Problem on loading an (old) v1 patch

Hi,

I’m trying to load this patch on VCV Rack 1: Breakcore Machine | Patchstorage

I’ve all Ohmer modules:

But when the patch loads, it says:

Why? Whats wrong? Tried to remove all/add all modules, delete folder in the Rack plugins-v1, re-download and restart Rack… but still the same.

I’m on Windows.

Any clues?

This patch is made with VCV 0.6.0 And Ohmer renamed the plugin from RDKBRK to just BRK.

You could use a text editor, open the patch and change The plugins name or load this one :

patch-112.vcv (22.8 KB)

And let me know if this works.

Hi,

I’m the author of Ohmer Modules.

As Peter have perfectly replied, above, since the internal name (SLUG) of the module have been changed from RKDBRK to BRK. Sorry for this!

Thanks, seems to works. But it seems loads those modules which does nothing (no cable):

In fact, if I watch the screen on patchstorage, its different:

What am I missing? Tried the 0.6.0 version, but when I do “Update plugins” it does nothing :open_mouth:

Ah sorry the new RKD has a new flippable gui where you can set the BRK values,

I corrected this in this file :

patch-112 b.vcv (26.3 KB)

Ohmer & OhmerPrems plugins below version 2 are no more supported/provided since years!

Also, not sure the Update plugin feature (from VCV Library) is working for v0.6/v1.x plugins/modules.

Version 2 plugins are not compatible vs. older v1.x/v0.x VCV Rack versions!

:warning: You’ll must consider to update all to v2.6.6 (lastest VCV Rack version today). Surely you’ll can keep your antique VCV in parallel, then migrate your useful patches to most recent platform. VCV Rack 2 is largely more stable and reliable than previous versions! (same about most modules, including mine).

Please consider by using v0.6/v1.x Ohmer/OhmerPrems plugins, I don’t provide support, so use them at your own risk. Sorry.

Hi Peter, I confirm Ohmer plugin (free, Open source) was updated recently (March, 10th), as v2.6.12… Also important change in previous v2.6.11 (indicated in changelog, about potential crashes).

RKD and BRK modules (v2.6.12+) now follow Use dark panels if available, as VCV Rack 2’s global setting (from View menu).

I don’t understand why some guys continue to use VCV Rack 1.x (or VCV Rack 0.x).

Ohmer plugin CHANGELOG is here!

It has to do with backward compatibility, I have some beautiful patches made in v1 that use plugins that are no longer available like:

To name a few.

In order for me to update these patches (or listen to them) for v2 I must be able to open them in an older version of rack and replace the modules with ones that are v2 compatible

The original patch above made in 0.6.0 can be opened in V2 easily except for the Ohmer RKDBRK module

, so q8fuel thought he had to use an older version/with older plugins of rack to overcome that problem.

This is why I keep old rack versions around :grinning:

Now this can be opened in V2 (the new pattch-112 b.vcv version)

Ah yes, I remember I’ve bought all KlirrFactory modules for VCV Rack 1.x, but no news about the developper, and never ported to v2. I understand it’s sometimes difficult to find equivalents.

Same concerning Hora (I’ve bought all, too), existing for Rack v2, but not updated since long time, and no more news, because some modules are buggy like Detour (sending voltage above +5.8 on V/OCT input jack crashes the module & VCV Rack 2). I’ve sent a email couple of weeks ago, but no reply, the Belgian developer (Raphael, if I remember) is M.I.A.
