Blue Cat Audio has released an update for its multi-effects processor which can also host third party plugins.
Version 2.65 of Blue Cat’s PatchWork brings the ability to oversample processing for individual plugins (up to 16x). It is also possible to choose custom colors for all plugin slots, and the macro parameters introduced in v2.6 can now mix PatchWork’s own parameters with hosted plugins’ parameters.
It is possible to chain effects in series or create up to 8 parallel chains that can be activated independently. This lets you create your favorite effects or instruments configurations within the plug-in, without the need for multiple busses. These configurations can be saved as presets and recalled instantly, or shared with multiple DAWs, using any plug-in format. Use the built-in audio effects to add color to your own plug-in chains.

- Plug-ins oversampling: it is now possible to oversample processing for every plug-in (up to 16x).
- Custom Colors: Each individual plug-in instance can now be assigned a custom color.
