Developer Ícaro Ferre has updated CV Toolkit – an application that lets you use your Mac or PC to control your modular synthesizer – to version 2.5.

“My goal for this new update was to make it as awesome as it could be,” notes Ferre, “in terms of functionality (total recall via Layouts), usability (OSC control, custom titles), design (new themes), and accessibility (2 themes specially designed for people with color-blindness).”

Here’s what’s new in CV Toolkit 2.5:

• Themes – CV Toolkit now includes 7 new themes: Tech, Forest, Red Velvet, GrayScale, NightLife (specially designed for people with deuteranopia), Anachrome (specially designed for people with Tritanopia), and High Contrast.
