VCV Rack 2 teaser

[VCVRackIdeas (Artem Leonov)]

Great news, any alpha info?

@Vega

I suspect it’s the multiple SVG option - see Vult’s knobs.

Vult knobs are coded rather than SVGs iirc

[sethx9]

I can’t WAIT to throw money at you for this!

[pgatt]

Yes!!! So pumped!

[apalomba (Anthony Palomba)]

YEEEEE HAAAAA!!!

@Vortico

updating to v2 is easy and involves following a few search-and-replace steps

looks pretty easy. Not surprisingly I’m in the 10%. I hold font references across frames, I think I do unsupported things with param quantities, I have used derivation to turn of randomization. Still, not so bad.

Will a v2 branch appear in the Rack repo when it’s ready for devs to start porting?

This is wonderful news. Congratulations, @Vortico. A long road to an astonishing destination.

[Ahornberg]

I also think they are coded because there are no knob-related SVG-files in the res-folder of Vult modules.

Great work @Vortico ! Looking forward to the release party @Omri_Cohen

I think I don’t need them, got plenty from Hora etc, but bought them in a way to thank Andrew for soldiering on.

One feature I would like would be an ‘explode’ option where you can convert the full drum machine into modules with the same settings and connections, probably inserted into a fresh rack rail.

My rationale is sometimes you just want to get started with something quickly to get a beat going, but later realise you need to sidechain the kick or stick an effect on the snare etc.

I don’t know if the VCV code supports modules having the power to insert new cabinets, but if anyone does or can subvert the existing code I guess it would be VCV/Andrew ;).

The Stoermelder Strip module might be interesting for your workflow.

congratulations to vortico, the module developers and the community.

I bought them and first impressions are I like the individual modules a lot - can’t see myself ever using the combined drum machine though as I’ll inevitably want to put some reverb/delay/saturation or whatever on individual drums.

[Eurikon (Latif)]

The combined Drumkit could also be used for purposes where individual control is not needed, ie. destructive fx mangling of a drumloop.

@Vortico

Great news on V2… all looking very good and can’t wait to try it out!

I know it’s been a while but please can you let us know what if any of this previous info you posted back in April 2020 still holds true? (other than the name which we know has changed). In particular, will developers of open-source and commercial plugins still be granted beta builds and licenses? Thanks.

Rack development blog

The tentative release plan for Rack v2 and Rack for DAWs is the following. By “wait”, I mean “ensure that a certain amount of time passes before the next step”. Continue working on Rack v2 and Rack for DAWs. Once both are “alpha” quality, release Rack v2 source code. Wait at least 4 weeks while testers and plugin developers review the code. Once both are “beta” quality, begin providing development builds of Rack v2. Send Rack for DAWs builds and licenses to testers. Wait at least 2 weeks for u…

[Schabbes]

Oh yes! Congratulations Andrew and VCV!

[Atman_Rez]

Does anyone know if this will work in Logic Pro X? I know it uses AU but i think it supports VST2. Looked around and could not find anything on this.

Thanks

[TheTechnobear]

great work, exciting times…

@Vortico - Will it include universal binary support with native Apple Silicon? (for both rack and plugins)

[steve]

Pretty sure Logic doesn’t support VST, only AU. So it won’t work initially as the launch will only include a VST2 plugin. AU is coming later though I believe.

[Recep_Tayyip_Erdogan]

Will the VST need iLok?
