Think of it as software that lets you host, sequence, chain and layer plugins together. Freestyle CM 1.5 has all the features of the full Freestyle, but is restricted only in that it works exclusively with our Plugins Suite of instruments and effects, as included with every issue of the digital and print magazine.

And as that’s some 93 plugins in total, it’s not a big limitation (but then we would say that).
