Thank you so much for the sale!!! I’ve been saving up this year for Pro, and now I got it earlier than I anticipated. And it works flawlessly in Studio One (windows). Very amped.

So exciting! Rack 2.2 Audio Unit working like a charm here in Logic Pro X (Intel Mac).
Made a video right away showing the 3 different AU plugins (MidiFX, Instrument, Audio FX).

I’m not sure what I’m looking for here but I can’t see any errors. clap-info VCV Rack 2.clap produces a very long output of nested dictionaries but starts with this:

Well this means the absolute simplest host can load the rack clap on your system so the dlopen works. So the conflict causing your problem is somewhere further downstream the stack of bitwig rack and your os.
Notably though clap info doesn’t try and start the gui layer in a window.
I was hoping it might fail with a clean error which would help you resolve by the way. The fact that it succeeded means I’m out of obvious tools to help you debug.

Rack Pro will be the only VCV product on sale this year.
ok, thank you for the clarification.
Works fine on my MAC… Au in Live
hi! not for me, at least not in native mode of either ableton live or logic pro, which is the main way one should use an m1 mac…
Add LV2 and I might actually buy it.

Has anyone successfully run the AU on Ableton 11 on an M1 Mac? I’m getting the error below:
Something similar is happening on Maschine 2, I can load the plug-in but when I try to open the window nothing happens.
@trey.connet It looks like VCV Pro only works in Rosetta mode on a Mac M1. Hope there will be a update that supports M1 native mode.

Rack can be built from source for M1 today. The issue is the general ecosystem of modules that aren’t there yet and may take a long time (given low/slow level of participation from many developers).
I was under the impression that VCV will generate M1 builds for all plugins at some point in the future. I am not aware that I need to do anything as a developer.
All Open Source plugins, if they have been tested and build on ARM by the developers. But the closed source ones the developers need to build and supply themselves. So there’ll likely be a long tail of semi-abandoned open or closed plugins, that might never build or be supplied on ARM. I think it’s wise on Andrew’s part to give it a long lead with a test/beta ARM version like this, so developers can slowly build and test against it, until a critical mass has been achieved and then an official ARM release can happen. I also think the majority of users are going to be disappointed with it, probably having unrealistic expectations. Informal testing amongst friends in here showed an initial max. 15% performance improvement, and that’s it. So I think the major reason of doing it at all is, that at some point Apple will pull the plug on Rosetta2/Intel binaries on Macs. After all they did say it’s a transition period. That, and then to avoid the trouble and confusion of mixed-architecture Rack PRO and plugins in DAWs.

if it is anything like the Power to Intel transition of longish ago, then there will be a way to run Intel apps for at least 2.5 years, it was close to 3 when Apple ditched Rosetta 1 as far as I remember (I used MacOS X since it’s beta release). So likely not that soon… But then again, Mr. Cook may not see things the Job did 
From Mac transition to Apple silicon - Wikipedia :
Transition from PowerPC to Intel
Support for PowerPC applications via Rosetta was dropped from macOS in 10.7 “Lion” in July 2011, five years after the transition was complete
Transition to ARM
Apple announced its plans to shift the Macintosh platform to Apple silicon in a series of WWDC presentations in June 2020. The entire transition of the Macintosh product line is expected to take “about two years”, with the first ARM-based Macs released by the end of 2020. In January 2023, Apple announced updated Mac Mini models based on the M2 and M2 Pro, and discontinued the previous Intel Core i5/i7 model, leaving the Mac Pro as the last Intel-based Mac.
I predict the hardware transition will be complete this summer with a new Mac PRO, and five years go quickly 
Also, no guarantees at all. Apple have said nothing about Rosetta2 end of life, so in theory it could come any day.

So do you need to buy the full version to get VST plugin version?
yes, you need to buy Rack 2 Pro
then you get the VCV vst plugin, and some other goodies
