Here's a new video tutorial explaining how to connect Pro Tools and Logic together with Connector:
Sending MIDI and audio back and forth between Pro Tools and Logic
Enjoy!

I'll take a look, but it really seems like something changed with the latest version as far as MainStage is concerned. It's a perfect combination though, since MainStage is dirt cheap and comes with all the Logic instruments, if you're using any other DAW and have a Mac you can get Alchemy back for what? $30 and a copy of Connector!Blue Cat Audio wrote: ↑Tue Jul 12, 2022 3:32 amNice! Anything particular we should know about it to set things up?machinesworking wrote: ↑Mon Jul 11, 2022 7:59 am Just an FYI for people, I was able with the latest version of Connector to get MainStage talking to other DAWs like Live and DP.

just read the Virtual Audio Cable freeware v3 manages to do just that. i wonder if they got some ninja coders that picked up on the vintage digital audio movement ... too bad i loved blue cat. but so far i cant even rename controls in patchwork... just says control 1-99? thats not a convenient way to automate in 2022.. with post its on my screenBlue Cat Audio wrote: ↑Mon Jul 11, 2022 7:28 am Well, the issue is that Connector is not compatible with these two antique operating systems, so I am afraid it will not help you.

no, they started development on VAC 20 years ago; I was using it when this forum was new. VAC3 is an old version. VAC4 is the current one.hiroshige123 wrote: ↑Sat Jul 16, 2022 9:46 am just read the Virtual Audio Cable freeware v3 manages to do just that. i wonder if they got some ninja coders that picked up on the vintage digital audio movement
also, VAC3 isnt actually a plugin, and is an intel, windows-only application; it doesnt run on Macs, let alone ppc and OS9.
my other modular synth is a bugbrand

I am not really sure you can still find easy ways to build software for OS9!

Well it was possible some decades ago, and there is SheepShaver the emulator which should be able to run all development tools from Apple at that time… I guess you could even program for an Apple ][ with Apple Pascal…Blue Cat Audio wrote: ↑Mon Jul 18, 2022 7:37 am I am not really sure you can still find easy ways to build software for OS9!
But this would be only interesting for computer archeologists I guess…

blue cat had some freeware stuff that ran on powerpc once so i hope my old G4 mac mini can run connector one day and bring back those cool powerpc only plugins to us
bluecat? powerpc on a more recent os x?

Its easier to connect just a cheap audio interface and route analog…
I can’t imagine that its easy to compile a 2022 plugin for a 20 year old OS…
Btw. You can run PPC only apps/plugins in a virtual machine running Snow Leopard with Rosetta 1… Its also magnitudes faster than the original machines…

Back-porting software to antique systems is just a daunting task, so it is definitely a no-go!

Blue Cat Audio Connector or the new Fader Hub for iOS on the iPad/iPad Pro would be awesome! Please, do it if you can, Blue Cat Audio!SolarAxix wrote: ↑Wed Mar 23, 2022 4:42 amI want to add my vote for iOS support. Pretty much all current iOS devices support the use of an Ethernet adapter either directly with a USB-C adapter on current gen iPad Air and iPad Pro tables and other devices with the camera connection kit (USB 3 version with a lightning port for additional power works the best unless using a powered USB hub). This should be more than enough to provide low-latency network connectivity to pass audio back and forth.Blue Cat Audio wrote: ↑Mon Jan 24, 2022 8:37 amWe currently have no plans for iOS, but who knows. If the intent is to deliver audio thru Wifi, there is however no chance that you can get reliable streaming.
And there could still be some value for midi-only transfers over wireless too (either to or from another PCs/Macs or between iOS devices).
I'm thinking of the following situation: You have a great home studio, but you only have one room available and no vocal booth. You would like to leave the singer alone in the room during the recording. What if it would be able to sit in the living room and use the iPad as a remote control in any DAW (sure, that already exists!) - but, with the help of a connector or fader hub, you could also use the internal iPad mic or the mic from the Airpods as a "talkback", right? Of cause it's already possible with another computer, but with an iPad it would be more comfortable.

It works pretty well with a Windows tablet too

Well, that's nice for any Windows user. Congrats! But if my whole studio is Mac-centric, I obviously don't want to infest it with a Windows tablet.

Three questions:
• What is the internal resolution (and also input/output resolution) of this plugin: 32-Bit FP or 64-Bit FP?
• Can you use it in a virtual machine and then route the signal back to the main OS (host)? Say you have Nuendo on your main OS, you also have a virtual machine installed on the same computer with a second copy of your Nuendo installed on said virtual machine. Can the signal from Nuendo on the virtual machine be sent to Nuendo on the host OS? Is that even possible?
• Is there a guarantee of bit-perfect transfer? How would one check if the transfer was bit-perfect?
