Module Finder is live!

Along with v2.0 firmware, we also just released the Module Finder page on our site:

https://metamodule.info/modulefinder

This is based on and inspired by @gabrielroth 's module finder page.

The idea is that you can filter by module tag (LFO, Sequencer, etc) and also brand/plugin. You can sort by CPU usage (min/max range) and also set the block size you prefer.

Hopefully this is useful (I’ve already discovered some gems!). We’ll keep it updated with load test numbers as new firmware and plugins are released.

Please feel free to report any issues here!

This is awesome! I will feel a small sense of pride every time I use it.

Can I suggest linking the module and plugin names to the relevant pages on the VCV Library? That’s probably the easiest way to figure out which modules will meet a particular need.

Also, there’s a typo in the tags for Unfiltered Volume 1 Indent Saturation: “ADistortion” should be “Distortion.”

Excellent. Please could you add links to the module details in VCV.

I think that’s a typo in the original Rack plugin.json file, so @trickyflemming would need to update it. Luckily it still matches for the “distortion” tag

Good idea. I think we can do that

Thanks for taking the time to create this!

That is awesome! That will help a lot!

Great stuff Dan, with so many modules now available this is a big bonus, props to gabrielroth for starting this ball rolling.

If you wish to add VCV Image URL, Manual URL, and VCV slug let me know, I have been keeping a spreadsheet current.

lol

OK, we added links: the module name links to the VCV page for the module, and the plugin name links to the VCV plugin page.

Works great, thanks!

I tried it and it immediately melted my module :grinning_face:

Excellent idea, that was really missing !!

Ok lol this should work though @danngreen - it just takes a while to load right

Great, this is really nifty. Thank you!

Right, it just take a while to load the module, but it runs great after that. I might need to modify the cpu tester code to account for things like this, e.g. run the patch for a few samples before starting the measurement.

There are frequent additions (which is great) but I have the impression that you never know when they were added.
Last week, I discovered the addition of a few modules from 21kHz and today a few from Cella.
I’m reiterating my request to add a date to the Module Finder so that I can sort by date of addition and see the new arrivals more easily.
Maybe the modules will be announced later. I don’t know how 4ms or the forum works, but I feel like a gold digger in Module Finder and I’m the only one in the know (I’m exaggerating on purpose).

+1 for this!

‘Date Added’ is really needed!

Hey, is there a way to show only metamodule supported plugins in VCV?

ModuleFinder is great! Pictures from the Modules would be nice, maybe for the future.

@ Pappest
That’s the problem. VCV won’t adapt their website for 4ms and plugin compatibility. That’s why Module finder exists.
I’ve had Metamodule since 12.11.2024 (and extention now), it’s always been a problem but we’ve come up with a solution. It’s pretty good already.
But I don’t want to be too harsh because I don’t know the difficulties involved in the technical and financial development of a tool like this.
