Blue Cat Audio have updated Freeceiver, a plugin that can receive audio and MIDI streams sent by the Connector and Fader Hub software on a local network or remotely, through the Internet. As its name suggests, Freeceiver is available as a FREE download.
What’s new 1.2:
- Latency compensation: Connector can now evaluate, compensate and report the latency of the connection.
- Transport synchronization: Connector can now send MIDI Timecode (MTC) and MIDI Clock compatible signals to synchronize applications together.
- Manage synchronization with clock anticipation: the clock signal can compensate the connection latency to synchronize apps with no delay.
- Carry up to 32 audio channels for surround and Ambisonics support.
- MIDI System Exclusive (SysEx) support.
- Plug-in/app Features:
- The plug-in can now receive and transmit SysEx MIDI events.
- MIDI Thru option to merge incoming MIDI events with received events.
- Improved connection stability when sender under high CPU load.
- Improved connection status reporting in receiver.
- Find currently selected preset easily in the menu (folders containing the preset now display a check mark).
- New option to cycle next/previous preset in current bank.
- The plug-in can now send Bank Select and Program Change messages upon changes in the user interface to keep in sync with an external controller.
- Fixed memory leak in receiver when using resampling.
- Mac: Fixed location of text edit boxes changing when closing and re-opening the plug-in GUI in previous release.
- ASIO Driver:
- ASIO Positioning Protocol (A.P.P.) support: the ASIO driver can now control the transport of applications supporting the A.P.P. protocol (Cubase, Nuendo…) when being sent a clock signal.
- ASIO buffer size can now be set from the driver settings window.
- Audio compression and UPnP options can now be set from the driver settings window.
