The redesigned user interface is based around an entire visual refresh. Stereo channel activation controls have been relocated to the right side of the interface, with new individual control capabilities for each side of stereo nodes. A new Global Mute function provides output protection, while expanded filtering options allow users to sort chains and nodes by active state.
The new update also introduces MIDI automation capabilities, including a MIDI learn mode, MIDI port selection, and a centralized MIDI Assignment Dialog. Users can now automate chains, nodes, AB groups, session selection and global mute functions. The system supports shared MIDI assignments, allowing identical values to control multiple objects simultaneously.

With the update, the “snapshots” feature has been renamed Sessions to align with standard DAW terminology; the feature expanded menu functionality, including the ability to lock sessions. New file extension support (.propatchs for sessions, .propatch for backups) simplifies configuration file management and system backup procedures.
The ProPatch Version 1.1 software update is free to existing ProPatch owners and will be automatically deployed to the Production Channel on July 10th, 2025.
