What it is

Patchd is a Windows desktop audio mixer for routing microphones, apps, system audio, games, and streaming inputs. Color-coded connections and per-app volume controls direct sources to hardware outputs and buses. Each channel has a reorderable DSP rack, and the free tier includes practical effects and VST3 plugin hosting. The built-in Persona voice changer processes inputs such as a microphone, virtual cable, or desktop audio on the user's machine. Patchd reports about 10.7 ms through its bus at a 512 buffer and supports ASIO and WASAPI Exclusive. Global hotkeys let Stream Deck and Touch Portal control Patchd through keystroke actions. The Free plan costs nothing, has no time limit for daily use, and includes 5 selectable inputs, 3 hardware outputs, 6 buses, 13 DSP nodes, 6 rotating Persona voices, and unlimited presets. Studio costs $5.99 a month; a Studio lifetime license costs 119.99 USD once. Patchy AI is in development, with its price not set. The maker says Patchd is Windows-only at launch, with Mac and Linux on the roadmap but no committed timeline.
