Please welcome Blue Cat’s PatchWork 2.78, yet another free update for our virtual patchbay for plug-ins!
This new release brings several useful improvements and new features. Check out the short video below for an overview of what’s new (full changelog available below):
New in PatchWork 2.78
- New Plug-ins Scanner: scan third party plug-ins and load them directly from the plug-in menu.
- New Plug-ins Browser: browse and search plug-ins once scanned, with optional full text search inside saved plug-ins.
- Added support for Audio Unit V3 (AUV3) plug-ins on MacOS.
- Enhanced presets browser:
- Displays results in real time while typing.
- Supports full-text search within presets (find presets containing a specific plug-in or keywords).
- Performs searches without blocking the user interface.
- Both the plug-in and preset browsers now match files containing all search terms (AND logic) instead of just one (OR logic).
- Plug-ins user interface is now open automatically when dragged and dropped from the file system.
- Audio player’s play/pause is now NOT synchronized to host by default (this can be overridden via a user default preset).
- VST3 plug-in editors are now loaded only when their user interface is displayed.
- Fixed Polytune plug-in crashing when saved in the user default preset
Other Plug-Ins Hosts
What about the other plug-ins host? Well, there’s good news for them too: new previews for all of our plug-ins hosts (Axiom, Fader Hub, Late Replies, MB-7 Mixer) are now available, including these new features and much more.
Enjoy!

16 Chanal Output for FX version, not only for the instrument plug in supported?
Audio Channels count changes are indeed in the todo list but may have a large impact on existing sessions, so it will probably have to wait for v2.8
