4.0/5

Blue Cat's PatchWork is a macOS application that can host multiple AU and VST plug-ins in the same Digital Audio Workstations. The patch bay can deal with up to 64 different plug-ins concomitantly by allowing you to create up to 8 parallel chains.

Blue Cat's PatchWork comes with a user-friendly user interface that includes self-explanatory buttons for most capabilities and enables you to create as many plug-ins rows and columns as you need. You can quickly switch between 3 different slot sizes and modify the window opacity.

The application automatically detects the location of your VST and Audio Unit plug-ins library, and you get to specify through the Finder menu which effects you want to include into your patch bay.

By adjusting different knobs you can modify the gain effect for each processing stage, and you may also link pre and post processing knobs together. The application comes with multiple factory presets, two different interface skins, and a detailed user manual that can help you learn how to take advantage of everything it has to offer.

Blue Cat's PatchWork offers you the possibility to save the current settings to a preset: you get to use them again at a later time, without taking the time to go through the setup process. Moreover, the presets can be shared with more than one DAW.

Noteworthy is that you can route plug-ins using MIDI ports to communicate without having to deal with wires and cables. The app remembers the position of each plug-in in the layout, and you get to switch quickly between multiple presents to generate different audio effects.

What's new in Blue Cat's PatchWork 2.67:

  • Seamlessly play over backing tracks with the new built-in audio player, supporting wav, mp3, and flac formats.
  • Drag and drop audio files directly into plug-in slots to open the audio player.
  • Choose from additional 15 styles to customize macro knobs.
  • Playback and rewind in the application can now be triggered by MIDI (allowing easy synchronization of plug-ins playback).
