Since our last release in September  we’ve been busy working to extend and enhance support for our full range of panels. So we’re pleased to announce that version 1.7.0 of the Tangent Hub is now available to download.

This latest release incorporates our new bundled plugins for Adobe Premiere Pro and Lightroom Classic plus support for Open Sound Control (OSC):

Adobe Premiere Pro 

• Enhanced support for Premiere Pro – audio and effects can now be controlled.
• Over 100 additional controls have been added.
• We’re also hoping that Adobe will add further support for Lumetri in due course – we’ll keep you updated when we have further news.

Adobe Lightroom Classic 

• This is the first time that Lightroom can be controlled from Tangent surfaces through an Adobe API. Default maps are included for Element, Wave2 and Ripple.

Open Sound Control

This is our first step to add comprehensive OSC support for our panels, allowing control of Unreal Engine, Disguise Media Server and any of the other many tools which support OSC. This release includes:

• OSC messages sent on button presses and releases
• OSC messages sent on Knob, Dial and 3-axis trackerball movements
• Panels receive OSC messages to update their displays with Status Values, Bar Graphs or Text.

Details of this are included in the Mapper Manual but we’ve also produced an OSC Quick Start Guide to help you map panels controls to start sending OSC messages.

Our friends at Color Intelligence have recently launched  ColourLab AI to further integrate the power of AI and cloud computing for digital workflows and colour grading. And we’re delighted they have now added support for our control surfaces to their plugin.

Users are able to fully customise mappings with Tangent Mapper and Color Intelligence have provided default maps for the primary grading sections of our products. There’s more details here.

The spirit of competition is truly in the air it would seem – we’re delighted to be a sponsor of ICG’s latest Colorist Awards. It’s great to support the ICG and their endeavours to build and reinforce the global professional colourist community.

We’re providing Ripple and Wave2 panels as prizes for the awards – you can view all the winners at the ceremony that took place on 29th March. In total there were more than 500 works submitted from 192 colourists from 59 countries!

Our Element panels feature in the latest article from Lowepost on why you need a colour control surface.

Shipments into the EU have had a bumpy start to the year, with long delays due to the new customs processes. However, we’re glad to say that the congestion finally seems to be easing and that we also have some alternative plans in place. All this means that shipping times on EU shipments should soon return to near normal – thanks for bearing with us folks!

We’re very pleased to announce that Red Giant have added support for our panels to Magic Bullet Looks.
