Blue Cat Audio Crafters Pack

Blue Cat Audio Crafters Pack

The Blue Cat Audio Crafters Pack is a seven-product toolkit for building your own audio tools. Write custom effects and virtual instruments with Plug'n Script, design your own MIDI control surfaces with Remote Control, and wire everything together in PatchWork, used either as a plugin or as a standalone host.

MB-7 Mixer lets you create multiband processors from any plugins you choose, including your own scripts. The three "Multi" analysers are included as well, so you can measure the result, match existing gear and see exactly how each processing chain affects the signal. It suits sound designers, producers who like to customise their workflow, and developers prototyping new ideas.

• Plug'n Script is a scripting environment for building your own audio and MIDI effects or virtual instruments without leaving your DAW, available as a plugin and a standalone application.
• Remote Control is a customisable virtual control surface for controlling and monitoring several MIDI-controllable plugins or devices from one interface; it runs as a plugin or a standalone application.
• StereoScope Multi compares the stereo image of several tracks in real time, so you can see where each instrument sits in the stereo field.
