Okay, added factory presets for VCV MIDI-CC and CV-CC to Rack v2.

Thank you Andrew. That will certainly be useful for consistent hardware use.
Modules idea: if anyone wants to do It I would be happy to make a proper gui for this one, it needs a lot of works. Grayscale library is just used as a proof of concept, it would have its own components.
This is a concept, too large to fit a module at this point but I think it’s doable
3D sequencer:
I a few words: 3 CV channels using multiplication of the values of 3 sequences of 4 steps. Two directional clocks for each sequence, Lots of end-of-sequence trig output to feed the clocks
In Depth:
3 independent sequences of 4 stages
- A horizontal sequence called X
- A vertical sequence called Y
- A tilted sequence called Z
- Each stage as a CV value (knob)
- Each stage has a push-led button to skip the step and show the play head position
The led grid play heads:
- The blue grid sequence:
- 16 points of the blue grid corresponds to the value of the corresponding X knobs multiplied by the values of the corresponding Y knobs.
- The playhead of the blue grid is defined by the position of the X playhead and the Y pleayhead, show up white.
- The yellow grid sequence: Same with X and Z
- The red grid sequence: Same with Z and Y
The output section (top left):
- the blue CV output = X*Y
- the yellow CV output = X*Z
- the red CV output = Y*Z
- 2 rotating trigger inputs to switch the sequences output (the color of the leds follows. The original state is reset with the general reset input
The center clock cluster:
- The very center jack input resets all 3 sequences and the rotation output
- There is 2 Clock inputs for the each of the 3 sequences: a forward and a backward clock input
The black outlined jack everywhere:
They emit a trigger at each end of the sequence, each time they are hit by the play head, they are end of sequence trig out, made to be fed back in the numerous clock inputs
The clock maker section (down right)
Bunch of gate combiners, 2/1 switches and ½ switches, made to be fed by the E.O.Seq outputs and to make complex gate sequence to feed the clock inputs
Anyone interested to work on this one? I would be happy to make the GUI. If you have an existing collection we can use adapt teh design to your graphic elements or we can make some new one, as you prefer. It would be a free module.

This version probably makes more sense: 3 surfaces, each time the play head hits an edge and reaper on the otherside, a trigger is emmited though the hit point and can be send to a clock

Polyphonic Channel Re-order
A module that takes a poly input, sorts the values from high to low and routes the signals to the poly channels accordingly. So the polyphonic channel that has the highest note routes to channel 1, next to channel 2, etc.
Would be great for using poly sequencers and process the higher notes differently to the lower notes etc.
Would only need a single poly input and single poly output.

Aria Salvatrice’s merge/split modules do sorting from low to high: https://github.com/AriaSalvatrice/AriaVCVModules/blob/master/README.md#split-and-merge-splort-smerge-spleet-swerge-and-splirge
Ah, amazing! That’s exactly what I was looking for.

Do they re-sort as new notes come in? Always thought that would sound terrible (having a playing note switch to a different channel. That’s why never implemented it in Seq++.
Yes, it can even operate at audio rates, try sorting oscillators, it’s fun (as in, it sounds horrible with lots of DC offset most of the time).
But you can use the link feature of the larger modules with a polyphonic sample and hold to sort only when you want.
Eventually I plan to complete this series of module with an utility that specifically does that, and a few other features such as rotating and randomizing channels.

A Bode Frequency Shifter. I am surprised that I couldn’t find one in VCV Rack when I went to look for one. I first encountered a software version in the Nord G2. Sean Costello has a nice write up here about his development of a Frequency Shifter in Reaktor and CSound https://valhalladsp.com/2009/05/18/frequency-shifting-10-years-later/
There are two. Ours is called “Booty Shifter” has as UI based on the Bode, and has been around for maybe 1.5 years. Now there is a really nice one from Surge, also.
We were kind of surprised also that for so long we were the only one.
Here’s the manual for ours: https://github.com/squinkylabs/SquinkyVCV/blob/master/docs/shifter.md
Thanks, I’ll try them both out tomorrow! I scrolled right past Booty Shifter, thinking it was for transposing CV… Should I delete my post?
There’s nothing wrong with your post. And it’s free advertising for me 
I made my first freq shifter in 1997, and booty shifter was my first VCV module.

RackSuiteCase
inspired by STRIP and GLUE @stoermelder I was thinking about something like a case for a bunch of modules. It should basically be a frame, with the possibility to lock all incorporating modules and simple stuff like that. If I drag the case by its frame everything inside (labels, cables ecc…) should follow. I don’t know if it is possible of course

I would love to have the possibility to have ghost notes in drum modules, like having normal+accents+ghost. and it could go even crazier with accents for the ghost. i know there is Entrian drums that is possible to do this.But would be awsome to have this like an expansion for some drum module. let me know what you think.

Video module
I have a banal and rather simple idea. It’s not from the field of sound processing, but anyway. We need a module that can display a webcam or other video source, including a file. This is not a very popular request, but such a module can come in handy for recording a screen, broadcasting or live performance. The panel can be resizable, I saw examples of such panels before. And I saw a module with a webcam, but it was in version 0.6.
Although given the complexity of video processing, the severity of this process, fuss with codecs etc, maybe this is not the best thing in the world, yes.

That was my module utilizing webcam and OpenCV, maybe I should finish it at last. DSW Vision 2 'Flow alpha' (currently macOS only)
