In no particular order I think the functionality of the following would add a lot to the ecosystem. Thinking here about modules without other hardware / software direct counterparts. Not to knock anyones hard work but I am much more interested in adding some modules that have some less common functions / workflows than additional regular reverbs, analog modeled osc’s and whatnot. Here is my list below, definitely not perfect but a lot of the modules I used in almost every VCV patch.
Stochastic Telegraph Memory Modules - new addition to the list
Null Path suite - um these are all fucking great.
Allright devices effects - I’m cheating here as they are hardware.
Path Set - Omri Cohen - nice granular and tape style loopers
Path Set - Cheese Grater suite - wonky granular fun.
Mindmeld Shapemaster + EQ master - fuck these would be AMAZING not sure exactly how the Shapemaster could be implemented outside of creating the shapes in vcv and exporting as presets, similar to my JW wishlist below.
Ahornberg suite - fun + tape recorder -would be really great to use Meta module as an end of chain recorder - maybe this can already be done using the VCV - I should probably try it out
Noi - cool granular? effects - DONE thanks to @etcetc
Rare Breeds Eugene and Polygene - great Euclidian sequencers
JW Modules - not sure how some of these would work - maybe adding preset knobs and programming sequences within VCV before exporting and then adding preset knobs to scan through them via cv? - anyway love these in vcv for their daw like note grids
I can try my hand at anything that is open source, such as Null Path. At a glance though it seems like the MM would be starved of enough inputs and outputs even with the expander for some of these though.
I can probably get in the following - the others don’t seem to have a MM friendly interface or are closed source.
Null Path
Noi
Path Set (only the free one, Omri’s collab is paid and closed source)
Rare Breeds
One thing I was thinking about for some of the modules is that creating MM specific versions / forks of plugins would be the way to go, in the case of some of the Null Path ones for instance maybe just having 4 ins or outs vs 8… ( please correct me if I’m wrong because I have very little understanding about open source and programming in general )
Regarding the paid modules like Omri’s I was just hoping they would see it and consider porting themselves, i think in the case of some of these premium plugins without hardware counterparts people might be willing to pay for an upgrade or something that includes MM compatibility.
After finally trying out the Stochastic Telegraph Memory Modules I have to add those to my wishlist above. These are so great for adding generative textures and overall tape fun. They seem to be open source and I’m going to also request directly to the dev. As they write / read audio clips not so sure how well that can be handled on the MM in V2. Either way whether or not they end up on the MM anyone interested in tape, looping, micro looping… should give them a try on VCV.
They’re great! But they rely on the extensions feature in VCV Rack, which doesn’t yet exist on the MM. Dan has said he would like to add it at some point.
