DWP has launched Rift 1.0.0, a glitch and effects performance tool for macOS and Windows. Rift is available as a Max for Live device alongside independent VST3 and AAX plug-ins for both platforms, with AU support on macOS.
The Max for Live version is designed to bring multiple Ableton Live tracks into a shared editor. Track names and colours follow the current Live set, allowing users to work with several tracks from one workspace. This shared multi-track workflow requires Ableton Live with Max for Live installed.
Each track includes four performance controls and a Random function. Available parameters include beat, length, pitch, portamento, reverse probability, pan and gain. Rift provides two operating modes: Glitch mode, which repeats captured audio, and FX Only mode, which applies timed effects to incoming audio.
Users can create effect chains containing up to four effects and store up to eight effect snapshots for each track. The Max for Live workspace also includes four groups, host automation, presets, a pan LFO, offset controls and fades.
The independent VST3, AU and AAX versions allow Rift to be used outside Ableton Live. The AU plug-in supports both Intel and Apple Silicon Macs, while the VST3 and AAX editions are available for macOS and Windows.
DWP also offers Rift Remote, an optional Android application for controlling the Max for Live performance pads over a trusted local network. The app is supplied as a signed APK and supports Android 7.0 or later on ARM64 devices.
Rift is priced at $59 USD for one licence covering the Max for Live and independent plug-in workflows. Ten-minute trial sessions are available; saving presets and project settings requires activation. Internet access is required for activation and periodic licence validation.
