What's New in PARAT+

1.5

May 6, 2021

Parat+ has a list of new features and improvements which enhance the functionality and integrity of this Open Sound Control (OSC) and Midi controller app into the workflow of musicians, artists and enthusiasts.  The Polar Controller, designed for realtime control in performances mixing of ambisonic sound design and compositions, was co-developed with Prof. Nick Fells from the University of Glasgow. This innovative three dimensional controller gives immediate range controls for angle, distance and elevation and allows unparalleled control for ambisonic performance and mixing, and also allows further creative mappings of effects, sampler and synth parameters. Ableton Link and AudioBus integration is available, making this app a perfect addition to any performance setup, either as a standalone controller or to extend the potential of gestural controls within established software setups.

AUV3

Any chance of you guys adding AUV3 support?

Parat+, the MIDI & OSC controller app I've been waiting for...

30 faders that are customizable on the fly! Faders can be easily scaled, inverted, and switched from absolute mode to relative mode on the fly via the very convenient and accessible options wheel at the bottom of each fader. Gestures/movements of the faders can very easily be recorded and played back in either loop or one-shot modes. Doesn't seem to be any limit to the duration of these recorded gestures either. I can say that I have been waiting for an app like this for a while.
And I've only just scratched the surface with this app thus far. As of now I've only used it as a MIDI controller, but this is also an OSC controller app with additional sources that can be used to modulate the faders.
Along with saving presets of your favorite setups, it appears as though gestures can be recorded and stored as well. Faders can be named and color-coded (8 colors currently available).
With Parat+ I was very quickly able to vastly extend the mod matrix of (a beloved iOS Synth w/ a limited mod matrix), by adding another 30 customizable/recordable modulations to this iOS Synth via MIDI CCs. And since each fader can record it's own scalable gesture, these go far beyond any synth's basic LFO wave shapes or envelopes.
The developer is also very accessible and responsive. No worries on issues with customer support for Parat+. This is a great app!
