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. * Terms of Use: https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/

Siremic B is back! ***Special re-introductory offer!! Free for a limited time only!!*** Please be sure to rate and review. Thanks! Siremic B (pronounced "Ceramic Bee") stands for Simple Remote Midi Controller (Buttons) -- and that's just what it is: Siremic B allows you to control your MIDI software by sending MIDI CC (Control Change) messages via WiFi to your Apple MIDI enabled Mac or rtpMIDI enabled PC (both your iPad and your Mac/PC must be on the same network or, in the case of a Mac, may be connected via an ad hoc network -- see setup details below). Literally at your fingertips, 40(!) customizable toggle buttons, 7 knobs and 2 faders are ready to jump into action. Freely assign any CC numbers and manage your presets. This button-centric setup makes Siremic B your perfect app for plugging in various sounds at the push of a button -- just like a virtual organ (and as a matter of fact, Siremic B was extensively tested connected to a pipe organ software instrument created in Native Instruments' Kontakt 5 sampler). Knobs and faders can be used from anything from controlling volume or panning to whatever your heart desires (and the software you control allows). ************************* Mac setup: 1a. Make sure that both your iPad and your Mac are on the same network and that your network setup allows the transmission of Apple MIDI packets. 1b. If the network you're on doesn't allow the transmission of Apple MIDI packets, don't panic. Siremic B works just as well when you create an ad hoc network between your Mac and your iPad. Here's how: i) On your Mac, click on the Wifi symbol in the top right corner of your desktop and select "Create Network…". Set up a network name, channel and security to your liking and click "Create". ii) On your iPad, launch Settings. Then go to "Wi-Fi" and under "Choose a Network…", you should see the network you just created on your Mac. Tap on it. 2. Launch Siremic B on your iPad. 3. Go to "Launchpad" on your Mac, select "Utilities" and then "Audio MIDI Setup". If you don't see the MIDI window, go to Window and select "Show MIDI Window". Click on the Network icon. In the MIDI Network Setup window, make sure that your Bonjour name matches that of the network. 4. In the Directory List, you should see your iPad. Click "Connect" to establish a session. Your iPad's name should now show up in your Participants list. Play around with the controls in Siremic B. If everything is set up correctly, you will see red lines appearing in the black Latency bar (they are more easily visible if you use the knobs or faders, as Siremic B sends multiple values). That means that your Mac is reading Apple Midi Packets correctly. ************************* PC setup: 1. Make sure that both your iPad and your PC are on the same network and that your network setup allows the transmission of Apple MIDI (rtpMIDI) packets. An rtpMIDI driver can be obtained from http://www.tobias-erichsen.de/software/rtpmidi.html *. To test the connection and data transmission between your iPad and your PC, a network protocol analyzer that can read rtpMIDI such as Wireshark may come in handy, available at wireshark.org * 2. Launch Siremic B on your iPad. 3. Launch the rtpMIDI setup frontend. 4. In the Directory List, you should see your iPad. Click "Connect" to establish a session. Your iPad's name should now show up in your Participants list. Play around with the controls in Siremic B. If everything is set up correctly, Wireshark will show rtpMIDI packets and their contents. Last but not least, credit where credit is due: Big kudos go out to Pete Goodliffe, whose PGMidi source files and helpful hints on his blog were invaluable in creating this project. * These websites are unaffiliated with Siremic B and therefore we cannot be held responsible for their contents.
