Cuefinger 1 gives you the possibility to remote control Universal Audio's Console Application via Network (TCP).
In a recording studio this gives the studio musician the possibility to access the cue mix via a linux or windows tablet. Multiple connections from different devices at the same time are possible. E.g using an UA Apollo interface with 4 cue busses together with 4 tablet-pcs makes it possible for 4 musicians to each control their individual cue mix.
I use cuefinger in my studio since a few years now. Until now I couldn't find the time to publish it for others to use, but better late than never. Cuefinger runs in my studio on 3 low budget HP Stream 7 tablets with Linux Mint and I also use an old win10 tablet (32bit). They remotely control my cascaded Apollo Silver and Apollo 16 black. I also tested it with Apollo Solo. There is no Android-/iOS Version since I have no experience in writing for these platforms.
I hope you find this software useful, feel free to contact me or check out my music.

Thanks to
Antonio Radu Varga whose project UA-Midi-Control helped me to get started

Just chose the fitting *.exe and run it.
You need SDL2 developer package (https://github.com/libsdl-org/SDL/releases/tag/release-2.30.0).
You can use the Visual Studio 2022 project files, make sure that you copy the SDL2 include and bin into the project folder or change the include and lib paths in the gfx2d_sdl.h
The compiled file is target for Ubuntu 22.04 x64. You might have to install the SDL2 runtimes:
- Open Terminal
sudo apt-get install libsdl2-2.0
sudo apt-get install libsdl2-ttf-2.0-0
- Make sure it has permission to run as executable
chmod +x $file
You might need to install the SDL2 developer libraries:
- Open Terminal
sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev
sudo apt-get install libsdl2-ttf-dev
- navigate to the src folder and run make:
cd src
make
- you can now run cuefinger
../build/linux/cuefinger
Here are some screenshots of it's scalable GUI and the select channels feature:
