So, you’re ready to try a free and open platform for modular synths – even if you’re new to modular. Here’s how to get started. Ed.: In part one of Ted Pallas’ guide to VCV Rack for us, we got an overview of VCV Rack, an open source platform that brings software emulations of Eurorack modules to Mac, Windows, and Linux computers. It’s pretty transformative stuff. You can run virtual modules to synthesize and process sounds, both those emulating real hardware and many that exist only in software. You might try out modular synthesis for the first time, even if you’ve never worked with this approach to sound before. Or you might use Rack as a computer complement to physical hardware rigs, a way of testing out new modules before investing, or as a way of mixing computer and hardware modules.

Of course, where to begin can be overwhelming, especially if you’re new to this kind of software or hardware. So, let’s talk about how to get up and running – even if you’re new to these kinds of tools. -PK Where to find Rack This article is for people who are new to modular, open-source software, or both!

We’re going to go over where to find Rack, how to get it on your machine, and then will examine a sample patch to check out some modular techniques — the sort of techniques you might lack if you’re more used to working with desktop synthesizers or computer DAWs and soft synths. The best place to find Rack is at its official project homepage: (Check out the for additional community and support, as well.) Before you grab the download, register an account (or login if you’ve got one already).

Linking your Rack to a user account makes it easier to install virtual modules automatically and to stay up to date. Then, you have a choice: you can build from source, or use pre-built stuff.

If you’re not accustomed to this choice, that is to say, you have easy conventional installers linked right from the top of the VCV page – installed as you’d install any other Mac and Windows software – or the option of building from source if you prefer, more as a developer (or typical Linux user) would. Building from source means maximum compatibility with every cool new module, and the ability to stay up with the developers – not a bad idea, given this project is in active development. On the other hand, using pre-built software is easier, and now provides access to a package manager for one-click installation of the most popular modules (including commercial ones), and account synchronization.

That’s not an either/or choice, you can do both. Letters from nowhere for mac. So, we’ve included some tips on building from source. And a note on that: Don’t fear the source. The installation process for the developer version is relatively painless, so for this tutorial, we’ll follow along with that. (If you just want to get going quickly, and our explanation here loses you, you can try one of these pre-built binaries.) And some modules – like, as we write this, the monome modules – do require the developer version. Translation: if you can follow instructions and use copy/paste, you’ll be okay, and you’ll be done in under about half an hour (or much less depending on what’s on your system)! Here, we’ll walk you separately through the automatic binary installation and the process of building from source for those who want to try it.

Downloading binaries, package manager for modules Grabbing the pre-built binaries is definitely the fastest way to get up and running, and it does support a lot of modules via a new automatic package manager. You’ll find installers at the top of the VCV Rack page for Mac, Windows, and Linux. With VCV installed (either from source or from the binary), you have just an empty rack – the same as if you bought an empty Eurorack case from the synthesizer store. So, you can add some virtual modules. A series of modules called Fundamental are now bundled in the pre-built binaries, but you can add some more fun stuff to that. Grab installers automatically via the new plugin manager. Just sign up for a free account to keep in sync.

For automated installation of both free and paid modules, there’s now a plugin manager that works with any version of Rack 0.51 or later. The plugin manager syncs your favorite plugins via your account – a cloud sync for modules, if you like. From your Web browser, once you’re logged in, you can scroll down and click the green buttons that say ‘+Free’ to add all the available free modules.
