This variant provides 2 audio inputs and outputs, but no CV ports.
Plugin type is set as regular "effect".
### Mini
This is a special variant with a very small, hand-picked module selection and limited IO (2 audio ports plus 5 CV).
There are 2 main reasons for this variant to exist:
1. make it easier for users new to the modular world to get a working setup, by only having some of the best possible modules available to choose from
2. hand-pick modules that are simple enough to work reliably in a remote setup
For now the list of selected modules is quite small, intentionally. We will add a few more as the need appears.
All included modules support polyphony, reducing confusion for new users not yet used to mono vs poly approach in Rack/Cardinal.
The 2nd reason (only having simple modules) is needed in order to support DSP/UI separation.
Having this in place means we can run the DSP on a different machine than the UI.
This is particularly interesting for running Cardinal on embed systems, being controlled remotely via a web browser or a native desktop application.
Already doable with LV2 from 23.02 onwards, later on this will be made possible on standalone too.
