I've been testing your MB-7 mastering eq in linux, and it's quite a treasure.
It has the ego satisfying looks of a sci-fi masterpiece, but in use, is simple
to achieve great results, and complex enough for those willing to
study the craft. It can run 'standalone' in linux, using the fst command,
to keep cpu use to minimums. Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
It's the weekend!

I installed the update but can't find the standalone. Doesn't seem to have installed. Anyone else have this problem?

Have you downloaded and installed the "App" version?

[heffus]

My bad.

Hi,

Just wanted to give you the heads up about Blue Cat's PatchWork 1.7, that brings super flexible audio routing for the standalone application, which now supports up to 16 I/O channels, and external sidechain or auxiliary outputs configurations.

This new release also adds new internal audio routing features: you can now select the I/O channels used for each plug-in - it is very easy to create aux sends, process individual channels separately or apply effects the sidechain signal, without having to manage cable connections.



Please check the PatchWork page for more details, or our blog post about these new features.

This update is of course free for existing customers and can be downloaded from the same page as the original full version.

Enjoy!

I just started checking the demo version of Patchwork v1.7.

With the 64-bit AAX plugin (on Windows 7 64-bit) i was able to load and play the 64-bit VST2 plugin of Tone2 Saurus in Pro Tools 11.3.1. Also playing back recorded MIDI seemed to wor with Saurus.

This seems to be the first plugin chainer i tested that loads the Saurus VST2 (and other Tone2 plugins) properly in Pro Tools 11.
