Digital Doctor has released ShowControlPro v2 software for Mac OS X, which allows control of live audio mixes via MIDI. Mix parameters and outboard FX are controlled using MIDI program changes to recall snapshots and patches in digital desks (Yamaha 02R, Digico D5) and FX (Yamaha SPX 990, TC D-2) that are capable of receiving MIDI program change data. This frees up the sound engineer to concentrate on the mix, rather than worrying about changing FX patches manually.

ShowControlPro requires MacOSX (10.2 or later), a MIDI interface and compatible Mac drivers for OSX. ShowControlPro costs £95 + VAT
