Blue Cat Audio has released Remote Control version 3.1, a free update of their virtual control surface software that can be used to control multiple plug-ins or MIDI-compatible devices from a single user interface.

In addition to most existing plug-in formats (VST, VST3, AAX, Audio Unit), this new version is now available as a standalone application, to control MIDI devices directly without the need for a host application. It also improves the integration with physical control surfaces and brings a couple of other improvements and fixes (full list below).

What's New in Blue Cat's Remote Control 3.1:

Now available as a standalone application (can run without any host application).

Added an option in global & preset input settings to send MIDI events when MIDI-enabled parameters are modified in the plug-in (to update control surfaces accordingly). These MIDI output messages work independently from the usual Remote Control outputs (it's only for control surface feedback).

Improved undo management and automation when using the mouse wheel to move knobs and sliders.

Fixed VST3 version not showing in Cubase.

Fixed VST3 version not loading properly in Ableton Live 11.

Price: 39 EUR/USD instead of 49 (20% off) until August 21st, 2022.

System requirements:

Intel or M1 Mac running Mac OS 10.9 or newer.
