*Cardinal, the Rack!*
|

|

**! THIS PROJECT IS A WORK IN PROGRESS !**
|
||||
A virtual Eurorack modular synthesizer platform,
|
||||
available as JACK standalone and LV2, VST2 and VST3 audio plugin for Linux, macOS and Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
This is a [DPF-based](https://github.com/DISTRHO/DPF/) plugin wrapper around [VCV Rack](https://github.com/VCVRack/Rack/),
|
||||
using its code directly instead of forking the project.
|
||||
The target is to have a **proper, self-contained, fully free and open-source plugin version of Rack**.

||||
See [project overview](doc/OVERVIEW.md) document for an overview on how the project source code is structured.

Cardinal contains Rack, some 3rd-party modules and a few internal utilities all in a single binary.
|
||||
It does not load external modules and does not connect to the official Rack library/store.
|
||||
All "Core" modules from Rack have been replaced by Cardinal equivalents, simplified to better work for an audio plugin.

Cardinal does not load external modules and does not connect to the official Rack library/store.
|
||||
All VCV branding has been removed (to the best of our knowledge) in order to avoid any trademark issues.
|
||||
|
||||
Because it is using DPF, Cardinal already supports LV2 and VST2 with an extra JACK standalone mode for some systems.
|
||||
The VST3 version is in progress, already part of the build but still experimental.
