Rack development blog

[Vortico (VCV - Andrew)]

Various minor features for Rack 2.0:

• Red clip lights on VCV Audio when signal goes beyond ±10V.

• Add module bypass routing API, which replaces module disabling, so developers can specify direct routes from inputs to outputs when users “bypass” the module.

• Add infinity and NaN protection to cables, so they won’t propagate non-finite values from badly behaving modules. (Performance not fully tested, could be removed.)

• Duplicating modules also duplicates their input cables.

• Add the following menus:

void appendAudioMenu(ui::Menu* menu, audio::Port* port);
void appendMidiMenu(ui::Menu* menu, midi::Port* port);

so plugin developers can develop custom audio/MIDI interfaces without adding an AudioWidget/MidiWidget to their panel like VCV Audio-8, MIDI-CV, etc.

• Full support for numpad keys, such as Enter to open the Module Browser and Ctrl-0/Minus/Plus for zooming the rack.

• Evaluate mathematical expressions in parameter context menu fields.

• And most importantly , use MenuSeparator instead of MenuEntry for separating menu items.
