VCV Rack v2 released

Post by sysrqer »

After 2 years of development, the latest major update of the virtual Eurorack platform VCV Rack is here. Rack gives you the full flexibility of a Eurorack modular synthesizer with the convenience and portability of DAW software. Rack 2 comes in two variants:

Free (open-source): Standalone application.
Pro ($149 regular price, $99 until 2022): Standalone, VST2, more plugin formats coming soon.

A bundle containing Rack 2 Pro + VCV Drums + VCV Sound Stage is also available until 2022 for $139, having a regular price of $209.

Thanks!
I just discovered it online (youtube, of course) and was amazed!
Sadly, it's not in the Debian repo (as so many things)...so I wonder if I dare the jump...

You can download it, and that is basically the only method to run it in most Linux distros. Here's part of the story about it (quite incomplete because many comments and issues connected have been deleted): https://github.com/VCVRack/Rack/pull/1406

There is also a long post, that we can agree or disagree with it, of Aria Salvatrice on VCV Rack: https://aria.dog/barks/why-i-will-never ... k-anymore/

But if I may... I would suggest Cardinal instead, which is a VCV Rack as plugin with only FOSS modules. See this topic: viewtopic.php?f=48&t=23731

in mix, nobody can hear your screen

Hi, thanks for this input. I looked at Cardinal and went into overload. Wow...that's a lot of real estate to cover :D
It'll take some time to master this, though...it's the first thing I ever learned in the 80-ties when really getting into the music...
Those days, I found an old magazine ( something like this...yep, this is where I come from :wink: ) and learned all about VCO's, VCA's, LFO's and what not...
It'll be a homecomming, I'm sure :)
