What Amplifikation 360 is
Amplifikation 360 is a modular host for assembling guitar rigs from Kuassa Amplifikations and Efektor plug-ins. It supports unlimited devices and free routing, as well as serial, parallel, and crossover containers. Live and Toggle modes let users switch sessions or individual modules with a hardware MIDI controller. A looper/audio player, chromatic tuner, movable panels, and tap tempo that can follow a DAW master tempo are included. The app runs standalone or as a VST, VST3, Audio Unit, or AAX plug-in on Windows and macOS. Compatible Amplifikasyon and Efektor plug-ins already owned appear as modules. The free plan includes Amplifikation Lite, Efektor Silencer, Efektor G3607 EQ, seven utility modules, and cab IR loading. Individual compatible plug-ins start at $25 one-time; the bundle is $299 one-time, excluding taxes. Amplifikation One modules do not work in the host because they use an older engine architecture. It requires 64-bit Windows 7 or later, or macOS 10.11 or later, and at least 4 GB RAM. The product page states native Apple Silicon support and macOS notarization with Hardened Runtime.
