Flock Audio has announced the release of PATCH APP DX 1.1.0, a new upgrade to the hardware management companion app for the company’s PATCH series of digitally controlled analog patchbays, and it will be highlighted at the 2024 NAMM Show at the Anaheim Convention Center at booth 16122.
PATCH APP DX 1.1.0 includes an array of new organization and customization features as well as streamlined navigation and GUI improvements that are designed to make it easier to use. The update is free to download for existing PATCH APP DX users and will be available on February 6, 2024.
Building off of the interface of PATCH APP, DX expands the feature set to include mobile device compatibility, hardware management mode for saving notes and photos of hardware settings, network integration, and with DX Bridge, DAW integration.
Key new features include Folders, which enables streamlined organization of all analog hardware and cataloging; TAGS, which allow for quick searches of preferred hardware categories or uses; Find Me, for faster access to occupied digital rack space; and Hardware Management Notifications, which provide visual feedback for routings that have additional photos, notes, or data in the Hardware Management section. PATCH APP DX also now offers enhanced color coding options across several of these features for more clear, intuitive organization. Adjustments have also been made to the app’s GUI and navigation to make it simpler and quicker to use.
“This is just scratching the surface of what we’ve added in Patch APP DX 1.1.0,” says Flock Audio founder and CEO Darren Nakonechny. “There’s so much more to explore, and we can’t wait to see what you’ll create!”
