I’ve been using an Etherdream DAC for laser using VCV rack and the way I do it is using Touch Designer, i have an “audio in” set to black hole virtual audio driver which receives the audio from VCVrack, then i send that info to “Laser Device CHOP” operator in Touch Designer and voila, i have audio driven laser out of etherdream, but originating from VCV rack and all happening in realtime. But sometimes it glitches for a fraction of a second, or if i switch from VCV to TD it will glitch for a second…
So it would be fantastic to eliminate the need for using two softwares, a virtual audio driver, etc, and just have the Laser Device CHOP in VCV Rack as an output module
just bumping this… does anyone have a guess as to how complicated it might be to create an etherdream module for vcv rack? it would need 5 input channels
this is the CHOP from touch designer that I’d love to be created in VCV Rack:
Looks like you connect to the thing via ip address. Searching for info doesn’t turn up much useful information. Apparently there’s some file format that you would generate and copy to a socket on that connection. Seems fairly straightforward, depending on the complexity of the format/protocol.
One of those links says that they have sample drivers, but I couldn’t find them. Surprising that they don’t have something that just makes it appear to be an n-channel audio device. Then you really wouldn’t need a module at all.
