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.

Frequently Asked Questions

What file formats does Theriar export? +

Theriar exports vendor-standard Cubase and Nuendo expression maps (.expressionmap), Logic Pro articulation sets (.articulatonslot), Studio One Sound Variations, and Dorico library files.

How does real-time MIDI auditioning work in Theriar? +

Using virtual MIDI port drivers (such as loopMIDI on Windows or IAC Driver on macOS), Theriar sends real-time keyswitch signals directly from the Theriar interface to your active DAW track.

Can I use Theriar with third-party Kontakt libraries? +

Yes. Theriar scans for any Kontakt library with a valid .nicnt registry file, including third-party vendors like Spitfire Audio, Orchestral Tools, 8Dio, and Cinesamples.

How does Theriar's OCR Scanner simplify mapping? +

Instead of typing hundreds of keyswitch names manually, Theriar's optical character recognition engine reads PDF manuals or screenshots and turns them into organized articulation matrices instantly.

Is Theriar free to use? +

Theriar offers a free tier with core mapping features. A premium license unlocks advanced multi-track template exporting, batch processing, and priority support.
