Blue Cat Audio - Blue Cat PatchWork Retail V2.42 - Mac screenshot
AudioZ Exclusive | Vst Vst3 AAX | 401 MB
Blue Cat's PatchWork is a universal plug-ins patchbay that can host up to 64 VST, VST3, Audio Unit or built-in plug-ins into any Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) in one instance.

It is possible to chain effects in series or create up to 8 parallel chains that can be activated independently. This lets you create your favorite effects or instruments configurations within the plug-in, without the need for multiple busses. These configurations can be saved as presets and recalled instantly, or shared with multiple DAWs, using any plug-in format (full list below). Use the built-in audio effects to add color to your own plug-in chains.

Despite the name, you can forget about wires or cables: configuring plug-ins routing is as simple as adding or removing a row or a column in the rack's matrix. All plug-ins can also communicate with each other or with the host application using the virtual MIDI ports offered by the plug-in.

For each plug-in slot, latency compensation, presets management, undo/redo integration, audio i/o selection and individual plug-in bypass are included for optimal operation. The plug-in also stores the position of the window for each plug-in so that the layout is restored with your session or saved with presets.

Also, sub plug-ins can be automated or controlled with external control surfaces using Blue Cat's PatchWork parameters mapping capabilities.

This product is available as an audio plug-in (effect or a virtual instrument) and standalone application, so that it can used alone or inserted on any type of track in your favorite DAW, with up to 16 audio channels.

Input and output level meters are also available to monitor the signal that is dispatched to inserted plug-ins, including side chain and aux channels.

Main Features:
Configurable VST, VST3 or Audio Unit plug-ins rack: host up to 64 third party plug-ins or instruments in series or parallel.
29 built-in effects: Reverb, EQ, filters, pitch & frequency shifter, delays, modulation effects, compressor, gate, bit crusher, wave shaper and more.
Available as an effect, virtual instrument or standalone application.
Build your own effects chains: up to 8 "pre" and "post" plug-ins slots to chain plug-ins in series.
Parallel processing made easy: up to 8 parallel plug-ins chains, with phase flip, solo and gain controls.
Host up to 8 virtual instruments in parallel and mix them within the plug-in.
Global Dry/Wet control ("Mix").
Parameters Mapping: map sub plug-ins parameters to automate them or use a control surface.

Thanks ! This is the only way I now of having the "learn midi" capacity under Logic Pro X (AU components don't support MIDI learn, so with bluecat I load the VST3), for plugins that do not expose any automation params to the DAW (Syntronik for example !).

Does anyone know if this will load 32bit plugs in Catalina?

Patchwork never supported 32-bit-to-64-bit conversion. As for the software you're thinking of, 32Lives, here's the word straight from Sound Radix:

This seems nice but is there a reason to download this if you have Live (racks) or FL Studio (patcher)?

For one thing : it handles program changes ! It's heavier on CPU though. Why can't Ableton manage racks with program changes ?

you have to have push for that. but it should have supported 'program change messages change a rack preset' ages ago - i mean, it's a live performance software after all.

Program changes don't work in racks but they do work for individual VSTs in Live.

And why need pgm. change messages when you have rack chains? I'm thinking that that would also be heavy on CPU though.

I’v been getting a lot of pops and crackles when I use this in standalone and I can’t figure out why. It’s almost unusable at this point which is unfortunate since I use it quite a bit to play around with sound design without starting up my DAW.
