Plug-ins Hosting
- Improved synchronization of hosted plug-ins to host transport when using plug-ins with latency.
- Built-in plug-ins can now follow host zoom.

- Plug-in format is now displayed in the title bar of the plug-in window.
- Recording status is now reported to Audio Units that support it.
- It is now possible to use different oversampling options for realtime and offline rendering (experimental).
- Added recording status support for Audio Unit format.
- Improved undo management with built-in and VST3 plug-ins, now detecting non-parameter changes.
- Hosted VST3 plug-ins can now use up to 16 channels per bus (instead of 8 before).
- Fixed two memory leaks in VST3 plug-ins host (causing potential crashes upon VST3 plug-in unload too).
- Fixed plug-in latency not always fully compensated when using plug-ins with latencies of more than 1024 samples.
- Fixed built-in multitap delay high DSP usage upon first load when syncing delay to host BPM.
- Fixed offline rendering mode not always reported to hosted plug-ins.
- Fixed some VST3 plug-ins taking several minutes to load (HALion and several other plug-ins with multiple audio busses).
- Fixed built-in harmonizer crashing when manually forcing more audio outputs than inputs.
- Fixed Audio Unit bypass control odd behavior with some plug-ins.
Audio Recording/Playback
- Application can now record PatchWork's output to wav files (up to 16 audio channels).
- Recorded audio files contain current transport position to help synchronizing recordings when imported into a DAW (BWF format).
- Fixed mp3 files loaded in audio player not always in sync with transport.
MIDI Control
- Individual plug-ins bypass can now be controlled via automation, MIDI or Macro parameters.
- Show/Hide plug-ins user interfaces can now be controlled via automation, MIDI or Macro parameters.
- All plug-in parameters can now be controlled with MIDI notes, pitch bend, NRPN, 14-bit CCs, aftertouch or channel pressure, in addition to existing MIDI CC.
- MIDI settings window can now be resized to display more parameters.
- Optimized MIDI settings window display on Windows (load time and scroll).
- MIDI Settings window now splits parameters into multiple pages for faster access.
- MIDI Settings window now shows custom display names if any.
- Optimized preset load upon MIDI messages when using several hundreds of user presets.
- Fixed plug-in sending Bank number 0 when loading a preset that is not located in a bank.
- Fixed audio dropouts when navigating presets via next/previous and plug-in set to send MIDI Program Change messages.
User Interface
- Chain presets: Save/Load and Copy/Paste full plug-in chains (PRE/POST or parallel). Fully compatible with Axiom, Late Replies, MB-7 Mixer or Fader Hub FX strips.
- Minor graphics optimizations for Hi resolution displays.
- Fixed window opacity changes not shown in plug-in when host application modifies it.
- Fixed selected text in text edit box sometimes not easy to read on Mac depending on the color scheme.
- Fixed text edit boxes sometimes loosing focus when hovering mouse over other controls.
- Improved skin loading time on slow hard drives.
- Optimized size of image resources for PatchWork and built-in plug-ins user interfaces.
- Misc graphics rendering optimizations.
- Fixed Mac installers not showing brand image in dark mode.
