Raising Jake Studios Hot Sauce (Digital product)

Blue Cat's PatchWork Crossgrade from Melody Sauce 2

This exclusive crossgrade offer allows existing Melody Sauce 2 customers to purchase Blue Cat's PatchWork at a special discounted rate.

Blue Cat's PatchWork serves as a universal plug-ins patch bay, capable of hosting up to 64 VST, VST3, Audio Unit, or built-in plug-ins within a single instance in any Digital Audio Workstation (DAW). You can easily chain effects in series or create up to 8 independent parallel chains, enabling you to design your favorite effects or instrument configurations without the hassle of multiple busses.

Save your configurations as presets for instant recall or share them across various DAWs using any plug-in format. Enhance your plug-in chains with built-in audio effects that add color and depth to your sound.

Forget about complicated wiring; configuring plug-in routing is as straightforward as adding or removing rows and columns in the rack's matrix. All plug-ins can communicate seamlessly with each other and the host application through the virtual MIDI ports provided by the plug-in.

Each plug-in slot includes features such as latency compensation, presets management, undo/redo integration, audio I/O selection, and individual plug-in bypass for optimal performance. The layout of each plug-in window is preserved, ensuring a consistent experience across sessions and saved presets.

Additionally, sub-plug-ins can be automated or controlled using external control surfaces, thanks to Blue Cat's PatchWork parameter mapping capabilities.

This versatile product is available as an audio plug-in (either as an effect or virtual instrument) and as a standalone application, allowing you to use it independently or integrate it into any track in your preferred DAW, supporting up to 16 audio channels.

Monitor your signal with input and output level meters, which track the signal dispatched to inserted plug-ins, including side chain and auxiliary channels.

Typical Applications:

  • Plug-ins host
  • Custom channel strip
  • Parallel processing
  • Effects chainer
  • Virtual bussing
  • Virtual instrument
  • Share bus and plug-ins configurations between DAWs
  • VST or Audio Unit to AAX
  • Effect chains A/B comparison
  • Standalone audio processing application
  • Multi-effects processor

Key Features:

  • Configurable VST, VST3, or Audio Unit plug-ins rack: host up to 64 third-party plug-ins or instruments in series or parallel.
  • 30 built-in effects including Reverb, EQ, filters, pitch & frequency shifters, delays, modulation effects, compressors, gates, bit crushers, and wave shapers.
  • Available as an effect, virtual instrument, or standalone application.
  • Build custom effects chains with up to 8 "pre" and "post" plug-ins slots.
  • Effortless parallel processing with up to 8 parallel plug-ins chains, featuring phase flip, solo, and gain controls.
  • Support for multicore processing for parallel chains.
  • Host up to 8 virtual instruments in parallel and mix them within the plug-in.
  • Global Dry/Wet control ("Mix").
  • Macro controls & parameters mapping for automation or control surface use.
  • Flexible MIDI routing to connect sub-plug-ins or with the host application.
  • Flexible audio routing for connecting sub-plug-ins I/O to any audio channel.
  • Support for external side chains and multiple outputs.
  • Link pre and post gains for automatic gain compensation.
  • Drag and drop or cut, copy, and paste plug-ins with their settings between slots.
  • Recall complex processing setups and plug-in layouts with a single click and share them across your DAWs.
  • Input and output levels monitoring along with a built-in CPU meter.
  • Plug-ins latency compensation.
  • Network audio/MIDI processing server for the Connector plug-in.
  • Support for VST Shell plug-ins.
  • Integrated undo/redo functionality.
  • Customizable user interface with transparency and zoom options.
  • Smooth Bypass for noiseless plug-in activation/deactivation.
  • Full-featured integrated presets manager.
  • Copy/paste the state of the plug-in between instances.
  • Supports any sample rate.

Experience the power and flexibility of Blue Cat's PatchWork and elevate your audio production to new heights.

Waveform Saturator and Exciter

Hot Sauce is a non-linear gain processing plug-in from Raising Jake Studios that adds harmonics to a signal while reducing peaks, similar to tape saturation or push-pull power amplifiers. A second mode of operation, Exciter, adds harmonic detail without compressing the source signal. Hot Sauce is internally oversampled at all input sample rates from 44.1 kHz to 192 kHz for minimal aliasing side effects.

Two Modes of Operation

In Saturator mode, Hot Sauce provides smooth waveform compression that adds odd harmonic distortion while compressing the waveform. In Exciter mode, it adds odd harmonic distortion without compressing the waveform, producing a brighter, more excited sound. It can thicken a source, raise average levels without the typical pumping side effects of compressors and limiters, or increase brightness.

Where to Use It

Use Hot Sauce before compressors or limiters to help control transients so that less compression is needed, after compressors and limiters to add consistent harmonic content, on any source as a saturation or distortion effect similar to tape compression, or as an exciter that adds harmonic content without compressing the signal.
