Usine is an patch oriented sound software where you can add modules or VST plug-ins and connect them without restriction. The main purpose of this program is to provide a real time analysis of an input signal and then react with, and modify plug-in parameters to produce the sound.

Better than hours of explanation take a look on bellow or with a better quality here.

	Optimized for touch-screen monitors.
	Usine is designed as a "portable" application. It means that you can copy the program on a removable device like an USB key.
	Usine can run as stand-alone or as VST plug-in in your favourite host.
	Build modular sound processing: creates patch with "modules" and connect them by virtual wires very simply.
	Analyse input or generated sound, for example pitch, peaks or dynamics to create adaptive effects, modify any parameter in real time.
	Use the built-in virtual mixing table to mix the sound produced by different patches on each tracks (up to 16).
	Organize patches, sounds, and effects on a timeline with the sequencer mode. Create complex automations curves. Very powerful Modular Mixing concept
	Usine contains a large set of “ready to play” patches library: Auto Pan, Bass Liner, Bit Crusher, Break Beat Maker, Compressor, Expander, Filter Bank, Synchronized Filter, Forward & Reverse, Freezor, Kaos Player, Limiter, Master meter, Metronome, Phaser, Random Delay, Resonnator, Step filter, Stereo enhancer, Midi Clock synchro.
	Unlimited number of internal audio buses.
	SMPTE synchronization with external sequencers. MIDI Time Code and MIDI Machine Control support.
	Create huge, creative or stupid audio routing within the mixing table. For example, routing, a patch output to another patch input, or create a virtual master effect send and return, etc.
	Manage 20 external audio sources (10 stereo) and apply different effects to any of them.
	Create flexible Surround (up to 16 channels) projects: all audio tracks are 7.1, 8.0 or 16.0. The output sound can routed to any of the 20 available outputs, depending on your sound card.
	Create inserts patches on any input / output channels. For example a master limiter or a master reverb.
	Complete VST® processing: You can use any VST instruments or effect in patches and modify any VST Parameter in real time. Create a front-end simple interface.
	Complete MIDI automation: assign any Usine visual object to a midi controller very simply by using the midi-learn command. Complete integration of motorized external controllers.
	Complete MIDI input/output management, for VSTi instruments or external expanders.
	Load up to 256 patches in memory in a "grid" and activate them as you want in real time.
	Synchronize patches and VST plug-ins with a master tempo. Use unusual and absurd tempo from 0! To 10000000000!
	Record your creations directly on the hard disk in real time: separate tracks, inputs and outputs.
	All Usine functions are "real-time", and you can resample, modify, input sound on the fly.
	Of course, save patches, complete workspaces, and configurations, for a very quick adaptation to different projects.
	Use any sample rate, depending on your Asio sound card. Usine has a 32 bit floating point audio engine.
	Unlimited number of internal Audio, Data and Midi buses,
	Unlimited Undo/Redo.
	Include scripting capabilities to create complex patches in a Pascal-like language,
	Full Open Sound Control (OSC) compatibility to communicate with other computers connected to the network or Internet,
	If you are a C++ or Delphi programmer you can easily create new users modules with the API.
	Play videos and synchronize audio very simply
