Blue Cat Audio has announced a free update for its audio and MIDI scripting software that can be programmed to create your own effects or virtual instruments inside a DAW.

Version 3.34 of Blue Cat’s Plug’n Script comes with an updated and more performant scripting engine, a new version of the user interface programming language with many new features and enhancements, the ability to use any number of parameters, and many other improvements and fixes.

This new version makes the creation of audio and MIDI plugins easier and gives more power to advanced plugin developers.

With this plugin, you can write your own plugin with very little knowledge about programming. If you do not care about programming, Blue Cat’s Plug’n Script can also be used as a regular multi-effects processor with existing scripts or to get someone else to write this very particular utility you have been searching for for years and cannot find anywhere.

If you are an experienced programmer, you will find in Plug’n Script a powerful development environment for audio plugins: prototype algorithms quickly, generate a state-of-the-art graphical user interface (GUI) without a single line of code, and export a VST plugin, right from within your favourite DAW! Creating a plug-in has never been so fast!
