name the free version of VCV Rack v2

I haven’t seen this suggestion in this thread yet, but I expect it’ll come up soon: VCV Rack VST

Firstly, Steinberg owns the VST trademark which is enough to reject the suggestion, but it would also require all these unnecessary names:

  • VCV Rack standalone (with professional support)
  • VCV Rack VST2
  • VCV Rack VST3
  • VCV Rack AU
  • etc, as new formats are released

It would also raise the question “If I buy Rack VST, do I get Rack AU for free?” Yes, because Rack standalone/VST/AU/whatever is actually a single product that comes in a single installer.
