VCV Rack interface with Cakewalk using VCV Bridge


VCV Rack plays and records reliably with Cakewalk using the VCV Bridge and the setup is pretty straightforward.

Find the VCV-Bridge-64.dll file usually found in in C:\Program Files\Steinberg\VSTPlugins, following VCV Rack installation, and copy to the DAW VST search path. Start up VCV rack and select Bridge as the Audio Driver and Port 1 in the Core Audio module.

Open Cakewalk and add the Bridge VST as an FX Instrument to an audio track (it may be slightly different for other DAWs). Start playing and recording!.

Further extensions to VCV Rack are also possible with VCV-HOST https://vcvrack.com/Host.html capable of hosting third party VST instruments. VCV-Host costs $30.

  1. Sad to say that V1 of VCV no longer supports VCV Bridge. Apparently there's a VCV VST coming with V2.
