Amazing. I hope some of the older modules are included in the VCV plans like Knit Rider and Popcorn.

VCV Rack 2 is coming along very nicely now. Do people think there are way more accurate eurorack module clones coming? Got the 4ms, Befaco, the Bastl, the Mutable Instruments, some Synthesis Technology, etc. very good!

Andrew announced Klavis is coming and showed more from Synthesis Technologies. I for one would enjoy more partnering with Doepfer, cross fingers.

Ooh. Yeah I was looking at the Klavis Quadigy on Modular Grid considering buying 1. Great one. Let’s hope that Synthesis Technologies and Klavis get released soon.

There was supposed to be a whole line of doepfer coming but I don’t know what happened to that.
Let’s hope the Doepfer modules are released and outdo Softube Modular’s Doepfer in audio quality. Note that a yellow Doepfer “Wasp” filter was released recently. But only that.

I cannot get a sound out of Pizza, even after restarting VCV. The Mixmaster channel shows dancing green lines, but no sound. Then I plug a different VCO into the same channel and I get sound. Why would I get dancing green but no sound? Very strange. I’m a noob, but not that much of a noob.
What do you mean with dancing green lines? Do you mean a slow (inaudible) lfo signal? The pizza can go into lfo range. You could try to change the octave setting.
If you connect a scope to the signal, you can see what is going on…

Yes, that was the problem. It opens up apparently in LFO mode, with the pitch knob at 50%. Turn up the pitch knob and I get sound. Thanks!
Then I get stuck again at the beginner’s second step. I send an external LFO into the FM mod input, and hear no modulation.
As an unsophisticated user, I wonder if this module could perhaps benefit from some factory presets to give users like me a quick start?
Nice you got it figured out! I don’t know the pizza very well, but it is a hardware clone, so there is a good manual available here:
There are probably also enough demo/tutorial video’s online as well. Also, when you have found a good starting point, dial it in and you can change the default state of a vcv plugin to any setting you like via the context menu. Have fun!

It opens up at 67 Hz which is admittedly at the lower end, but definitely audible (especially once you get the harmonics of FM going), maybe on laptop speakers it’s less obvious?
As for the FM mod, the attenuator (index mod) is by default at 0%, but that is quite a common choice (e.g. VCV VCO), hopefully not too confusing once you get up and running. One of the nice things about Pizza is that you don’t need an external FM source, and it’s built around offering nice ratios (FM index left) or octaves (fm index right).
Thanks @koen.kaptijn for the manual link, lots of really good stuff in there.

Pizza is a lot of fun! Such a range of sounds. Polyphony support would be awesome. @hemmer

I agree 100% about polyphony. Im loving this module so much I’m using it alot in DAW projects, and there is a bit of polyphony there. So I duplicate the module, but the settings are very sensitive, so it sounds different when I duplicate it, but it’s not really a problem to dial them in again. Anyway, just also want to thank @hemmer for bringing this over to VCV.

Adding on to this, I’ve noticed something strange and I’m not sure if its a bug.
If you duplicate Pizza or close Rack and open it again (standalone or plugin) this setting resets:
And you need to click through it again (in this case, to +2 oct) although it shows +2?
Has anyone else noticed this? Or am I missing something?

Thanks for bug report, confirmed and fix will be submitted to the library soon!
@auxmux @auretvh - as for polyphony, unfortunately as this is a (modifed) version of the firmware code, it’s very hard to produce performant polyphonic code, and to be honest the monophonic CPU is already higher than I’d like (so, say, x8 CPU usage would be dreadful). I’m hoping to reduce CPU a little, but I think for this sadly polyphony is unlikely without a heavy re-write from the ground up, which isn’t on the cards (for now at least).
