Amplified Futures 2.2.0

Fifteen modules for VCV Rack 2.

New in 2.2.0

• Street Grid Clock (12 HP, AF-02) — master clock. RATE 20–300 BPM, SWING, and BROWNOUT: a mains-sag metaphor that only ever slows the grid and always recovers. CLK, /2, /4, /8 and RESET outputs, plus EXT CLK for slaving. At BROWNOUT 0 the timing is bit-identical to a clean clock. The series previously had no clock of its own.
• Sitar Grid (42 HP) — modal string-resonance sequencer. Three independent sequencing brains drive a Karplus-Strong string through a jawari nonlinear bridge, with an 8-voice sympathetic bank, a chikari drone, six ragas, and a JHALA breakdown state machine.
• Swarm Core (18 HP) — bio-acoustic insect sample engine over the InsectSet32 bank, in Specimen and Swarm modes.
• Panel repairs across the range: label collisions resolved; Choke and Swarm Core widened to 18 HP.
• Documentation rebuilt: a wiki page for every module, Rack-rendered screenshots, and a new Installation guide.

Install

The attached .vcvplugin is Windows x64 only. macOS and Linux users should build from source — see Building from Source.

Note the download size: about 248 MB. Nearly all of that is Swarm Core's InsectSet32 sample bank, which ships inside the plugin so the module works out of the box.

Unzip it into your Rack 2 plugins directory. The folder must be named amplified-futures — a mismatched name means the modules never appear, with no error shown. Full instructions and troubleshooting: Installation.
