Giada is a minimal, hardcore audio tool for DJs and live performers.
Load or record up to 32 samples, choose to play them in single mode (drum machine) or loop mode(sequencer) and start the show with your computer keyboard as a controller.
Overall, this application aims to function as a compact virtual device meant to be used for production and live sets.
Here are some key features of "Giada":
Ultra-lightweight internal design:
· Giada is designed to be a fast and reliable audio tool, focused on productivity. 100% exotic dependencies free.
Multi-thread/multi-core support:
· The music never stops, even during the heaviest processing.
32 bit floating point audio engine:
· All samples are internally converted and managed to provide hi-definition audio mixing, with full ALSA, JACK and DirectSound support.
Up to 32 audio channels controlled via computer keyboard:
· Manage loops and events, play samples, mute and stop channels: everything through your computer's keyboard.
Different playback modes and combinations:
· Play single-shot samples, compose your song with layered loops or use Giada as a live drum machine.
Bpm and beat sync with sample-accurate loop engine:
· Giada can run for hours without losing a bpm, thanks to its sample-based calculations.
Live sampler from external inputs:
· Record samples from the real world with automatic channel selection and input delay compensation.
Live quantizer:
· Align the samples on exact fractions of beats to gain an ultra-precise live performance.
Action recorder:
