I guess the cutoff frequency cv knob of the Fundamental VCF is the problem in my patch. The max amount is identical, but the knob in V2 is scaled differently compared to V1.... :idea:

The VST version is frustrating me at the moment.

Tried to sync the Clock module incl. start/stop to the DAW. Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I had to use the 3rd party Bogaudio BOOL module for this task. Providing the VCV sequencer with a clock signal from the DAW doesn't work at all. No matter what clock division I choose, it sounds glitchy and unstable.

Additionally I have several problems with the plugin window. I like VCV Rack, but I think the VST plugin is currently more a good VST editor with inputs and outputs. For 99 Bucks and two months after the release, this is a bit disappointing to me. I hope they get rid of the problems soon.

Just take a lead from the CLK output on the MIDI-CV into the BPM input of the CLKD module and set the CLKD’s mode to P24. It’s not obvious, but if you search the VCVRack forum you’ll find answers to most basic operational issues

Yes, if you know the right terms for the search engine. Maybe it's just me, but if you are not reading regularly at the VCV forum, it's hard to find something. No helpful threads pinned at the top, no subforum for Rack VST/DAW issues.

It's works, thanks. I don't get it at first, to set the CLKD to P24.

450 BPM is the maximum. Hmm....
Here’s how:

Midi > CV module CLK (Not CLK/N) out to Impromptu Clocked BPM input.

Press Mode button on Clocked till it says P24

That’s it - you should be synced and stable.

My opinion is still the same. It's all a bit experimental, Rack VST is far away from being a well implemented VST plugin. You just have to look at Reaktor or Softube Modular, to see how smooth it can work....

Another issue. I started a thread because of this problem @vcvcommunity....

Not seen that behaviour, but one thought as you're not using the MIDI input I suggest not leaving any track pointing at VCV Rack to be set as "All Ins".
Ableton has that 'all ins' behaviour by default on MIDI tracks and I find it a constant cause of annoyance. So does it still do the same without that?
It could be something as daft as you stopping it with a spacebar and the spacebar set to generate C3.

I rebuilt your setup in Live 11 and Bitwig 4.1 without any problems.
There is no such note jump when stopping playback.
So i don't think it's an issue with the VCV VST.

You played hopefully other notes then C3, otherwise there is no issue.

Tested it with Live 11.1, same problem.

Makes sense. I guess every software company would love to welcome you as their support employee....

Yes.

Using the play/stop button with the mouse has the same effect.

When I use the IAC driver for midi input, it works without the issue. So this could be a workaround for the moment.

I also checked my Ableton preferences, changed the buffer size, no difference....

You're right, when playing notes other than C3 this problem occurs... but only in Ableton Live (11.1 here too).
In Bitwig there is no jump to C3 and that's why i still say it's not the VCV VST... alone at least :hug:

Thanks for the feedback.

Meanwhile the support has answered me....
Thanks for the bug report, and sorry you're experiencing this issue! This is a known bug and we are hoping to fix it soon.

Let us know if there's anything else you need.

Hora Amplitude is good, but it's unfortunately not possible to choose between EXP/LIN function.
did you try vult? no idea if you will be happy with it, but i use vult punch , debriatus sat and fold and many of his modules on all patchs i want some hardware rawness and depth . at first i was septical but after weeks of using them to me these are maybe the best /favorite emulation at capturing the essence of nice analog hardwarish sound that i like. it has the balls, the depth and rawness , i rate it above Ni and softube modelisation for my liking, it s more dirty and raw in a way i like.

the way he does he fist recreate what he emulate with circuits in hardware form, and tweak the circuits / make it better or with some intresting variation , then he recreate everyhting with code. if i m right his full time job is about circuit modelling and since maybe 20 years so he probably know what he is doing ( i could be wrong my memorie might trick me )

Yeah, bought the Vult Modules bundle two years ago.

My personal problem with the Vult modules is, they tend to sound distorted/overdriven (except the Basal module). That's often too much for my needs....

the best solution might be to use vcv host and some third party plugins for more refined sound coloration .

i was thinking if synapse bring some module vcv could be really amazing .
