Stoermelder for Rack 2?

Plugins & Modules
35

Think of it like presets - but presets for groups of modules, not just one. Sequencers, quantisers, voices etc. So when you change presets, the sequence, scale, timbre of the voice etc can all change at the same time. You can then jam on a preset and either save it as a new preset if you like the results or return to the original preset to get back to how it sounded originally

You can then sequence those preset changes… it’s very powerful and versatile. You can build entire arrangements this way and then re-arrange by just editing the one simple sequence controlling the order the presets play in.

I just saw Omri’s new video with Bitwig and VCV VST and in his library, oh yes…Stoermelder!! That just made my day.

Seems @stoermelder is working hard behind the scenes to port everything properly.

This community is the best.

:slight_smile: I don’t want to spoil the excitement, but that is probably just an older beta version from the Github PR that is waiting for follow-up.

The older beta version seems to works “fine” in VCV Rack 2 release, i have it here, i can load all modules, no crash.

However, there is a very big reason we have not heard from Ben yet, as he clearly stated that he wanted to wait until VCV 2 was done. The Stoermelder plugin was based on a lot of tricks and “exploits” if i may call it that, to do super cool stuff that wasn’t available in VCV 1.

But a lot of those tricks, will need re-evaluation. As some newly introduced features of VCV 2 (as module copy, group etc).
Will not work with some of the modules of Stoermelder (yet).

To put it simple, we will have to wait and for Ben, until he responds.
And mostly important, i hope he is well!!

Exactly right. Some deep hacks were involved in earlier releases. And likewise, let’s hope Ben is doing well.

Cheers.

That’s so cool. I’ve always just done a “save as”. But this will definitely open a lot of possibilities.

Ben has made, what looks like for now, an initial commit wip v2 - api fixes and more · stoermelder/vcvrack-packone@05de804 · GitHub that has a fix for 8FaceMk2, which I don’t use so I never picked up on the need for that change.

If you combine his commit with the rest of my PR, you’ll have, for the time being, a more complete build.

Ben did check in some changes to his v2-dev branch, and now 8FACE WORKS!

Huzzah.

There’s a minor API problem that I fixed in my fork, and I’ve submitted a pull request.

@Steve_Russell you might look at what’s on his v2-dev branch now. I didn’t look closely at your forked repo, but I suspect he’s already merged your pull request.

Hi, Zoom functions in STROKE are not working, “not compatible”. When will this work in V2 ? Thank you, Kris.

I think that the zoom buttons have some sort of conflict with the V2 key handling.

50

So the cause is know, now let’s make an “unconflict” fix :slight_smile:

I still have the VCV 1.1.6 (and the 2). I think that if you still have the folder where the Stoermelder modules are you can download any previous version and have access to the modules and open your old patches without them warnings telling you what modules are no longer available. What I couldn´t do is to have the 0.5 version and the 1.1.6 at the same time, I wanted to recover the time when there were Southpole modules but as I installed 0.5 the 1.1.6 got replaced and that would be a disgrace but I was lucky because someone updated them modules. Now I was looking for Stoermelder for the Rack 2 but it seems they’re not ready yet.

52

Not ready in the library yet but there’s some nightly builds/pre-releases here, just don’t complain if some of them don’t work right:

53

I installed the pre-release, but I’m only seeing 8Face in my module list. Any one seeing the other modules?

I see many modules
