Newcomers - where to start with Rack?

[raferju]

Hi. I’ve just installed VCV in my computer. I own Softube Modular and Cherry Audio Voltage Modular and also use some hardware analog semimodular synths so I know the basis of modular synthesis. But VCV library is so vast and mind blowing that I don’t know where to start. I’ve installed VCV after watching Youtube videos of generative patches.

Welcome! This is a good place to start:

Getting started with VCV Rack

If you’re just getting started with Rack, this post is for you! It aims to be a quality list of links to articles, that will help you get Rack installed, make some sound, introduce you to the basic modules and get you through your first couple of patches, until you can start the exploration for yourself. I will aim to curate it on a semi-regular basis. The basic links: VCV Rack website: https://vcvrack.com/ Rack manual: VCV Manual VCV Library, to install lots of plugins: https://library.vcv…

I guess start with stuff you’re familiar with and move on from there. VCV can have a somewhat different way of working in which we use a larger number of more basic modules to make behaviours.
