Network Audio Protocol V2 Released

(2025/05/25)

We are happy to announce a major update of our network audio/MIDI communication protocol, with the release of Blue Cat's Connector 1.4, Freeceiver 1.2 and PatchWork 2.72!

This free update allows the plug-ins and apps to carry up to 32 audio channels for surround and ambisonics streaming, adds network latency compensation and transport/clock synchronization capabilities, improved connection stability and many other improvements.

Connector, our virtual cable plug-in that lets you connect applications together locally or thru the Internet provides the core features of this new protocol. Freeceiver is a free implementation that can receive audio and MIDI signals sent by Connector, and PatchWork, our virtual patchbay for plug-in can be used as a processing server thru the network protocol.

An update for Fader Hub is also expected next month, with groundbreaking new features and enhancements for realtime network collaboration, thanks to this major communication protocol update. A preview of this upcoming update is already available to existing customers.
