Blue Cat Audio Releases Blue Cat's Plug'n Script 3.5 - Audio and MIDI Scripting Plug-In Update

Blue Cat Audio has released a free update for Blue Cat's Plug'n Script, its audio and MIDI scripting software that can be programmed to create your own effects or virtual instruments.

With this new version, it is possible to export audio and MIDI scripts as an independent standalone application, in addition to the existing plug-in formats (AAX, VST, VST3 and Audio Unit). This lets you create and distribute audio applications easily like never before.

This free update also adds MIDI System Exclusive (SysEx) messages support to the MIDI stack, with new features in the MIDI library to help with MIDI SysEx scripting as well as new example scripts.

What's New in Blue Cat's Plug'n Script 3.5:

• Projects can now be exported as standalone audio/MIDI applications.
• SysEx MIDI events support (RAW Sysex data stream uses series of 4 bytes MIDI events).
• Updated MIDI library scripts for SysEx support.
• New MIDI Timecode and MIDI Clock generation scripts.
• Updated MIDI log script with SysEx support.
• Enlarged text fields in export window.
• App can now receive and send MIDI even when no audio interface is selected.
• App: it is now possible to adjust compression settings and activate UpnP for the Connector Slave network Audio Device.
• Plug-in and App can now send Bank Select and Program Change messages upon changes in the user interface to keep in sync with external controller.
• Find currently selected preset easily in the menu (folders containing the preset now display a check mark).
• Added an option to cycle next/previous preset in current bank.
• Improved performance of VST3 plug-in when receiving program change messages.
• Fixed display issue with large output strings.
• Fixed plug-in windows not resized upon zoom when statically set in the root SKIN tag.
