In fact I'm surprised Usine gets so little mention 'round these parts. It has much the same 'patchability' as Bidule or Audiomulch but with an interface specifically designed for live performance.
At least Usine is another VST host well worth checking out.
So Usine is not very popular? Looks cool though - thanks for mentioning it and posting the link to their web site! First, when reading your question "why does Usine get so little attention" my spontaneous thought was that it must be because of that name. "Usine". I mean, what's that? We all know, and adore, the French Cuisine but this word "Usine" doesn't tell what country's food it's about and even worse: it is misspelled. Alright, alright... I'm joking, but maybe there is some murky truth hidden in there, cause when starting to dechiffer their website it dawned on me that these guys actually are French. There must be some secret clue to the product name that just passes by us out here in the non-frenching world? I read several minutes at the site and couldn't find out what it acually is. So I was left with the feeling that it is designed to look cool - whitch it really does! They only have videos that take at least five minutes to watch, and there are many of them. I'd prefer a simple feature chart that I can glance in ten seconds and understand what this thing is capable of. They probably have that information somweher on the site, I just couldn't work up enought furious patience to stay on the site any longer ;-)) They should at least put out logotypes on the first page to indicat what computer system it runs on. They should hire a marketeer to get the knowledge about their product out better. I will return to that site later on and try to find out more.
