Hi all,
I am Jack from the only 4 letter state in the United States - Utah.
I enjoy destructing/constructing sound in general. I discovered modular synths first but not having any money to make that entry, was happy to see vcv rack and jumped onto it.
I work in the electronics industry for a living, and am working on getting into woodworking and glassworking as an additional source of income to be able to finally enter the hardware world - and to get a cochlear implant for my left (deaf) ear.

First of all, thank you Andrew and all of the DEVS for your generosity in the VCV Rack project.
My name is Jay and I am from this planet. I have lived here for over 60 years. In this time I have been a draftsman, a maid in Yellowstone park, a worker in the Trans Alascan pipeline, a Cutco salesman, a waiter at the Bohemian Club, an audio engineer, a pool shark and even a paid musician. If your eyes could see what my eyes have seenā¦ oops, sorry, thatās another story.
Anyway, in between all the occupations, sound and music has always been a common thread in my in my life and VCV Rack connects all the dots. It pieces all the sights and sounds I have experienced and gives me a vehicle to try an recreate them sonically.
Lastly, Thank you again
Jay

Glad to see a real official forum up and running, finally had the chance to activate my account.
Music

, for me ever since i opened up a tiny transistor radio at the age of 7 to see where the little people were hiding that i was hearing playing inside of itā¦ 
Thanks for creating VCV Rack, excited to be part of all this.

hi my name is Dean, I am based in Wales, UK. I have been using rack for about a year in amongst my DAW and other instruments. I love using it to create new ideas for music and will continue to use it within my workflow.
I am on the usual streaming sites if you would like to check out my very short music journey so far.

Hi, Iām Fiorenzo, from Italy. Iām an archaeologist but also a musician (my former band released a bunch of albums and toured Italy quite extensively). Until last year I have been a guitarist, and my mentality, in some aspects, was āof the worst speciesā: no guitar, no party. But something was creeping inside meā¦ it always hadā¦ that unspoken, unadmitted thrill when a massive synth entered the scene in a Radiohead song, or the heavy basslines of Burialā¦ And then, in late 2017, my abrupt ācoming outā 
: I saw James Blake live, and I definitely fell in love with massive synth walls, and synths in general. Just a couple of monts after, in october 2017, I attended a class about sound synthesis. The teacher used Rack (I think v 0.3ā¦), and we all fell in love with the software.
Now Iām a happy patcher, my guitar runs through Rack or does not run at all! Iām writing and recording a lot of music: partly electronic, partly in the score field.

Hello all,
Iām Solomon, community college student in LA transferring as a liberal studies major this fall. I do experimental music (as I have no musical talent) and sound art. Besides using VCV, I do spoken word/chanting, play prepared guitar, use iPhone apps, and cut-ups to do my art. Looking forward to see how this community evolves.

Hi there,
Eugene Kuzmitsky / tuborgman from FB group.
Still beginner at this modular thing. After discovering the VCV Rack in March last year I was hypnotized. Never thought about Eurorack (never was even aware as much as now), and now (in ~10 months) I have Minibrute2s + Rackbrute 6U full of modules + 0-coast and some other stuff. Still beginner, still hypnotized, still learning Love this stuff! VCV Rack is the best software for entering the scene, IMHO!

Hi,
Iām John, the developer/perpetrator of the Amalgamated Harmonics module series. I live near Madrid, Spain.
I was inspired to get involved with VCV as a vaccine against a potentially financially crippling EuroRack habit and the AH module series emerged both as a way of understanding how VCV works and a massive itch-scratch.

Hi All,
I am Erik, from the Netherlands, today i found one of my inspirations again after having that melody in my head for 42 years (not constantly, thank heavens 
)
That, and the intro to āBaba OāRileyā on Whoās Next have been, apart from the other artists mentioned by you all before, my earlier introductions (Only recently found out who that Baba was ā¦ )
Special mention also for Ad Visserās āSuperClean DreamMachineā radio-show in The Netherlands that has introduced my generation to prog-rock and synth music ā¦
Fast forward a couple of years I watched Junkie XL show off his modular gear. and right after bumped into the introduction of VCV Rack on Synthopia (I believe) The rest is history; Thanks to @Vortico and the rest of the amazing developers.
I have recently added a cheap second hand PC to my gear, my old laptop wasnāt cutting it, so maybe I can start posting some (small) patches in the future ā¦
Currently living with and caretaking my elderly parents, Rack and even more importantly, this amazing community, is whatās keeping me sane ā¦ Thanks Guys and Gals!

The year was 1974 and PAiA just released the Gnome mini synth to their long list of modular synthesizer components. I wrote and asked for their catalog, but I was 13 and poor. I saved and bought parts and finally built a Gnome clone from a magazine article. I had fun running it through amplifiers salvaged from old car radios.
I grew up and made a living and a pivotal point I wanted to start a business. I wanted it to be electronics related, music or robotics. I decided when I discovered a guy made a hobby servo controller that could connect to a computer for receiving position information, and in 1995 I created Lynxmotion. We had a great time providing these robots to schools and hobbyists around the world. However in 2012 our health was failing we sold the business and begrudgingly entered an early retirement. In 2017 I renewed my interest in synthesizers. I started by designing PC boards from known good schematics and buying those parts I needed for my new try at a DIY synth. I knew it would take about three years to build my modular, but after a great start I had to abandon my efforts due to further health issues.
I now focus my energy on VCV Rack because I can not build real hardware anymore. Itās not all bad, I am really enjoying my virtual modular synthesizer of my dreams! I hope my music will be liked and I hope I can find a way to help make a meaningful contribution to this community. Thank you so much Andrew Belt.

LOVE Kraftwerk! I hope you enjoy the concert! My cousin introduced me to them when I was young, with the songs āPocket Calculatorā and " Numbers", and I was hooked! Nice to meet you!

Hey, were you one of the āoriginalsā on AcidPlanet back in those days? I was a member of AcidExchange, and then FAS (Fallen Angel Society). I was Lobo Diabloā¦ Jah Redās floating around here somewhere too. Great to meet one of the old Acid users! Cheers!

Dave Phillips here, the one who lives in NW Ohio, not the other ones. I am a composer/teacher/performer, Iāve been using VCV Rack since shortly after its initial announcement on KVR. See my YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4Kw67XwyKACygelcd-D2-g for a collection of pieces, studies, and exercises for Rack (and other systems such as Csound). Incidentally, before using VCV Rack I had never used any modular synth, virtual or real. Itās been and is still quite a remarkable journey.

Hi Michael, I am Cy Ball and I live in Denver. I have been retired for 9 years. Before retirement, I decided making music on my computer would be a good retirement hobby even though I only had a couple of years piano lessons as music training. I found VCV Rack last January and have been entranced ever since. This is great fun!
