PAW - ProPatch Application for the Web
The application to manage a ProPatch is a web application. The easiest way to access it is via Wolffhound. Wolffhound is an Electron application (Mac/Windows/Linux) that will find Wolff Audio devices connected to the computer, or on the network the computer is connected to. When a ProPatch is found, click on the icon to load PAW.
UPDATES If the computer running PAW is connected to the Internet, if a new version of PAW becomes available, a message will show up in the top bar and prompt to update.
OS COMPATIBILITY As a web application, PAW is not built on top of the underlying operating system. Upgrading MacOS/Windows/Linux will not effect PAW… it will continue to happily run.
FUTURE PROOF PAW is a sophisticated app to manage Devices/Nodes and create and manage Chains.. and Sessions. But, in the end… PAW simply makes a web call to the ProPatch with a list of relays to switch. That web call is just a URL that could be saved as a browser bookmark! We will publish the ProPatch API soon and it’s conceivable that a third party could dream up a brand new interface!
