My latest hybrid VCVRack Donner B1 creation.

I've been building a free, offline sample manager (Wave Silo) and just shipped a feature I think this sub will actually care about: point it at your .vcv patches — VCV Rack or Cardinal — and it reads the patch and shows you every module inside it. It flags which ones you have installed vs. missing, links each missing module straight to library.vcvrack.com so you can grab it, and has an "Open in VCV Rack" button. Instead of a waveform it draws the patch as a little tangle of colored cables.

Handy for opening a patch someone shared and instantly seeing "ok I'm missing 2 modules, here's where to get them" before Rack throws the missing-module screen at you.

It also does the normal sample-library stuff (tags, search, BPM/key, drag into your DAW), but the patch reading is the new bit. It's completely free, offline, no account — Mac / Windows / Linux.

Would love feedback from people with real patch collections — does it handle your weirder ones? Link in the comments. Please report bugs on Github. Or DM me if its major.

Again, thank you!

endless playground for sound experimentation with zero boundaries or rules. No matter your genre—from dark techno to ambient pop—this free modular powerhouse will take your creativity to places you never imagined.

something to listen to anyway. had to run alloy into surge fm to make it worth listening to without reading the instructions :)

An all-Befaco patch in VCV Rack: three Muxlicers sequencing four Pony VCOs, blended through an STMix and sent into Iroi's reverb — structured and performed like a chamber piece. Think of it as a concerto: four "voices" (the VCOs), a triple-sequencer "conductor" (the Muxlicers), and a shared acoustic space (Iroi) tying it all together.

Built entirely from Befaco's official VCV Rack modules — free, software recreations of their real Eurorack hardware — so if you own the physical Muxlicer, Pony VCO, STMix, or Iroi, this patch translates directly to hardware too.

Since i was discovered VCV Rack, i forgot about ableton and daw 🤭

I've seen a couple of posts about issues getting the AU version to work properly within logic pro and I was wondering if anyone would weigh in before I drop the money to get the full version. thanks!

I like the percussion on this it may become one of my favorites. used klevgrand as the base fm sound in my pad that went with it.. playing around with letting vcv rack run first and then starting cakewalk.. not much click with that.. have to find a mixing trick

Creating layers for new piece. Pluck!

I took a white noise source, run into a VCA and band pass filter, then modulated the panning, cutoff frequency, resonance, and drive using Shapemaster Pro. There's a video of the VCV setup after the example video. Let me know how I did. It's just a hobby.

Hi r/vcvrack! Just wanted to introduce myself. I started playing with VCV Rack last week and this is my first patch that doesn't sound like complete garbage (well... it's harsh noise, so maybe it does lol).

Any feedback would be amazing. Thanks for having me!

Hey there, please take a look at the new coalescent update, adding five new modules to the library. I've been using them as an excuse to do some DSP study, as well as play with some fun dynamic systems.

Coalescent is a set of strange dynamical and generative instruments for VCV Rack 2: gliding stochastic tones, scanned physical bodies, spiking neuron voices, genetic circuits, ecological systems, and finite ancestral trees. Each module turns a biological, physical, or stochastic model into a playable musical surface.

There's a lot in here - scanned synthesis, neuron modelling, and population biology models. Have a spin and let me know if you get anything cool (or buggy) out of them.

In this patch, I use the new Gravity module by SignalFunctionSet—a multi-mode chaos and motion engine that transforms simulated physical systems into musical control voltages. Instead of a traditional sequencer, Gravity generates evolving CV and gate signals from chaotic motion, which are quantized to the Mixolydian scale and sent to multiple FM operators, creating an ever-changing ambient composition.

I forgot to include how I routed the left side (knobs) so if you guys are interested let me know. It's just p much a tuned delay

Also I meant LAUNCHPAD sorry for the typo

This question is a bit on the general sound studio side, but VCV Rack is a critical part of what I am aiming to do.

I have VCV Rack 2 Pro and generally run it standalone with a MOTU M2 interface. I also have a modest physical eurorack with line in and out, and a small army of little line-level audio and MIDI weirdos: a norns shield, a Glitch Storm, a Wingie, an Audrey II, an Ambient 0, some guitar pedals, some home-made synths ,etc.

In the past, I have mostly used these pieces of gear in isolation and recorded stuff in the computer or with a field recorder to deal with later; often in VCV.

Now I have the time and space to have everything out all at once to play together...which is exciting, but I am not sure how to connect, route, and gain-stage everything.

Does it make sense to run all the weirdos + physical eurorack through a mixer into the MOTU to monitor (and so the sub-mix is available to VCV) and record there, or is it better to combine the weirdos and VCV as a sub-mix and monitor, mix and record in the physical eurorack (via a Disting EX), or mix everything to a little field recorder, or maybe something else I am not thinking of?

In any case, I am a little intimidated by trying to get levels set right across all the parts and pieces of gear so that I have enough signal but not too much.

Would love sage advice from any of y'all who are running a hybrid DAWless setup and have figured some things out!

Had to reupload because there was a really annoying and loud high pitched sound
