Blue Cat Audio Remote Control Software MIDI Controller
Allowing you to control multiple third-party MIDI-controllable plug-ins from a single user interface, the Remote Control Software MIDI Controller from Blue Cat Audio consists of 3 plug-ins, the Remote Control 16, Remote Control 32, and Remote Control 64, offering the ability to manage 16, 32, or 64 parameters respectively. Additionally, the software can be used to provide control over complicated external hardware MIDI devices.
Each controller can be assigned a MIDI channel and CC number as well as a customized response curve. The software can also be used for MIDI control remapping and transformation, with the ability to assign an input parameter a given MIDI CC while assigning the associated output parameter to another MIDI CC with different response curve parameters.
The Remote Control's skin can be customized from a selection of included options, or through the ability to design your own, allowing you to tweak the GUI appearance to your needs and taste. The software is Mac and Windows compatible and will work as a DirectX, VST, AU, RTAS, or AAX plug-in.
