Ravine DSP has released Inter::State 1.3, adding Slot Scenes to its Windows-compatible VST3/AU effects host. The feature lets each hosted plug-in slot retain up to eight parameter snapshots, then recall them instantly, morph between neighboring states, or move between states with tempo-synchronized crossfades.
As reported by Sonic State and detailed on Ravine DSP’s product pages, the update is aimed at producers who have been leaning on duplicated plug-in instances and extensive DAW automation merely to switch an effect between a handful of settings. Instead, a single hosted effect can become a performance-controlled, scene-based processor inside the Inter::State workspace.
Slot Scenes can save a hosted plug-in’s parameter configuration and, optionally, its mixer settings. The three transition modes cover distinct use cases: Selector provides immediate recall; Morph continuously blends between adjacent scene slots; and Crossfade makes beat-aware moves from the current state to a selected destination over a musical duration.
That distinction matters for Windows users working in Ableton Live, Cubase, Reaper, or other VST3 hosts. A distortion can jump between utility and aggressive settings, a filter can be swept across prepared states, or an ambience chain can transition over bars without requiring a crowded set of automation lanes.
Ravine DSP says its zero-latency Auto-Gain system is intended to manage level changes caused by extreme scene shifts, reducing the chance that automated tonal changes also produce unexpected clipping or large volume jumps.
The practical appeal is project portability: users can save a rack or an entire Inter::State session and reopen it in another compatible DAW with hosted plug-in states, macro mappings, and modulators retained. Slot Scenes are included in those saved configurations, making them more useful than a temporary live-performance feature.
The included Inter::State[Bridge] plug-in also exposes eight shared macros from a single instrument-track surface. Ravine DSP says subscribed Inter::State instances can receive those controls through zero-latency shared memory, avoiding virtual MIDI routing for project-wide control.
The Founders Edition is priced at $69 or €60, with the developer planning an eventual increase to $99 or €85. For Windows-based producers whose sessions have turned into forests of copied effects and automation clips, version 1.3’s key change is simple: effect-state changes can now live inside the host rather than across the arrangement.

A host designed to keep routing in one insert
Inter::State remains a fixed-layout effects host with three racks and a unified routing view. It supports serial, parallel, multiband, and send-style configurations, while preserving MAIN, RACK, and SLOT-level mixing controls within one plug-in instance.The practical appeal is project portability: users can save a rack or an entire Inter::State session and reopen it in another compatible DAW with hosted plug-in states, macro mappings, and modulators retained.

Windows availability and pricing
Inter::State 1.3 is available as a 64-bit VST3 plug-in for Windows 10 and Windows 11; AU support is offered for macOS. The update is free for existing owners, and Ravine DSP offers a seven-day unrestricted trial.The Founders Edition is priced at $69 or €60, with the developer planning an eventual increase to $99 or €85.
