Failover for live playback

The show
keeps going.

Vitalsign watches every playback computer in your rig. The moment one stumbles, your interface switches to the backup and your crew knows exactly what happened.

How it works

A heartbeat for your playback rig.

01

A code clip plays with the show

Drop the Vitalsign code clip into your Live set alongside the backing tracks. It runs on the same timeline as everything else.

02

Pulse holds a steady tone

Pulse reads the code on each computer. While it is clean and armed, Pulse outputs a tone on the channel your interface watches.

03

The tone stops, the rig switches

A skip, gap, repeat, stop or CPU overload breaks the code. The tone stops, the interface switches to B, and the crew sees why.

Trips on
Built for the dark

Four states. Readable from across the stage.

Colour only ever means state, and every state also has its own word and shape: on the plugin, in Monitor and on your Stream Deck.

PROTECTED

Armed, code clean, failover ready. The only green.

NOT ARMED

Will not fail over, even with good code.

NO CODE

Armed but waiting: no code, locking, or a confirm.

FAILED OVER

Switched to B. Stays red until you reset.

The family

One plugin, one app, one network.

Vitalsign Pulse

The plugin on every machine. Reads the code, holds the tone, trips in milliseconds and latches until you reset it.

VST3 · AU · in Ableton Live
Vitalsign Monitor

Every machine in the rig on one screen: state, code, tone, CPU and a rig-wide show log.

macOS · Windows app

NERVE

Nerve is the private network between them. It finds every machine on its own; at most you type one IP address.

Built in. Nothing to set up.
