NovoNotes Duo 1.11.0

**NovoNotes Duo Review**

NovoNotes Duo is an innovative application designed to enhance music production within desktop digital audio workstations (DAWs) on Mac computers. Comprising several "mini-apps," this software significantly expands the functionality of existing DAW platforms. Currently, two notable mini-apps are available, with further developments expected in subsequent updates.

• SideRack Server

  The SideRack mini-app facilitates the integration of audio plugins that operate on mobile devices, such as iPads and iPhones, seamlessly into a desktop DAW environment. This application enables users to harness the capabilities of the AUv3 plugin ecosystem while taking advantage of the unique touch interface that mobile devices provide.

  SideRack consists of two integral components: the "SideRack Plugin," which is installed within the DAW on a Mac, and the "SideRack Server," which functions on a mobile device. This configuration allows for rapid transmission of audio and MIDI signals from the DAW to the SideRack Server via a USB connection, streamlining the processing workflow.

• MIDI Controller

  The MIDI Controller mini-app transforms smartphones or tablets into functional MIDI controllers for desktop DAWs. It supports MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE), which allows for intricate and nuanced performances. This app is compatible with a variety of DAWs, making it an excellent choice for real-time control during live performances, music production sessions in home studios, or as a portable controller option while on the move.
