Wusik SQ480 is a Keyboard and Mouse DAW, not a Mouse and Keyboard DAW

I'm William Kalfelz - aka Wusik - and I started Wusik project several years ago (2001 to be more exact). Wusik Station (now in version 10 - Wusik Station X) is a fantastic synth and my leading product. Wusik 8008, my second major release, is a sample playback modular synth featuring an easy-to-use interface. My other products include a great VST/AU sequencer/host called Wusik SQ200 and a chainer called Wusik P2000. I also work (as a hobby) with Arduino DIY-based projects at Beat707 and also released a game (check the Online Store). Finally, if you want to know more about me, you can watch this video where I talk about myself and discuss Bipolar Disorder. ​You can also check All My Musical Projects if you want.

Right now I'm working on Wusik SQ480, already have an Alpha version that you can test using the link below. Mainly the GUI is ready, not much apart from that. It does record MIDI events but it doesn't play anything yet. I already created a few CRT models and a couple of LCD models. Will also create a Modern look soon. If anyone want to contribute with graphics, please, let me know.

You can also check out the complete details about the previous DAW that I have created called Wusik SQ200. Which was a fully featured DAW but running with a "hardware" styled format. So you can rest assured that this new project is no strange thing to me.

Here are the complete details of Wusik SQ480 so far (subjected to changes)

Windows PC 64 bits Application. Compatible plugin formats: VST2 and VST3. Requires multi-core CPU and good GPU (so far I'm testing with an old NVidia 1030).

(keep in mind that anything created with the Alpha version could be rendered non-functional with ongoing updates. But I try to avoid that when possible)
