A VCV Rack Plugin.
This Plugin includes the following modules:
- Orestes-One
Orestes-One is a VCV Rack module to control modules and parameters in a rack with the Electra-One MIDI controller. It works together with a specific Electra-One preset to provide two-way control and parameter feedback using smooth 14bit value changes.
Functionally, Orestes-One is basically (MIDI-CAT minus MIDI CC7 & MIDI notes) + (Oscelot minus OSC) + bi-directional Electra-One SysEx + some of my own ideas
- Control individual rack module parameters with rich value and control label feedback on the Electra-One screen
- Smooth 14-bit MIDI sysex controller changes
- Manual parameter mapping (from MIDI-CAT)
- Navigate between the mapped modules in the current VCVRack patch using Electra-One's touch screen
- Automap a single module
- Automap all modules in a rack in one go, optionally skipping or overwriting existing module mappings
- Mouse-free rack module selection and navigation using Electra One
- Special support designed for MindMeld PatchMaster modules in a rack, allowing switching between a single rack-level mapping and individual module mappings.
- Create and manage re-usable module-specific mappings stored in a module mapping library file
- Export and import module mappings, so they can be shared and curated by the user community (there are over 3000 modules to be mapped after all!)
- Factory - provided module mappings included
Plus most MIDI-CAT features (up to v2.0.beta4)
Please see the Wiki for the Orestes-One and Electra-One preset user guide.
Please see the Change Log.
Until this plugin is made available in the VCV Rack library, download the latest RSBATechModules installer for your platform from the releases list in this git repository, and copy the extracted .vcvrackplugin file into the Rack2 modules folder for your machine's architecture e.g. plugins-mac-arm64. Restart VCV rack and it should unpack and install the module.
To build the plugin, download and unzip the VCVRack SDK for your machine's architecture and target VCVRack version.
Then run (change path to SDK folder):
RACK_DIR=~/Projects/Rack-SDK-arm64 make install
If everything goes OK, a new .vcvplugin file is created in your installed VCVRack Rack2 folder. Now just stop and start VCVRack and the plugin will load its modules.
You can open a terminal window and view the VCVRack log to help debug any issues
cd <path to rack2 folder>
tail -f log.txt
