Blue Cats Patchwork is a digital plug-in patchbay that combines up to 64 VST, VST3, Audio Unit or built-in plug-ins in one instance in each DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). Patchwork allows the user to create effect chains in series or create up to 8 parallel chains that can be activated individually. You can create all favorite effects or instrument_configuration within the plugin without having to use multiple busses. Of course, the configurations can be saved as presets or shared with other DAWs. Each plug-in slot is equipped with latency compensation, preset management, undo/redo integration, audio I/O selection and individual plug-in bypass for optimal processing. All sub-plug-ins can also be automated and controlled via external controllers - perfect for anyone who wants to program their studio setup completely to work more effectively in the future. Finally, PatchWork can be used as an audio plug-in (effect or virtual instrument) and as a standalone app.
