Compare

Two instruments, one standard.

Both are built around the performance that cannot happen twice. The difference is what happens after the take.

The relationship

One recorder inside both.

Concertus contains Continuo’s recorder. The identical code, not a copy. The recorder an operator trusts at the downbeat is the same one inside the DAW at the mix.

Sessions open in either

A session recorded in one application opens in the other. Nothing is locked to the tool that made it.

Projects move freely

A project is a folder with a portable project file. Carry it between platforms and it stays the same project: same tracks, names, and takes.

Side by side

What each one carries.

The recorder is common ground. What follows the take belongs to Concertus.

Concertus

Continuo

In both applications

Journaled, crash-proof capture

Up to 192 tracks at 24-bit, 44.1 to 192 kHz. Every take is journaled and rebuilt byte-exact after a crash.

Included

Isolated monitoring and metering

Faders, solos, and meters shape only what you hear. The recorded file is byte-for-byte identical whether monitoring was on or off.

Included

The session take library

The whole session on one timeline, with gapless take-to-take review and a click anywhere to locate.

Included

Broadcast Wave files that travel

Full bext with TimeReference on every take, RF64 beyond 4 GB, and iXML verified against Pyramix’s own exports.

Included

Concertus adds

Take-based editing with the fade editor

Assemble the performance from the session’s takes: source and destination thinking, every crossfade shown visually, nothing ever rendered over your source.

Included

Not included

ChronoPan™ array mixing and AU hosting

Panning that models your actual array, 64-bit summing, AU inserts and sends, and a calibrated +12 dB boost zone.

Included

Not included

Switching

Coming from another tool.

These tools earned their place. Here is what changes when you move.

If you use Pyramix

You chose the deepest classical tool of its generation, and you live with its age: one supported OS and hardware keys. Continuo writes files your Pyramix workflow already understands, verified against its own exports, so adopt it as the capture front end today. When you are ready, Concertus is the modern room.

If you use Sequoia

You have world-class source-destination editing, on one operating system, in an interface thirty years in the making. Concertus is the same classical editing mindset in a focused, modern application, with a recorder underneath that treats your capture as untouchable.

If you use REAPER

You already believe in modern software. But you have been assembling a classical workflow from general-purpose parts: custom actions, scripts, and menus aimed at other genres. This is what you were configuring toward, native and out of the box. Purpose-built beats endlessly configured.

Choosing

Which one is for you.

Continuo

You record and hand off.

Capture the performance, hand the takes to the workflow that finishes the work, and set up for the next session.

Inside Continuo

Concertus

You carry the work to release.

Recording is the start. Editing, mixing, and delivery follow in the same place, so the project never leaves your hands.
