The first public release of Hex Inception, a macOS plug-in for eight-channel hexaphonic audio workflows.
Hex Inception solves a common limitation in hex guitar setups: your audio hardware may expose all eight channels correctly — typically two DI channels plus six individual strings — while your DAW cannot provide a practical eight-channel input path to the plug-in that needs them. Hex Inception acquires the multichannel source directly and routes it to a compatible plug-in hosted inside Hex Inception.
- AUv2 and VST3 plug-in formats
- Direct 8-channel Core Audio input for Live workflows
- Hosts compatible multichannel processors such as MIDI Guitar 3 Hex
- Flexible mapping between source channels and hosted plug-in inputs
- Reamp / Resynth workflow for processing previously recorded hex performances
- Hex Inception 8ch virtual Core Audio device for eight-channel DAW return
- MIDI output routing for compatible hosted processors
- Supports 44.1, 48, 88.2 and 96 kHz
- Physical buffer choices from 16–512 frames
Live:
Hex audio device → Hex Inception → hosted plug-in → DAW
Reamp / Resynth:
DAW → Hex Inception 8ch → Hex Inception → hosted plug-in → DAW
macOS: Hex_Inception_1.0.0_macOS.pkg
The installer contains the AUv2, VST3 and Hex Inception 8ch HAL driver. It is Developer ID signed, Apple notarized and stapled for normal macOS installation.
The HAL driver is intended to be aggregated with priary audio interface/s to enable reamping/resynthing individually recorded strings.

Hex Inception requires a compatible multichannel audio source and a compatible hosted multichannel plug-in for its primary hexaphonic workflow. Full setup instructions, Live and Reamp / Resynth workflows, routing guidance and troubleshooting are available in the Hex Inception User Guide.
