[gentleclockdivider]

Forget about Berlingmodular , it's already here with gorgeous scalable vector graphics .
Vcv took the synthworld by storm so let's embrace it , and since Urs is a big fan fan of modulars ..
Any chance of seeing an u-he filter , or anything interesting for vcv rack ?

VCVR reminds me of Napster, but for Eurorack modules.

VCVR reminds me of Napster, but for Eurorack modules.

All VCV Eurorack ports are licensed/authorized by their respective owners. There have been a couple IP violations in the past from third-parties hoping to make a quick buck or just are unaware of how to use IP, but they are banned from being posted on all VCV-managed communities.

It seems to be a misled blanket statement to say that the effort of hundreds of plugin developers devoted to bringing unique and classic concepts to all people interested in modular synthesis, regardless of wealth level, is a bastion of piracy and unoriginality. I personally don't believe that anyone should be excluded from learning any musical instrument, and the modular synthesizer was previously one of the most excluding instruments on the planet (even more than the harp or the marimba), yet they're easy to emulate on a $200 computer if someone is willing to implement it. VCV is a completely legal/kosher way to solve this problem.

Are you saying that Mutable Instrument's move to closed source is entirely unrelated to VCVR?

AFAIK Mutable is fine with VCV, even working hand to hand with the preview modules. So I don't see any problem or any reason to go closed source becouse of VCV.

Are you saying that Mutable Instrument's move to closed source is entirely unrelated to VCVR?

From https://vcvrack.com/AudibleInstruments.html:
"When Mutable Instruments releases a new Eurorack module, its source code is kept closed to limit the proliferation of opportunistic “DIY” clones at a time when there is a lot of demand for the module and to avoid exposing dealers to canceled pre-orders. After several months, a second production run is finished and the source code is released.

In a collaboration between VCV and Mutable Instruments, we allow you to try these new modules before their source code is publicly available with the Audible Instruments Preview plugin. We don’t intend to profit from this collaboration. Instead, 80% of sales are donated to the Direct Relief Humanitarian Medical Aid charity organization. The price exists to limit widespread distribution until each virtual module is mature enough to be merged into Audible Instruments."


In other words, Mutable Instruments' practice is to release batch #1, wait half a year, release batch #2, and soon afterwards publish the firmware source code. He has not "moved to closed-source" but is simply using VCV as a platform for people to try a software version between batch #1 and #2.

Sheesh. Ok. Only because you do something legal and for free and with all the passion and all that... does not mean I need to like it.

I didn't like mp3 and what it did, and I don't like VCVR and what it does (e.g. makes people ask for free u-he stuff, because why should they pay when they can have VCVR for free).

So there you have it. From my perspective, VCVR is like Napster, but for Eurorack. You don't need to like my opinion, but I'm certainly allowed to have it, no?
