RFM Space - Modular Sytem in development

[creart]

After building loads of modules for Cherry Audio’s Voltage Modular in Java, I took the plunge about 2 weeks ago to start learning C++ and Juce. I’m creating a modular synth framework to hold all my modules and have some interesting functionality that Arturia’s or VCVRack and Voltage Modular versions lack… I’m naming it RFM Space and I am documenting the whole process… here a work in progress image..

Do tell, what functions that are lacking are you going to implement ?

[creart]

I sense some sarcasm
There are all kinds of things like grouping modules by functions, type or even colour together that I will be implementing.
Also easier editing 'cross'rack'
And I will create global rack modifiers..
I have built the Formant DIY modular back in 1977. And have been working with modular synth software since 2003 or so...
I have built more than 100 modules for Cherry Audio's Voltage Modular and think I have a reasonable idea in the meantime of what I would like to be different in editing these things

Looks interesting. Will be keeping my eye on this.

Thanks ftech!!!
I have actually opened a Patreon page, where I document the progress

Thanks Shabdahbriah!!!
It has actually already grown again!

RFM? Like those modules! Nice!

Yes rj0 - Request for Music is my 'brand' - and I still love to create modules for Voltage Modular, but in some ways it feels very restricted...
By programming my own rack I have already expanded the capabilities of a small sequencer module for instance...
I can just connect one to an other by putting it next to an earlier and the system 'understands' I want to connect them and I can create multi sequencers that way...

Glad to hear!

Greatly appreciated!

No sarcasm meant!

Sounds good, especially you mention in another reply auto connecting by proximity

Ah sorry for misunderstanding then That's the problem with English not being my native language, I might interpret answer differently
But yes - in this image you can see that the bottom 4 TSEQ modules (small 4 step blocks) are automatically connected just by sitting next to each other and for one 16 step sequence (or less if any step is muted or omitted)
