Blue Cat Audio PatchWork Updated to v2.67 – New Built-in Audio File Player Plug-in

BlueCat Audio has updated Patchwork, their multi-effects processor and plug-in host with a new built-in audio file player plug-in, customization options, and more.  The update is free for existing customers.

What’s new in Patchwork v2.67?

This new version adds a new audio file player plug-in, new styles for macro controls, MIDI support for transport control and a couple of important performance improvements and fixes (especially on Mac).

• 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).
• Offline rendering support: hosted plug-ins are now notified when the host application is rendering offline (non-realtime).
• Improved audio performance when the application is used as a network server for Connector or Fader Hub.
• Fixed audio recording issues under very low latencies and high CPU usage.
• Fixed multicore performance issues for Apple Silicon systems (random audio dropouts).
• Improved multicore performance on Intel Macs and Windows PCs.
• Fixed Graphical User Interface performance issues on Mac OS Sonoma (caused by an Apple bug).
• Fixed a crash with Audio Units reporting corrupted latency (invalid value) upon load.
