Can someone explain the Pros & Cons of using a plugin chainer i.e Bluecat Patchwork
Since Cubase can run tons of plugins, I never got my head around why a chainer is necessary, unless it provides other uses that I am unaware of?
Could it be perhaps that using 10 plugins inside a chainer would somehow use less CPU than running them individually in the track mixer?
Sorry for my ignorance here but If you don’t ask…you don’t learn.
And another great feature in Patchwork if i may, which i use:
You can chain VST Plugins which output MIDI notes, thus creating very creative “MIDI Chains” (think of Arps, Chord generators etc).
Ofcourse in Cubase you have such MIDI tools also but you can’t chain them.
