Blue Cat Audio has released a free update for Blue Cat’s PatchWork, the virtual patchbay for plugins with built-in effects.
This new version includes 4 new built-in audio effects (reverb, harmonizer, wah, mute), many new presets and major performance improvements. It also includes a few bug fixes. This is a recommended free update for everyone (full change list below).
The update for V2 users can be downloaded for free from the same location as the original full version (link received by eail upon purchase). For users still on version 1, an upgrade link is available from the same page. For others, a demo version is available on bluecataudio.com as a standalone application and in most plug-in formats for Mac and PC.
Changes in Patchwork v2.2

- Faster GUI loading / instantaneous GUI display after it has been opened once.
