Overview

VCV Rack is a free and open-source virtual modular synthesizer that emulates a Eurorack-style modular system in software. Users patch together software modules with virtual cables to build custom synthesizers and signal chains.

It is aimed at modular synthesis enthusiasts and experimental producers, and runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux as a standalone app (with a paid Pro version that also runs as a plugin).

  • Patchable virtual modular environment with virtual cables
  • Polyphonic cables and multi-voice polyphony
  • Large ecosystem of free and paid third-party modules
  • MIDI mapping and external hardware integration
  • Total patch recall and preset sharing
  • Free, open-source core with an optional paid Pro plugin version
