Blue Cat's PatchWork

[reasonperson]

Can Blue Cat's PatchWork use VST3 plugins on audio tracks in Reason 11 Suite? When I load Blue Cat's PatchWork on an audio file and hit the play button, nothing happens. For some reason, even on other MIDI VST instruments I can't get Blue Cat's PatchWork to work. Any help would be appreciated.

So when you load Patchworks into the FX slots of a Audio Track device it doesn't pass through Audio?

I'm not too familiar with how to use Blue Cat's PatchWork. All I want to do is load a VST3 plugin on a vocal track. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?

When I playback the audio, I hear nothing and nothing is happening in Blue Cat's PatchWork. Maybe I need to route something?

Are you sure your using the EFFECT version of Patchwork and not the INSTRUMENT version on that track?

I'll have to check. I didn't know there was an effect or instrument version.

Just tested. Both BlueCat Patchwork VST and Patchwork Instrument VST pass effects through them correctly. The only difference is when you drop the Instrument version in on the insert rack it doesn't auto route the cables like it does with the effect version. So if you are using that by accident, you can flip to the back and wire it, or just switch it out to the effect version.

Regardless though, both should work on an audio track.

The first thing I would do is check the routing of the cables at the back of the Patchworks device, make sure it looks like the image BELOW.

If it's not working while routed like that, make sure you don't have the Insert FX Bypass button engaged (the bypass button will be blue when engaged), also make sure that you don't have the Patchworks Plugin bypassed (turned off), the Patchworks button needs to be blue to be on as seen in the image below.
