A universal patchbay and multi-effects host that runs up to 64 plug-ins in series or parallel within a single instance in your DAW.

Whether third-party plug-ins or built-in effects, you can chain them in series or create up to eight parallel chains that can be activated independently, with no need for extra buses. Routing is configured simply by adding or removing rows and columns in the rack matrix, virtual MIDI ports connect the plug-ins with each other and with the host, and every slot offers latency compensation, presets, undo/redo and individual bypass. PatchWork runs as an effect or instrument plug-in and as a standalone application with up to 16 audio channels, and your configurations can be saved as presets and recalled instantly.
