This looks quite promising, especially for connecting multiple instances of GP…
Im still to try this other solution (free)

I’ve just seen this and thought the exact same thing.
Also it can send midi too so could be a loopbe alternative on the PC. Definitely worth downloading the demo.
I purchased this today. It tested out wonderfully for sending audio and MIDI between instances of GP, and also to external apps (I tested between GP and Reaper so far). Didn’t notice any latency.
I haven’t tested between machines over a network yet, but I anticipate good results from what I’ve seen so far.

I just briefly read the description. Does this also work across different OS?
Can I connect between Windows and MacOS over the network?

I don’t think that there might be any restrictions… networking data should be “neutral”.
They offer demo versions, so why not just try? 
I do not own a Mac to test this. Just interested in case I ever get into the situation with a Mac user.
Maybe you could try to connect to someone’s (Mac) system over the internet?
That would be a very interesting experiment. Like Steinberg VST Connect without Steinberg.
I’m on the same page as you all, looks very promising for multi-instance GP. Virtually unlimited amount of cables, both audio and midi. Awesome!
This is not an APP, it is a plugin.

Did you run Plugin Manager?
Within a local area network (LAN) every IP has to be unique, there is no way to have multiple devices with the same IP, at least as far as i know.
I just saw that you consider to have only one device (of a pool of devices with a same IP) to be switched on… i guess this could work, but i don’t know for sure. Maybe this also depends on how your router manages IP-addresses…
And of course, no Blue Cat’s Connector for iPad?…

Yes, a Blue Cat’s Connector for my iPad would be great, a game changer for me.
If you’re sending to another machine over the network, there’s no need to worry about IP conflicts. You can simply change the port number for each instance of Connector.
If you’re only using one machine, you’d choose either App or Local Host instead of Network, and for each instance of Connector, use a different port number. Each instance of Connector has very low CPU usage, so it shouldn’t affect the performance of your machine much.

What is that App?
If you’re using Connector within the same application, you choose App. If you are using it between different applications(even multiple instances of GP), you choose Local Host.

It is worth reminding everyone that the Blue Cat Connector is a plugin and not a stand-alone application - you need a host application like a DAW or similar that uses or works with audio plugins. Definitely not a replacement for the various virtual audio cable products that have been discussed in the Community. I have the BCC, the User Manual might be of interest for those interested in what Blue Cat has published about this product.

I think this will only work with something like Zero Tier One which creates a LAN from a WAN. Other than that maybe port forwarding might do it. Latency will be an issue though.
