## What is ProRemote?

ProRemote is the World's first 32 channel touch sensitive control surface that fits in the palm of your hand.

ProRemote allows you to control your Audio applications wirelessly using your existing Wi-Fi network.  Get realtime meter data and control your rig from across the room with flying faders!

One binary runs on your iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch!

- Are you behind the drums and need to check your levels and press record?

- Do you frequently need to be in two places at the same time?

- Do you like sitting on the couch and playing guitar instead of being glued to the computer?

ProRemote is your solution!

ProRemote is free to try or you can subscribe to all the features or just a subset.  If you only need basic control, just the transport subscription can be added.  Or have a look at ProTransport, an inexpensive "transport only" solution for controlling your rig.  

ProRemote on an iPad is like having four Mackie Control Universal Pros, but better because it's wireless and much less expensive.  You get almost $4k of hardware for the price of ProRemote.  And ProRemote also works on your iPhone and iPad, or both at the same time.

Need an XY controller? Check out Pro XY.  Use gravity to turn your knobs!  Pro XY can also be unlocked in ProRemote.

MIDI pads for drum programming or other tasks sounds nice, right?  ProPads is your solution and can also be subscribed to within ProRemote.

ProRemote also contains a virtual mouse and keyboard that allows full control of your audio machine for those hard to reach places!  You can see and control your full computer from anywhere in your studio!

This version officially supports:
- ProTools
- Apple Logic
- Ableton Live
- Soundtrack Pro
- Digital Performer

Unofficially we support (no skin or custom fader tapers, not all features may work):
- Cubase
- MIO Console
- Sonar
- Reaper
- Reason
- Vegas
- FL Studio
- Studio One
- Audition
- Tracktion
- Final Cut Pro 
- Any audio software that supports Mackie Control protocol (or HUI protocol).

** You must download ProRemoteServer in order to use ProRemote. **

Please visit www.folabs.com/download.html to download the server.

ProRemote is Mac only- Windows is unofficially supported via the new CoreMIDI feature that uses Apple CoreMIDI instead of our own protocol.  Use rtpMIDI on Windows.  CoreMIDI is not officially supported because it is buggy.

** PLEASE report bugs to us instead of leaving a bad review! **

Send a bug report to support@folabs.com and we will fix the bug ASAP as we work on the next release.  We want this release to be as rock-solid as our last version so you can focus on making music. 

* Please note that certain Avid or Digidesign Ethernet based control surfaces can interfere with ProRemote's ability to control all 32 channels.  In some cases ProTools will limit MIDI control surfaces to eight channels only.  Please contact us before purchasing if you are unsure.

* We will no longer support any iOS less than iOS 14 with this release. *  For those users with older devices that cannot run iOS 14, just stay with the older version of ProRemote, it is still fully supported and can still be restored from the AppStore without problems. *

### 1/5 — No Windows Support

*2023-03-29*

My workstation is a PC and I don’t see anything to get this working on windows. When on the site which looks ancient it only shows Mac downloads.

### 3/5 — Mac Only

*2022-10-24*

Thought it was for windows. Glad I didn’t get the paid version.

### 5/5 — So far so good

*2020-05-18*

I just downloaded this app.
You have to download the software for the server to your computer which I was not aware of. 

That being said, once installed and a few network updates on my iPhone, this is working well.

The features and consistency are far superior to the iPad EU controller offered by Avid. I have no affiliation with this product, just want people who need it to trust the purchase.

### 5/5 — Love all Folabs apps and support cares to help

*2020-04-20*

Love all Folabs apps and support cares to help

### 1/5 — Don't buy this app!!

*2019-01-25*

If you don't like it, like me, you can't get a refund.

### 1/5 — Useless

*2018-05-09, version 3.1.1*

I bought this for $99 when it first came out thinking it was a game changer but wasted my money. I want a refund because this app does nothing.

### 1/5 — Pretty much useless

*2016-03-04*

From what I can tell, this is a glorified remote fader. Hard to know, though, since the company offers no instructions on how to use it. But so far I've found no way, for example, to start and stop recording. Total waste of money for my purposes.  You can't use this to actually operate Pro Tools from a live room or vocal booth, for instance.

### 1/5 — Not working with Digital Performer

*2016-02-19, version 3.0.0*

I have spent 2 hours trying to make that app working with digital performer 8 and 9 but nothing is working as they say even after doing all what they say!

### 1/5 — POS

*2015-04-06, version 2.5.4*

What a crap app !!!!
It's not working at all !!!!!!

### 1/5 — The app never worked for me on either macbook's

*2015-03-10*

I downloaded this program and installed the software. The device connects with the server on the computer but does not show in the audio midi setup window thus preventing the app to connect to protools. May I have a refund please?!?!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 4.5.1 — 2025-04-01

- Minor bug fixes
- Brought back old App Icon

### 4.5.0 — 2025-02-01

- This version fixes a crash bug that occurs when the remote can't find a server.
- Also added support for CoreMIDI so Windows users can now use ProRemote if they like.  Please note this is an unsupported feature dues to bugs in Apple's CoreMIDI network implementation.

### 4.0.0 — 2021-11-26

Everything is new in this version of ProRemote.  ProRemote was written a long time ago and has evolved over 14 years.   Much of that old code has become unsupported by Apple which means it could be the source of bugs when Apple updates the OS.  They no longer test unsupported APIs.   It took over a year, but all that code has been replaced with new code that should last another 10+ years.  It wouldn't be fair to do so much work and have no new features, so we added a bunch of features to the Pads utility which now includes gesture support and some other neat tricks it can do.  A 10-key numeric keypad was also added.   ProRemote is now localized in French with other languages coming soon.

### 3.1.2 — 2019-01-19

With so many different screen sizes, we needed to make minor fixes for the right side bank arrow.
We also removed the Watch app as Apple makes it hard to maintain our software.

### 3.1.1 — 2018-03-21

Fixes missing right side bank shift button (white double arrow).
