Hey all

Having an issue With Patchwork in Logic. When I open patchwork,then open a plugin hosted in patchwork and have that plugin as the focused window in the DAW it seems to be overriding some system key commands for Logic. A prime example is Space Bar will no longer work for Play/Stop and the screen just flashes as if Im executing a incorrect key command. the second I click on and refocus to the main patchwork interface, or the DAW window the key commands go back to normal. This behavior is fixed if I run Logic in Rosetta mode, but were getting to a place where that is no longer an acceptable fix and there are features in the LP11 that wont work in rosetta mode so i need to be trying to get to native mode sooner than later.

I LOVE patchwork and its become CRUCIAL to my daily workflow SO I hope we can find a fix for this. Thanks everyone

Are you maybe using plug-ins that are not Apple-Silicon native? In this case Patchwork loads them thru the Apple bridge when not in Rosetta mode, which could indeed cause some odd behavior as the plug-ins are hosted in another process.

This behavior presents when using all plugins, even the bluecat internal plugins. So for example, load a blue cat “Pan” plugin and this issue presents.

Ok thanks. It is really odd that the behavior is different between Rosetta and native M1. Yet another MacOS oddity to investigate...!
