Doctor Bob has been in OSC for 10 years and never missed one competition since then. That's quite an achievement. Doctor Bob, you are a legend. Congratulations!!

These are 10 claps for the ten years Doctor Bob has been in OSC. I wanted to do 120 claps for each entry, but the maximum number of claps I can put is 30.

I can't believe it's going to be a year since I posted my very first track.

Oh my god, I'm so happy.
Let the real king shine. Surge XT is such a labor of love.
If you never tried it, please give it a go.

Why not Surge XT, the latest and greatest?

Any version of Surge can be used, most non-masochists will use XT... although...

Question for BJ or Richard - can we use the VCV Rack Surge XT modules?

Yes. Any version of Surge can be used.
Audio from any other sound source or samples is as usual prohibited

Can I also mix XT and VCV modules?

Thanks for highlighting Surge XT and Surge XT for VCV Rack again, and congratulations on your successful run of challenges! We'll lurk here if folks get stuck but our discord (which has a link from the about screen in the VST) is a great place for realtime help from the community too.

As to free preset packs, most of them have been contributed to releases and are in the third party library now. There's some others around but we ship with nearly 2000, with the third party ones highlighting some of the more modern features.

Have fun!

Yeah a bit of clarity here would be super. I took the rules to mean "anything which you plumb to audio out must have the signal generated by surge" but things like CV (so if, say, you use a Bog LFO or shapemaster) or mixing (so like mixmaster) are also fine in a patch. But I don't make the rules!

If it's helpful, but again I don't make the rules, I would propose for rack something like "audio rate signals are surge modules only except for mixing and routing; CV and modulation controls (anything hooked up to a v/oct or mod or gate input in surge modules) can be from elsewhere" rule. That would mean that surge xt in rack was a lot like surge xt in bitwig, where you could use the built in modulators and note manipulators and sends and stuff.

This begs another question - Can we use VCV Rack Pro (the only version that supports being loaded as a plugin), as a host within a host (e.g. loaded in Reaper), to access the Surge XT modules, and perhaps also using it as an effect with free FX modules ?

I think the Surge XT modules are available in Cardinal, which can run as a plugin (for free), but VCV Rack has the benefit of all the Airwindows FX plugins available in a single module (thanks baconpaul and jinxter for this!).

Whoa, I haven't realized Airwindows isn't available in Cardinal. It's an epic collection and module to have in VCV form, for sure!
