Solution to VCV Rack 1.0 installation OpenGL error

I tried to install VCV 1.0 on my laptop only to get an installer error 'OpenGL 2.0 not supported'. OpenGL Extensions Viewer reports full support for OpenGL 3.1 so go figure. Solution is here
however. Download zip file, unzip to a folder and from there run VCV-Rack.cmd, thanks 'pal1000'.

Map Midi controls onto VCV module controls

Its a straightforward process to map midi controllers to VCV controls. Add the VCV MIDI-MAP module to your project then set the Midi Driver mode and device. Then click on 'Unmapped' and rotate or slide your physical control, then click the associated control on the VCV module. Here's a short video that maps BeatStep knobs to filter cutoff and resonance.

VCV Rack interface with Cakewalk using VCV Bridge

Image
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.

Build a Synthesizer VST on Windows using Cabbage

Image
Following up on my 2018 post I’ve taken a further look at Cabbage. Back in 2018 I could only get the standalone examples to work and they suffered from long latencies. The latest version 2.7.0 has installed reliably without long latencies. Furthermore, its packed with goodies not least ‘Export as VST and VST3’ and notably ‘Export as VCV Rack Module’. I’ve just played with a couple of standard paraphonic examples so far but everything worked and the VST export process is so simple and fast. The Cabbage scripts combine the UI with Audio processing so its really easy to maintain and see the relationships between controls and processing. The GUI graphics are tolerable and there are extensions that look like they may improve the imagery further. Signal flow is easy to follow in the scripts. Here’s a classic Analogue synth core; VCO, LPFilter, and LFO modulating filter cutoff, with ADSR modulating stereo output amplitude: and here's the relevant script: kADSR1 madsr iAtt, iDec, iSu...
