As some of you know I’ve been developing some utility modules for Rack v1. The plugin “PackOne” is available in the Library (VCV Library) and you can find manuals on my GitHub repo (GitHub - stoermelder/vcvrack-packone: Modules for VCV Rack). The plugin contains currently these modules:
- 4ROUNDS: randomizer for up to 16 input signals to create 15 output signals
- 8FACE, 8FACEx2: preset sequencer for eight or sixteen presets of any module as an universal expander
- ARENA: 2-dimensional XY-Mixer for 8 sources with various modulation targets and fun graphical interface
- BOLT: polyphonic CV-modulateable boolean functions
- CV-MAP: control 32 knobs/sliders/switches of any module by CV even when the module has no CV input
- CV-PAM: generate CV voltage by observing 32 knobs/sliders/switches of any module
- INFIX, µINFIX: insert for polyphonic cables
- INTERMIX: precision adder 8x8 advanced switch matrix with support for 8 scenes
- MAZE: 4 channel sequencer running on a 2-dimensional grid
- µMAP: a single instance of CV-MAP’s slots with attenuverters
- MIDI-CAT: map parameters to midi controllers similar to MIDI-MAP with midi feedback and note mapping
- ReMOVE Lite: a recorder for knob/slider/switch-automation
- ROTOR Model A: spread a carrier signal across 2-16 output channels using CV
- SIPO: serial-in parallel-out shift register with polyphonic output and CV controls
- STRIP: manage a group of modules in a patch, providing load, save as, disable and randomize
