• Logic Pro on the same Mac
• UAD Console for UAD Mixer Controller features

The macOS app controls Logic Pro and UAD Console using Accessibility APIs. The iPad app is a thin client — all tools, images, and data come from the Mac.
BOUNCER TOOL
• Full Bouncer Tool control from iPad
• Preview Main Presets, Bounce Versions, and final output names
• Selection Preflight and Preflight Only with live status
• Review and save the Routing Map after preflight or completion
more • The Articulations page now shows the active state confirmed by Ben’s Toolbox, velocity, and Permanent, Momentary, and Toggle modes.
• Momentary techniques now respond to press, hold, and release and indicate the return to the last permanent technique.
• Order, Logic Art ID, and switch channel are visible; up to 32 articulations are mapped unambiguously.
• Add CC Monitor Plugin now reports progress and errors and uses a compatible insertion fallback when needed.
• Improved stability when connections, tracks, or Art Sets change.
These articulation features require Ben’s Toolbox 4.2.8 or newer on Mac.
4.3 Sep 20
• More reliable Bouncer synchronization with Ben’s Toolbox on Mac, including startup status, session restore, destination folders and Track Stack structure.
