Installation instructions

NOTE: There are two macOS releases, for x64 (Intel Macs) and arm64 (M1/M2 Macs). Download the plugin that corresponds to the version of
VCV Rack 2.3.0 that you want to use. If you're not sure, you likely have the Intel x64 version -- the VCV Rack mac-arm64 release is
still in beta.

First, delete any previous versions (folders or .zip/.vcvplugin files) of the plugin from the plugins folder within your Rack2 user folder. Then download the .vcvplugin file for your platform from the links below. Place the file in your Rack2/plugins folder, and restart Rack.

The exact user folder location depends on your OS version and cloud-documents integrations, here are some suggestions to find it reliably:

  • MacOS: Finder, Go menu, click Documents > Rack2/plugins
  • Windows: Right-click Explorer on taskbar, click Documents > Rack2/plugins
  • Linux: ~/.Rack2/plugins

Additional info is available in the Rack documentation on installing non-library plugins.

NOTE: For maximum safety, you may also want to export Teletype scenes from your favorite patches before upgrading.

Changelog from v2.0.2-beta to v2.0.3-beta:

  • New connection UI for hardware and virtual grids:
    • Modules remember the last grid they were connected to, even if another module steals it.
    • Click the USB port on a module to reconnect to the last used grid (stealing it back if necessary.)
    • The USB port is filled with a "wireless nub" to skeuomorphically indicate an active grid connection.
    • The USB port widget is MIDI mappable with CCs using VCV MIDI-MAP, or CCs or notes with Stoermelder MIDI-CAT, so you can use a hardware controller (or a sequencer!) to swap a grid between multiple modules.
  • Teletype
    • Added a Theme submenu to the right click menu, with the same color choices and levels as grid LEDs.
    • Added a clarifying message to the screen when Teletype is stopped because the audio engine isn't running.
  • Virtual grids
    • LED levels now use nonlinear scaling to better match perceptual brightness of hardware. This should hopefully make Kria easier to read on the virtual grid.
    • Improved graphics on grid256.
  • Update to Rack 2.3.0 SDK (plug-in will not load on earlier versions.)
  • Fix a potential crash when entering non-numeric values in knob toolips
  • General reliability work, including platform-specific fixes for M1 Macs and various flavors of Linux (#87, #127, #129, #133.)
