VCV is absolutely amazing. Thank you Andrew! Perhaps a more appropriate name could have been āCV Crackā because Iām totally hooked

Strip brings the functionality Iāve been hoping for. Fantastic that itās possible using a module. Thank you Ben. And thanks Antonio for all the insane modules. Massive appreciation!
Okay, down to business
In Strip, Nysthi cabling isnāt loading correctly; cables appear in different inputs and outputs than where they were saved. Often Strip+Nysthi is crashing VCV. Cables ācompetingā for connections seems to be the cause. Left in the screenshot is a module prior to saving a Strip. On the right is the loaded result.
I havenāt found any other modules that exhibit the same behaviour, but havenāt done much testing yet either.
Hello Ray,
have you been using the latest build of my plugin? There was indeed a bug that caused wrong cabling, but it should be fixed in the lastest build. Otherwise I have to check again.
Hey Ben,
Oops sorry forgot to mention. I was using 1.0.9cb5dc7. Just installed 1.0.5024fcc. No crashing and at first glance appears to load perfectly. Thanks. Rack felt quite incomplete without this capability.
I am wondering, is it a reliable method? (assuming itās development is supported of course) i.e. is it considered a hack and possibly prone to breaking in future Rack updates? Iād like to know the risk before I invest potentially days in making presets
Well, these parts of the API arenāt as stable as the dsp stuff, I guess.
But no, it is not a hack, I use functions exposed by the API. Will the plugin break in a future update of Rack (v2 and later) and need some modification? Most probably, yes. Will the preset files still be useable? Yes, as long Rack supports loading patches from previous versions. I use the same mechanism for loading and storing modules as Rack itself, it is exactly the same format. I use only my own convention for storing about the cabling, but this is quite trivial.
This been said, you should definitively wait until STRIP is released before investing much time. I can not guarantee that the file format wonāt change until it is released.
Hello, do you think STRIP will be soon in the plugin manager? because I am impatient to try it (and I donāt understand how to do it if it is not in plugin managerā¦) Have a nice week-end.
Hello matthleg, Iām writing the manual at the moment and do final testing. If no major problems arise I will submit my request for a new version in the Library tomorrow. So, it should be available in the next few days.
Manual installation is just downloading the correct zip-package for your system from my GitHub-repository and saving the file in your plugin-folder of Rack. On the next restart of Rack the plugin will be available.
@stoermelder
Love the new additions to STRIP Ben. The best module in VCV!
I was wondering if itās possible to step through presets using controls / CV inputs on the interface. Itād be so nice to load presets without the all the mousing. And preset sequencing a group of modules would be insane. I suspect itās unlikely though.
