FxScenery

Your Plugins. Your Floorboard.

Turn your favorite AU plugins into a powerful live pedalboard. FxScenery hosts your plugins and lets you control them with scenes, just like a multi-FX floorboard — but with the plugins you already own and love.

Key Features:

  • Host Any Plugin:
    Load AU plugins directly — use your studio effects live on stage
  • Scene-Based Control:
    Switch between complete effect states instantly, no more tap-dancing
  • Smooth Fades:
    Morph between settings with elegant crossfades instead of abrupt on/off switching
  • MIDI In & Out:
    Control external gear and receive commands from foot controllers
  • 8-Track Audio Looper:
    Full looper with per-track controls and built-in audio recorder
  • MIDI Mapping:
    Map buttons to your MIDI pedalboard for hands-free operation

Requirements:

To achieve the lowest latency possible, only AudioUnit plugins and Mac Silicon machines are supported.

Free Forever:

The free version includes all core features, but are limited in number of buttons, scenes and commands. Please try out the free version before buying.

Unlock unlimited number of scenes and commands with a one-time purchase of $19.00 for a lifetime license.
