Karsyn is a live performance work station software application for virtual instruments. The software
is based on the product Forte by Brainspawn, Inc. Open Labs has modified the interface, and
updated the design to support touchscreen users. Karsyn is designed for musicians transitioning
from hardware rack-mount rigs, and uses the concept of stackable horizontal modules. The
modules consist of a control module, output busses for controlling access to audio device outputs,
and instrument modules for controlling sound sources.
This document contains basic information to get you started using Karsyn. For additional
