VCV Rack faithfully emulates proper analog synth equipment, to the extent that some manufacturers of real-world modules have created their own virtual equivalents, so close to the originals that.
Download a free open-source modular synth from VCV. The new software lets users patch together virtual modules in a Rack environment. Similar to Softube’s Modular plugin, users can download extra modules based on popular units such as Mutable Instruments and Befaco. Maybe they’ll introduce the space-inspired Qu-bit Pulsar soon. If you’ve been intrigued by modular synthesis but don’t want to invest just yet, it’s a good way to get to grips with the theories.
If you’re missing the hands-on nature of modular synths, you can hook up your MIDI controller and map to any parameter or simply use your mouse to perform. A DAW-compatible version is coming soon. The original download comes with eight modules to whet your appetite and if you’re thirsty for more, you can download extra modules for free from the VCV website. Who knows, you may end up with a studio like Deadmau5.

The Turing Machine module for VCV Rack is based on the Eurorack original, designed by Music Thing Modular’s Tom Whitwell.
Stellare Modular created software versions of the main module and the two Mk2 expanders: Volts and Pulses.
The Turing Machine is designed to generate random voltages that can be looped and modulated via CV.
The software versions are based on the original schematics of the Mk2 modules.

Link provides a ‘link’ connection within VCV Rack to Lin- enabled applications, like Ableton Live. It will also let you connect two or more VCV rack instances running on different computers, but are on the same WLAN or LAN.
In order to sync perfectly, the developers included an Offset control, so you can compensate for any latency introduced via the Link connection.
The module set also includes a Stellare Modular Blank Panel. The initial release includes binaries for Windows, Mac and Linux and works with VCV Rack 0.5.0.
Pricing and Availability
The Stellare Modular modules are available as free downloads from GitHub. If you use the modules, you’re encouraged to thank the developers with beer money via Paypal.
