Your content is protected with ChaCha20 encryption, decoded on-device from CueCode data embedded in each video frame.

Benβs Toolbox Motion turns your iPhone into a wireless motion controller for Benβs Toolbox on Mac. The app sends iPhone motion data over your local network to the macOS app. There, sensor axes, AR positions, and combined movements can be freely mapped to MIDI CC controllers. MIDI output is handled by Benβs Toolbox on the Mac and can be used directly in Logic Pro. This lets you control modulation, expression, dynamics, filters, pitchbend-like movement, and other MIDI CC parameters intuitively by moving your hand. Depending on your mapping, tilt, up/down movement, left/right movement, and forward/back movement can be used separately or in combination. Features: - Wireless connection to Benβs Toolbox on macOS - Control via iPhone motion sensors - Optional AR position tracking for spatial movement - Sensor, AR, and combo modes - Freely configurable axes and MIDI CC mapping in the Mac app - Live display of current values - Display of the current articulation set and playing technique - Support for motion-based workflows in Logic Pro Benβs Toolbox Motion is a companion app. Benβs Toolbox for macOS is required.

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bens Toolbox Motion at none against CueTracks Player's 8. Bens Toolbox Motion also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). CueTracks Player's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
