## What is Giada?
Giada is an open source, minimalistic and hardcore music production tool. Designed for DJs, live performers and electronic musicians.

## Main features
* Giada is a loop machine — build your performance in real time by layering audio tracks or MIDI events, driven by the main sequencer;
* Giada is a sample player — load samples from your crates and play them with a computer keyboard or a MIDI controller;
* Giada is a song editor — write songs from scratch or edit existing live recordings with the powerful Action Editor, for a fine-tuned control;
* Giada is a live recorder — record sounds from the real world and MIDI events coming from external devices or other apps;
* Giada is an FX processor — process samples or audio/MIDI input signals with VST instruments from your plug-ins collection;
* Giada is a MIDI controller — control other software or synchronize physical MIDI devices by using Giada as a MIDI master sequencer.
