability, plugin ecosystem and low-latency performance in a form factor designed for engineers on the move.

Shipping March 2026

Fourier Audio transform.go is expected to ship from March 2026.
