FAQs

This page features some commonly asked questions regarding the transform.engine.

What will I need in order to get started with the transform.engine?​

You will need:

  • A transform.engine (😉)
  • One or more Dante-enabled devices to patch the engine to
  • A computer to run the Transform control software, running either Windows (10 upwards) or macOS (11 upwards).

How can I buy a transform.engine?​

Do I need to plug a screen into the transform.engine?​

No: the Transform application running on your computer connects to the tranform.engine over the network to control it; no additional screen necessary.

How can I configure the transform.engine?​

You can control the transform.engine with a computer running either Windows (10 upwards) or macOS (11 upwards), using the Transform control application. Once you're up and running, the transform.engine doesn't require the client to continue processing using your configuration!

What plugins can I run?​

The transform.engine supports all Windows VST3 plugins, that can be installed and activated offline.

How many plugins can I run?​

How long is a piece of string? No two plugins are alike, so the number of plugins you can run will depend on the DSP load presented by each plugin. We don't limit the number of plugins you can run on a transform.engine beyond the amount of raw DSP available.

The Transform application provides real-time feedback on the current DSP load, providing a live indication of how many more plugins you can add before your run out of processing.

Benchmarks coming soon - watch this space!

Does the transform.engine application work with Apple M1 computers?​

Yes it does! M1 computers are supported.

How many channels can the transform.engine process?​

The transform.engine has 64 channels of Dante input and 64 channels of Dante output. These can be freely assigned to chains as required. They can run at up to 96 kHz.
