VCV Rack is the open-source host application for a virtual Eurorack modular synthesizer platform, emulating hardware modules in software with a plugin API for third-party modules. It provides a high-performance C++ audio engine, cross-platform GUI, and a large module library.

Use cases

  • simulate a eurorack modular synthesizer on my computer
  • learn modular synthesis without buying expensive hardware
  • create electronic music with virtual synth modules
  • develop custom synth modules with a plugin API
  • host VST plugins inside a modular environment

When to choose

  • you want a free, realistic Eurorack simulation with a huge module ecosystem
  • you need cross-platform modular synth software with an open plugin API
  • you want to learn modular synthesis at low cost

When to avoid

  • you need a full traditional DAW with linear recording and mixing
  • you require outside code contributions to be accepted upstream
  • you need a fully permissive license - licensing is custom (NOASSERTION)
