I am very excited to share my new beta testing-ready “VCV Rack 2” instrument preset which provides 2-way hardware module parameter control of VCVRack patches and display of rich parameter value feedback using an Electra One Mk II controller. It works together with my new VCVRack RSBATechModules plugin, which also includes an feature-equivalent TouchOSC - based controller preset.
I have been working on this preset and VCVRack plugin since May 2024. @martin has been incredibly supportive and responsive in squashing 3.7 / 4.0 beta firmware bugs I have encountered along the way, and even agreed to add some of my feature suggestions which is awesome. I did intend to wait until the 4.0 version is finally released, but I now think it would be even better for any interested people other than me to try this out before the firmware is completed.
Thanks for the quick reply!
On the settings page of the electra template, should the fileds be highlighed or not?
Do I press Save top E1?
Do I need to restart the Vcv patch or the template?
Thanks for your support!!
The “Double Tap” button should be shown highlighted (with the left-hand vertical bar) - that means the button is in the “on” state. That’s all you need to do. No need to restart the E1 preset or the VCVRack patch. If you want to ensure the same settings are applied the next time the preset is loaded (e.g. after you turn your E1 off and on again) then you can also tap the “SAVE TO E1” button.
Unfortunately you will need to remember to manually change this setting on the app.electra.one page each time you use the VCVRack preset (if you actually want to use the built in double tap action on other E1 presets) … as far as I know, it is not possible for my (or any) preset to programmatically turn that built-in double tap action off.
Hi, unfortunately not with the current Metamodule firmware. I have a MM in my Eurorack case also, and would love to be able to get the same module control as the RSBATechModules plugin provides in VCVRack.
I understand from posts on the MM forum that they might be working on enhanced 2-way midi feedback embedded directly in the MM firmware (for the Rotocontrol). If and when that is released, rest assured I will be digging into that to see if that fills in any of the missing technical gaps.
