FAQ

What is STANDALONE?
STANDALONE is a lightweight macOS Audio Unit plug-in host for guitarists, keyboardists, and other musicians who want to play without opening a DAW. Load amp sims, software instruments, and effects; save complete rigs as presets; and record or loop ideas as they happen. Practice with imported tracks, organize playlists and setlists, change key and tempo, add markers and loop sections, display PDF charts, control your setup with MIDI, and route sources to separate outputs.
What plug-ins work with STANDALONE?
Most Audio Unit (AU) plug-ins—effects in any mode, plus AU software instruments in Keys Mode. Some plug-ins just do not play nicely, but if it works in Logic, it should work here.
Is STANDALONE a DAW?
No. There is no timeline, MIDI sequencing, or mixing console. STANDALONE is a lightweight plug-in host with a simple recorder and practice tools built in. It is for playing and practicing, not producing.
How much does STANDALONE cost?
STANDALONE is $24.99 and includes a seven-day free trial. During the STELLA '71 introductory period, a STANDALONE purchase also includes a perpetual STELLA '71 license at no extra cost.
Does STANDALONE include STELLA '71?
During the STELLA '71 introductory period, yes. Every current STANDALONE owner and everyone who buys STANDALONE during that period receives a separate STELLA '71 license at no extra cost.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Download STANDALONE and use the complete app free for seven days. No credit card is required.
