Hello. I recently installed VCV Rack on my laptop. It was already on my desktop.
Then I realized my account knows I have a lot of modules, but they aren’t on this computer. So I can’t use my account to download them on the second machine.
Is there a way around this? Or do I need to just create a second account and login to different accounts on each computer?
VCV Rack should definitely work on multiple computers. When you launch Rack on the laptop you need to sign in (in the Library menu) to the same account as on the desktop.
After signing in, all of your plugins should then show up in the Library menu as being updatable. Choose ‘Update all’ and wait for everything to be downloaded to the laptop.
You’ll then need to restart Rack before they show up—but I believe it usually prompts you to restart when it has finished all the downloads.
Stellare Link in VCV is limited to being a tempo follower.
see this thread:
Maybe another dev picks up on Ableton link in VCV Rack - with tempo leader capabilites too. @vortico Maybe something to consider for a pro “freebie”.
… maybe I misunderstood. If you’re looking to have your patches (and samples, wavetables, settings, presets) synchronized between two computers running rack. VCV doesn’t have a “cloud drive”. That’s something you have to set up yourself - perhaps using a NAS - or a dropbox / google drive / microsoft onedrive cloud storage account. Not sure if it works if you set the user directory to a cloud synced drive - there has been tales of onedrive and the autosave or whatnot not getting along.
