@unfa Define "operational".
Still WIP, still has missing features, but already works, you can build it and run it yes.

At the time of writing, status is:
1. You can only run it when building from source, as I did not setup a way to find the resources it needs. so binaries are not redistributable. Paths are hardcoded to where you build from
2. No MIDI
3. No host parameters
4. No state save/load

All the rest already works I guess..

287 modules so far.
(from Core + 10 collections)

Sadly there is a lot of stuff out there that is not ready for VCVRack v2, Valley being a very famous one.

Not even Befaco is fully ready, the branch where the new/main plugins live is not yet updated for v2.

Makes me doubtful that VCVRack v2 will be out in the short-term.. If they do release it, it is going to miss a LOT of modules.

Now with audio too!

It is at this point I realize I don't understand these CV concepts at all 😂

Anyone can share cool patches that only use open-source plugins?

@nurinoas often when I get asked that the answer is "Yes".

It is at the top of https://planet.linuxaudio.org/ at the moment 😉

The VCV as plugin saga continues.
Now with plugins being setup for building. Added AudibleInstruments, Befaco and Fundamental so far.

Still need to get the actual engine to work, so it receives audio/midi from host and sends it back as needed.

But if we got so far already, that last piece should be quite doable too.

PS: if you know a must-have opensource VCV plugin, let me know! Shouldnt be too difficult to get more plugins in at this point.

Thank you for your consideration 😂

Another release day is here!
One more update to Carla https://kx.studio/News/?action=view&url=carla-241-has-been-released
Enjoy :)

@rghvdberg That seems to be a common occurrence. Maybe the cats are trying to tell you something... 🤔

@wizard did you try with v2.4 version of carla?

Did you know, if separating the plugin into a different process, the toolkit issues go away?

1. Add "Run in bridge mode" option
2. ???
3. Profit!

The secret sauce is Carla, as usual 😊
But you won't even notice it is there.

The generic plugin view looks ok enough, making the gui-less plugins usable too.
Now it is just deciding if this is good enough as-is, or if something critical is missing before a release..
(not counting with final polishing/fixing of course, just the feature-set)

Tempted to just go with it as-is, if I wait for things to be perfect we are going to be here a very long time... 🤔

@mstrohm that would be renoise, https://renoise.com

@tinfoilhat@fosstodon.org It is just something I am experimenting with.
Clone and build from https://github.com/DISTRHO/Ildaeil not forgetting git submodules.

Just doing a test for the mini-plugin host thingy, this upload has audio, right?
The main plugin controls remain at the top now where they belong.
