Theriar is a specialized DAW workflow software engineered for film composers and music producers. It automates the creation, management, and compilation of VST expression maps, articulation sets, and multi-track templates for Cubase, Logic Pro, Studio One, and Ableton Live.

What DAWs does Theriar support?

Theriar supports Steinberg Cubase & Nuendo (.expressionmap), Apple Logic Pro (Articulation Sets), Presonus Studio One (Sound Variations), Ableton Live, and Steinberg Dorico.

How does Theriar's OCR scanning engine work?

Theriar's built-in optical character recognition (OCR) engine parses PDF user manuals, instrument patch lists, and screenshot images from sample libraries (such as Spitfire Audio, Orchestral Tools, 8Dio, and Cinesamples) to instantly generate keyswitch and CC mapping matrices without manual entry.

Can Theriar automatically scan Kontakt sample libraries?

Yes. Theriar recursively scans system registry files (.nicnt) and instrument folders to discover installed Native Instruments Kontakt libraries and generate structured articulation maps.

Is Theriar compatible with third-party MIDI loop drivers?

Yes. Theriar connects to virtual MIDI loop drivers (such as loopMIDI on Windows or IAC Driver on macOS) to send real-time keyswitch triggers directly from the Theriar interface to your active DAW track.
