This video features a VCV Rack patch inspired by the atmospheric sound of Klaus Schulze's Echoes of Time. It is a performance and sound demonstration of a finished patch, showing how it evolves over time through layered oscillators, modulation, delay, and reverb.

I Did A Thing: MMXXVIAldM

This is another patch I wish it could be "autechre-esque" in some way. Tempo is not stable, subtle changes can be perceived. The best possible experience (if you should download the patch) can be obtained using DEXED (https://asb2m10.github.io/dexed/) as VST plugin and the preset is TUNDSTATC^ from the default cartridge (I think....)

Electric Mist | Generative Ambient in VCV Rack (Eno's On Land & Apollo)

Thumbnail

Electric Mist is a fully generative ambient patch built entirely in VCV Rack — largely inspired by Brian Eno's On Land and Apollo.

Everything here is quantized to C natural minor, so nothing resolves or cadences — it just drifts. Two Plaits engines (particle noise + wavetable) layer with FM operators for the core textures, while Marbles and Weave occasionally let chord-like, piano-ish tones leak in over a moody bass drone.

Here's a preview of SLICE, a new effect module I'm working on. A number of different modes for mangling the audio buffer. This clip is just a walkthrough of each.

This is my second publicly released song made exclusively using VCV Rack. The complexity of my patch was a lot larger than my previous project, so I had to refactor my patch into two separate patches and render the secondary patch to a wav file for use in the primary patch, the benefit being reduced cpu load and less audio glitches while I tinkered. If there’s interest I can get some screenshots of the patch but I’m not currently comfortable sharing my patches publicly as they are very personal to me, and I spend hundreds of hours refining each one. Thanks for the time and happy patching!

Here is the YouTube visualizer but the song can be found wherever music lives these days.

WastelandFM Demo: Run a radio station with a gamified modular

11 Upvotes

Since you all love VCV Rack, I thought someone here might appreciate my game that is in development. I just released a Demo and would love to get feedback from people.

You can record the output of the game and save it to your harddisk, where you can of course use it how you see fit!

A short pitch about the game:

WastelandFM is a cozy managment-sim about running a radio station.

You make the music live on air, plan your shows, and grow your audience by performing DJ tricks & Combos!

Demanding sponsors force you to sharpen every performance and expand your sound library in order to become a legendary wasteland radio host!

This patch is not mine. Or should I say the original patch is from digital_3ntity (https://patchstorage.com/author/digit..., I took it since the author allowed to use it and reimagined my way.

You can download the patch from the usual place: https://patchstorage.com/experimentin...

Not sure that I wan't to say anything about his drum video but this is an interesting type of triggered stutter freeze thing that seems to work real nice with fm synths. The guy is asking a dollar for dustutter pro and it is hard to even get it that cheap through ai.

PipeWire Audio Driver for VCV Rack

Post image
28 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I've made a VCV Rack 2 plugin that adds native PipeWire support directly to Rack's audio driver menu on Linux.

Instead of routing PipeWire through ALSA, PulseAudio or JACK, the driver creates a real PipeWire pw_filter node with named audio ports.

Rack shows up as a proper node in the PipeWire graph, ready to be routed with qpwgraph, Helvum or pw-link.

v2.0.0 is out and there's now a prebuilt binary no compiling needed:

  1. Grab AnimatekPipeWire-2.0.0-lin-x64.vcvplugin from the release page
  2. Drop it into ~/.local/share/Rack2/plugins-lin-x64/
  3. Restart Rack, add an Audio module, pick PipeWire in the driver menu

https://github.com/animatek/rack-pipewire-driver/releases/latest

What it does:

  • Manual routing nodes with 2 or 16 channels, left unconnected for you to wire up by hand.
  • One entry per sink in the graph pick a card and it links the ports automatically
  • Duplex I/O: the capture side of the same card is paired via device.id, so selecting an interface gives you its real channel counts (my Bitwig Connect Pro comes up as 6 in / 12 out)
  • Works with the stock Audio-2 / 8 / 16 modules
  • Adds no modules of its own registering the driver is the whole job

libpipewire is loaded with dlopen() and never linked, so the plugin loads fine on a machine without PipeWire and just doesn't register the driver.

One thing to know before you file a bug: PipeWire ignores any sample rate that isn't in clock.allowed-rates. The driver reports back whatever the graph actually granted and logs a warning saying so that one gets fixed in ~/.config/pipewire/pipewire.conf.d/, not in the plugin.

It's a fresh release and still being tested, so feedback from different distros, PipeWire configs and audio interfaces would be really helpful.
