Cardinal is a free and open-source virtual modular synthesizer plugin. It is based on the popular VCV Rack but with a focus on being a fully self-contained plugin version. Cardinal provides 3 plugin variants - "main", Synth and FX. They are all equivalent in performance and behaviour, with only the IO and metadata that changes. FX and Synth variants both have 2 audio outputs, while "main" has 8. All variants have MIDI input and output support. This package provides the AU, LV2, VST2 and VST3 audio plugins for macOS. Notes: - Due to AU and VST2 not supporting CV ports, the main variant is not available for these formats. - The VST3 version is in progress, already part of the build but still experimental.
