17 May 2013: Release of Tangent Hub v1.1.2
A major update of the Tangent Hub is now available for download from our support page. The Hub is required by the majority of software applications to communicate with our Element panels. It is also used by some applications to communicate with the Wave and Tangent Devices CP200 panels. Please check our application list for further details.
Since the previous release (v1.0.8) the following features have been added :
- The Hub now tracks which application has mouse focus. If the active application can be controlled from the panels then the Hub will switch the panels to follow.
- Keyboard shortcuts can be assigned to applications which support user customisation of the control layouts (support the Tangent Mapper). This is useful to add System shortcuts such as Alt+Tab or Cmd+Tab
- Keyboard shortcuts can be assigned to any application which does not explicitly support our products. For example this can be useful map the navigation keyboard shortcuts of editing packages to your panel's transport keys.
If you have any suggestions for additional features which may be useful to include in future releases then why not head over to our forum and let us know in the Product Suggestions area.

Tangent are pleased to announce support for the Element panels in FilmLight’s new on set colour grading system, FLIP.
We are delighted with the news from FilmLight that they are supporting our Element panels and it’s excellent timing that we’re able to announce this just before IBC. Tangent will be showing FLIP working with Element on their stand at IBC (7.G35), and you can also see the Element panels in action at FilmLight’s stand (7.F31).
FLIP is FilmLight’s latest product. It’s a real time grading system for use on set based on compact, bespoke hardware. The Element panels are ideally suited to this application due to their compact size. For more information on FLIP and FilmLight see http://www.filmlight.ltd.uk. |

12 April 2010: Blackmagic Design announce support for the Wave in DaVinci Resolve
:
We are excited to announce that the Wave panel will be supported by Blackmagic Design's newly launched Mac version of the DaVinci Resolve 7.0 colour correction system. The Wave panel will be shown running with Resolve on the Blackmagic booth at NAB.
Read the full Press Release on the Blackmagic Website.
19 March 2010: REDcineX supports Wave
:
We are excited to announce that the Wave panel is now supported by REDcineX for Mac, Build 104.
The Windows version is coming soon.
Once REDcineX reaches release status we will make further announcements.
20 February 2010: Cineform's Neo4K and Neo3D support Wave
:
The Wave is now supported by CineForm’s First Light application that is included with Neo4K and Neo3D on both Windows and Mac. First Light allows non-destructive adjustment of CineForm’s 2D and 3D Active Metadata parameters during post-production editing or effects workflows. Examples of 2D controls include adjustments for white balance, exposure, contrast, saturation, lift, gamma, and gain. Examples of 3D adjustments include convergence (horizontal, vertical, or skew), zoom, and keystoning.
The Wave replaces software sliders for adjusting these parameters with knobs and trackerball-dial pairs. The Wave offers a further workflow advantage for adjusting Active Metadata parameters in a non-linear editor (e.g., Final Cut Pro (Mac) or Premiere Pro (Win)) while the NLE is in the Windows foreground. This gives the effect that color or convergence adjustments are being made directly in the NLE.
18 January 2010: IFX Ant and Piranha Products to support Wave
:
Los Angeles, CA, USA Interactive Effects today announced full support for the
Tangent Wave control surface for both its Piranha and new IFX Ant film finisihing solutions.
Using the Wave control surface and IFX's GPU based colour and effects system,
users can grade interactively on a variety of source materials including EXR, DPX and Red Camera files.
Additionally any application function can be bound to the surface by the user, allowing
complete customizable control of the editing, effects and playback on the systems.
12 October 2009: Wave Color Support version 2.3 released:
A new version of the Wave Color Support package is now available on our support page.
Release 2.3 sees the introduction of the following features:
- Controls added for the HSL Keyer in the secondaries room.
- 10 x Jog speed when you hold down ALT and jog.
- Mouse emulator added allowing you to take control of the mouse from your Wave panel.
- Installer fixed to work correctly with Snow Leopard.
Full details can be found in the New in this release section of the Wave User Manual For Color also available on our support page.
17 August 2009: Wave Color Support version 1.9 released:
The full (non beta) version of the Wave Color Support package is now available on our support page.
There are no major changes from the beta release. We have added the still store transition angle to the list of parameters you can control from the Wave panel. Also, we have added this and the transition position to the default map where you'll find them in the still store room.
24 July 2009: Apple Color v1.5 supports the Wave:
We are very pleased to announce that the new release of Apple Color v1.5 includes an interface for the Wave panel. For the first time, a professional grade Colour Correction Control surface is within reach of every user!
To enable control of Color, users will first need to download the Apple Color Support pack from this website. The pack includes a Plugin to enable communication and the Wave Mapper – a utility which gives operators the ability to completely customise the operation of the panel to suit their own way of working.
A Beta test version of the Wave Color Support pack is now available to be dowloaded from our support page. There is also a manual giving full instructions on installation and operation. We expect that the beta phase to be short and that release v1.0 will be available very soon.
09 February 2009 : Iridas products support the Wave:
Iridas have announced that support for the Wave panel is now built into all 2009 SpeedGrade products, including SpeedGrade OnSet, SpeedGrade XR and SpeedGrade DI. FrameCycler DDS and FrameCycler DI also support the panel.

At IBC Assimilate will be showing Scratch running with the Wave panel. This will be the first public outing for any software application that supports the product. Support will be integrated into release versions of Scratch ready for the date that the panel begins shipping.
11 April 08 : Launching the Wave:
With the Wave we are bringing a new level of affordability and quality to control surfaces. The design draws heavily on the experience gained from our highly successful CP100 and CP200 panel ranges. The Wave is not intended to replace these panels, it is just aimed at the more budget conscious user.
Take a closer look on the Wave Product Page.
