TONE3000 Plugin Comes to the Octave HS-1

Today, we’re excited to announce that Octave Technologies is bringing the TONE3000 Plugin and native Neural Amp Modeler (NAM) A2 support directly to the HS-1.

The TONE3000 Plugin will come preinstalled on all HS-1 units, giving you direct access to TONE3000 in both standalone and VST3 formats. Find a tone, load it, and start playing without opening a browser, downloading files, or manually transferring anything.

TONE3000 Built Into the HS-1

The HS-1 combines an audio interface, Windows computer, VST host, DAW, and touchscreen into a single portable device designed for both recording and live performance.

With TONE3000, you can play NAM A2 captures directly on the HS-1 and build guitar and bass rigs using amps, pedals, cabinets, IRs, and more from the TONE3000 community.

The integration also supports MIDI control, so you can use the HS-1’s footswitch to control the TONE3000 Plugin while you play. TONE3000 and Octave worked together to optimize the plugin for the HS-1 touchscreen and footswitch.

One Device for the Studio and Stage

The HS-1 is built around a 10.1-inch Full HD touchscreen and runs Windows 11, so you can use TONE3000 alongside Gig Performer, VST3 plugins, recording software, virtual instruments, and other Windows music software.

Key HS-1 specs include:

Intel N5095 processor
16GB RAM
256GB NVMe M.2 SSD
10.1-inch Full HD touchscreen
XLR combo mic/line input

Powered by NAM A2

The TONE3000 Plugin is built on NAM A2, the best-sounding and most accurate modeling technology on the planet. In a blind listening test with 1,000 participants, A2 beat Neural DSP V2, IK Multimedia TONEX V2, and Line 6 Proxy by a wide margin.
