ChowDSP modules for VCV Rack

Morning 👋

Jatin Chowdhury is an audio signal processing engineer

Things I'm doing:

• Creating audio effect plugins as Chowdhury-DSP, including ChowTapeModel, BYOD, and ChowMatrix.
• Doing audio signal processing research, and writing about it.
• Doing practical research on virtual analog circuit modelling, particularly Wave Digital Filters.
• Maintaining RTNeural, a neural network inferencing engine for realtime applications.
• Contributing to the Surge Synthesizer Team.
• Writing low-level and high-level C++ code.
• Making music!

chowdsp-vcv's Issues

LV2 ports?

As LV2 supports CV ports (example project), might you at some point be up for porting these for use in LV2 hosts?

Request: stereo-version of the chouw-tape-modules in VCV Rack

Hello,

thank you for the Chow-Tape-modules for VCV Rack. I use them as a send-effect and sometimes just before the output-module (recording and/or audio).

It would be nice to have a stereo-version of the modules. And the plugin-version is more advance than the VCV-modules. Your plugin is a dream in a DAW. I would apprechiate the functionality of the plugin in VCV, too.

I had a look at the plugin-manual and the documented signal-flow. I built a signal chain in VCV Rack hoping to match the main idea of the plugin-signal-flow (screenshot attached).

Do you have any suggestions to optimize the module-order?

Thank you again for the modules.

Have a nice day.

heat & width tags on knob hover are switched on Warp

heat knob on hover states width, and vice versa for width

Chorus module broken

Specifically when setting the VCV sample rate to 22.05KHz, it seems to always glitch up and stop working.
The output of both L and R is 0, yet light indicates yellow level. Changing the sample rate will not fix the module and I have tested this effect in multiple projects and two different computers.

If anything, a heads up that this module only works on certain sample rates would have been nice.

Chow RNN crashes plug-in host when used inside Cardinal

Cardinal is a new self-contained plug-in based on VCV Rack and it comes with ChowDSP modules.

https://github.com/DISTRHO/Cardinal

I've tested a few of these and they worked, but the RNN module crashes my host (Carla and Ardour alike) when hitting the "Randomize" button. I can see the button's rotation changing for 1 frame and then it's gone.

I tested both LV2 and VST3 builds of Cardinal.

@falkTX Would probably know more about what could be going on that is unique to Cardinal.

Credit: few more options

Hi Jatin:)

Could you please add a couple more options for saving in the context menu, like:

• only plugin name (without modules name)

• all saved text in caps

• order list alphabetical based on the first characters

• order list based on plugin brand name

(maybe these last 2 will do the same now that I think about it)

This would save me a lot of time later on while doing text edits 😃

Thanks 🙏🏼

Artwork license question

Just a quick question, as I don't see it mentioned anywhere.
Your project is licensed under GPL-3.0-or-later, but does that include the graphics too? Or are those supposed to be in a different license?

The readme briefly mentions "Module design assisted by Margus Mets" but nothing else regarding licensing of the panels and artwork.

Thanks!

Module: Credits

Hi Jatin,
do you have a link to the nightly that includes module: Credits?

I tried to build it from source, but both make -j4 & make install , didn't work for me.
Weird, cause earlier i could build it with make -j4

Typo in authorEmail in plugin.json

[email protected] should likely be changed to [email protected]. It appears correct in the Agave plugin.

love your modules btw!!

v2: References to custom fonts stored across frames

Your plugin stores references to custom fonts across frames. This leads to crashes in the VST when reloading a project.

For example (but there might be others):

WarpWidget(Warp* module) {
[...]
 modeLabel->font = APP->window->loadFont(asset::plugin(pluginInstance, "res/fonts/RobotoCondensed-Bold.ttf"));
[...]

Please see the following link on how to resolve this issue and re-submit to the Library:

VCV Rack keep asking to update yours modules

Check you json files since there is problem in the updating of your modules...

Chow Tape builds fine but with warning

Hi Jatin,

so i successfully build the plugin from source clone.
OS: Windows 10/64

I did get a warning during the make procedure:
$ make -j4 g++ -std=c++11 -Wsuggest-override -fPIC -I../../include -I../../dep/include -MMD -MP -g -O3 -march=nocona -funsafe-math-optimizations -Wall -Wextra -Wno-unused-parameter -DARCH_WIN -D_USE_MATH_DEFINES -c -o build/src/ChowTape.cpp.o src/ChowTape.cpp g++ -std=c++11 -Wsuggest-override -fPIC -I../../include -I../../dep/include -MMD -MP -g -O3 -march=nocona -funsafe-math-optimizations -Wall -Wextra -Wno-unused-parameter -DARCH_WIN -D_USE_MATH_DEFINES -c -o build/src/HysteresisProcessing.cpp.o src/HysteresisProcessing.cpp g++ -std=c++11 -Wsuggest-override -fPIC -I../../include -I../../dep/include -MMD -MP -g -O3 -march=nocona -funsafe-math-optimizations -Wall -Wextra -Wno-unused-parameter -DARCH_WIN -D_USE_MATH_DEFINES -c -o build/src/plugin.cpp.o src/plugin.cpp In file included from src/ChowTape.cpp:2: src/HysteresisProcessing.h:69:19: warning: inline function 'double HysteresisProcessing::NR(double, double)' used but never defined 69 | inline double NR (double H, double H_d) noexcept; | ^~ g++ -o plugin.dll build/src/ChowTape.cpp.o build/src/plugin.cpp.o build/src/HysteresisProcessing.cpp.o -shared -L../.. -lRack

Other then that the plugin builds fine, and the module loads and works in VCV Rack :)
