Hey everyone, anyone here into VCV Rack or Cardinal ? Or any other similar software like Pure Data for example ?
I’ve really got into it recently, and was wondering if people on Lemmy were interested. Should I post stuff here or start a specific community ?
I’ve seen pictures of VCV/Cardinal on the steam deck, how is it ? Does it work well ?
I’ve also definitely learned a lot more about synthesis since using VCV.
I’m using the akai midimix, the cheapest mixer-type controller basically -> 9 sliders, 24 knobs, 18 or 20 buttons. I have a default patch set up that assigns the faders to an 8 track mixer + Master volume, and then I assign the knobs and buttons to whatever I feel like going along, it’s nearly instant with a module called MIDI-CAT. The midimix is not the best controller obviously, but at 50€ second hand it’s great.
It definitely makes using vcv a lot better, you can really play the patches you make, it’s so much better. I really recommend trying it out.
