Studio cable routing, visualized.
Every piece of gear. Every cable. Every reason why — captured once, usable by everyone in the band.

Real gear. Real jacks. Real signal paths. Drag a cable and the room's knowledge updates for the whole band — no more "ask the one person who knows."
Every studio has that one person — the one who knows which channel the Juno lives on, why the compressor sidechains from the aux, what that one red cable does. When they're not in the room, the room stops working. PatchBay fixes that.
Every device, jack, and cable on one canvas — the studio's tribal knowledge, made shareable.
Ask the rig where a signal goes and it shows you. When something can't work, it tells you why.
A native desktop app built around the room you already have. No cloud lock-in.
PatchBay starts as an empty room. Drop in your desk, your rack, your amps and pedals — then wire them exactly like real life. The room becomes a living document of how your studio actually works.
Zoom from a single jack all the way out to the whole floor plan. The map is always right, because the map is the rig.
▶ See a room built from scratchFeed PatchBay any track and it pulls the mix apart — drums, bass, vocals, synths — and writes down what it hears. Solo a stem, mute another, and start reasoning about how the record was actually built.
GearForge reads a PDF manual and builds the device — jacks, controls, faceplate — permanently, with zero code. Drop a manual in, get a real, patchable panel out.

Over a thousand modules, right in the app. Describe a patch in plain English and it's built, wired, and playable in seconds — no DAW required. Chase a Boards of Canada tone and hear it back before the kettle boils.
