Product Information

Blue Cat's Connector is an audio & MIDI streaming plug-in that can be used to transmit audio and MIDI signals in real time between several computers or applications, or create your own routings within a single application, with minimal latency.

Have you ever dreamt to overcome the limitations of your favorite DAW and draw virtual audio and MIDI cables between any places that accept plug-ins?

Have you ever been frustrated not to be able to create feedback loops with plug-ins?

What about connecting multiple applications together, on different computers?

The wait is over! Blue Cat's Connector lets you do all of this, and more! It can stream audio and MIDI data in real time, between any locations that accepts plug-ins: one or several applications, on one or several machines connected to a network.

With precise buffering control, you can achieve the lowest possible latencies: down to 0 samples, when used in a single application.

Its built-in resampling and drift compensation algorithms let you create seamless connections between locations with different sample rates and unsynchronized master clocks: it just works!

Blue Cat Audio Standards:

  • Available in most plug-in formats for Mac and Windows.
  • Full MIDI control and automation support, MIDI Learn.
  • No CPU load on idle: processing shuts down when fed with silence (optimal CPU usage).
  • Customizable user interface with transparency & zoom.
  • Smooth Bypass: noiseless plug-in activation / deactivation.
  • Undo/Redo.
  • Full featured integrated presets manager.
  • Copy/paste the state of the plug-in between instances.
  • Any sample rate supported.

Version 1.4

  • 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 synchrinize apps with no delay.
  • Carry up to 32 audio channels for surround and Ambisonics support.
  • MIDI System Exclusive (SysEx) support.
  • 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.

  • 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 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.
