Remote MIDI Controller
ReMiCt is a tool to control hardware or software MIDI instruments from browsers. ReMiCt is a Java application. It can be installed on any computer - Windows, Linux, Mac.
When ReMiCt is running, you can control MIDI instruments with a mouse in a browser. Or you can use a Wi-Fi enabled tablet or a phone with touch screen.
You can use many devices simultaneously. Share control of your instrument with bandmates.
ReMiCt converts slider values to MIDI CC messages. Read more about Control Change Messages
In addition, ReMiCt can send OSC messages.
