Coffeeshopped has officially released Patch Base 4 for Mac, an update to its collection of editors and librarians covering 85 hardware synthesizers. According to synthtopia, the manufacturer describes the new version as more polished and stable while introducing several functional enhancements for music retailers and studio operators.
The update brings native MIDI controller support, allowing users to map physical knobs and faders directly to on-screen controls within the software. Synthtopia reports that the application now includes light and dark mode settings, offering options to track system preferences or maintain a permanent display theme. A significant addition for performance workflows is external keyboard support, which routes MIDI notes from connected instruments to the active patch editor window.
Pricing for Patch Base 4 starts at $49.99 for a single editor, with additional device editors available for $24.99 each, per details from synthtopia. An all-access subscription model is also offered. This release provides Mac-based dealers and end-users with expanded tools for managing extensive synthesizer inventories and integrating external control surfaces into their existing setups.
