xy_politics Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I didn't take much notice of VCV Rack as it was standalone only, and I have R6 already Some clever chap, however, has now built this to run under VST https://github.com/bsp2/VeeSeeVSTRack It comes with most (all? >650) of the $0 modules pre-packaged. Download the pre-built 7z and simply copy to your plugins folder It seems to work very well. Certainly an essential considering it's all free 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheatheman Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 now that vcv 1.0 is on my comp, midi bridge doesn't work. i boot v .6 and midi bridge suddenly works again. i'm using ableton 10. anyone figure it out? i only want to use midi from ableton because the midi capabilities are so much greater in ableton anyone?

sweepstakes Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Peeps like @ambergonk who are bored of their DAWs should definitely give this a spin. I mean, shit, it's free, fun, and pretty easy to get weird with, what's not to like? It hits that sweet spot of abstraction, more Nord than Max/PD/Reaktor. Personally, though, I've recently discovered I'm more of a TidalCycles/SuperCollider type of guy. They're not mutually exclusive, but when the bug bit, I knew that that's where my efforts are gonna go for the foreseeable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not gonna lie, I get bored too quickly with FL to make any real progress with it anymore. Maybe we can play around with it later this week.

dingformung Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 Is it less CPU intensive than Reaktor Blocks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheatheman Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I get some very unique sounds. Definitely feels like I’m messing with a modular. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember testing on my 9yo macbook pro a while back. Running some sample Reaktor Blocks things I think I got an error even loading some of it. VCV ran fine, but then I did not make anything insane either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheatheman Posted July 6, 2019 Share Posted July 6, 2019 I need a better sequencer module, what else is there besides seq 3? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thawkins Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 I have thought about making my own stuff (or modifying the existing ones) as the basic modules are all open source. But on the other hand it is C++ and going down the rabbit hole will absolutely steal a lot of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Using straight up C++ with no libraries would definitely require a lot of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They even provide a getting started tutorial for this https://vcvrack.com/manual/PluginDevelopmentTutorial.html A while back I did check the source for the basic sequencer plugin and it seemed fairly readable and straightforward to mess with the code to add more steps, etc. As the tutorial says, I think it is a great way to learn some C++ and mess around. I just never got around to it... I admit that for C++ you can have some fairly high learning curve things going on if you make a slight mistake somewhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a Reaktor-esque module builder in the works which looks promising, and has a lite-version, early access beta available now - "Geco", made by Hora, a VCV developer Comes with a library of DSP and logic objects, with custom code imports possible too. https://gumroad.com/horamusic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny O Flannagin Posted September 16, 2019 Share Posted September 16, 2019 Been messing with this the last couple weeks. Always wanted to build a eurorack but lacked the disposable funds to do so. It's great being able to scratch that itch and explore modular synthesis free. Love being able to copy and paste modules (almost feels like cheating). Might buy some premium modules down the line to support the dev but the amount of free ones makes the paid ones non-essential Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
