From Manufacturer
Providing you with the ability to host VST or AU plug-ins in an RTAS or AAX environment, the PatchWork Virtual Patchbay for Audio Plug-Ins from Blue Cat Audio can host up to 64 VST or AU plug-ins in a single instance. For versatility, it can operate as either an audio plug-in or virtual instrument, allowing to load both instruments and effects. Up to 8 parallel chains can be activated independently, allowing you to create an effects chain without the need for multiple busses.
Each slot features latency compensation, presets management, undo/redo, and an independent bypass. Thanks to PatchWork's mapping capabilities, third party plug-ins can be automated.
