AVID release the *official STANDALONE 11R Editor* - Yes, that is OFFICIAL !

In the words of George Takei - "Ohhhhhhh myyyyyyyy !"......

AVID announce and release the *official* - "Eleven Rack Editor" (STANDALONE EDITOR).  Version 1.0.

Version 1.0 release January 23rd, 2014

The "11R users / community" have been pushing AVID for a long time for a standalone editor (according to AVID, this was the #1 user request);  which works without having to run Pro Tools (..or have it open) ...or using Pro |Tools as their main DAW.   As the 11R user community were greeted with a wall of "silence" from AVID - the proclamation was that 11R was dead.   Some of the more entrepreneurial community members took it upon themselves to develop basic rig / patch loaders- one such project was "Eleven HACK" (See my favourite links for the info.) - this was not a rig editor, but the start of what could have been a standalone editor project. 

So why is this such exciting news?
Firstly, it is FREE - costs NADA / ZIP.

History
The problem (historically) was that the Eleven Rack Editor was (INTEGRATED) within Pro Tools;  so this became a giant P.I.T.A. under certain conditions.

Using another DAW? Like Reason, Cubase, Logic?  No problem - just use your favourite DAW and the 11R Standalone Editor...........  (No longer will you need to modify everything via the 11R front panel buttons!!!)   There are some *caveats*; but hey - it's a version 1.0 release.

One other reason for this is that Pro Tools Version 11 no longer has the Eleven Rack integration / support - so in many ways - they have HAD to build the standalone editor (to prevent further outcry from the 11Rack community!).

What do you need? Specs?
The Eleven Rack Editor only works with Eleven Rack systems running 11RXP - Eleven Rack Expansion Pack (firmware version v2.0 or higher);  You MUST have the Expansion Pack.

The Application ALSO requires a 64-bit operating system—Windows 8, Windows 7, or OS X 10.8 or later, and the latest Eleven Rack drivers for your system.
