I’m just now getting into VCV with the free version and love it! My question is…I have a touchscreen (Slate Raven) and the free version of VCV Rack does not respond to or recognize touch. Does the Pro version? Or is there a setting I’m missing? It would be awesome to have touchscreen access.
Thanks for any help!
AFAIK no. THe pro version only offers VCV Rack as a VST/CLAP plugin. The free version is standalone only.
Pro is a plugin so all events are handled by the plugin host (which tends to differ a lot between implementations) and likely will be even less useful for touchscreen …
I don’t believe there is any difference between the Pro and the regular standalone.
Sorry, I was wrong. See VCV Manual - Frequently Asked Questions :
Does VCV Rack work with touch screens?
Yes, disable “View > Lock cursor while dragging params” in Rack’s menu and optionally set the “Knob mode” to rotary if you prefer.
VCV Rack does not currently support multi-touch gestures.
Ahornberg great find thanks! Sadly it did not change anything. Maybe its a Raven thing or its a Pro thing? The search continues.
Thank you everybody who posted. I appreciate it!
Any updates about VCV working with the Slate Raven? I have an MTi2 and VCV (Pro standalone version) does not respond to touch screen.
Thanks!
No change. Rack has no touch support beyond how a particular OS maps touch to mouse input (plus the possibly helpful ‘Lock cursor’ option).
The Raven is a Multitouch screen, plus software customized for particular DAWs. Perhaps you should be asking Raven to add support for VCV Rack like it was another DAW.
