yay, another one down the rabbit hole.
…make sure to check out the packages from vult, audible instruments, valley, southpole.bidoo. cf. they should keep you occupied a while. (:
Edit: Ah yes, make sure to stop by patchstorage.com …it’s exactly what you would expect from the site’s name. (:
rather than start a thread thought id just ask here, if I use an audio module with the power meter on whenever I select any audio interface it shoots up from anywhere between 1000-1500ms. i’m thinking this is whats causing my problems, anyone else getting this? no other modules open
What kind of “problems”? Not sure if it should be that high, but it’s just a latency that’s produced by VCV rack.
sorry, wrote about it slightly higher up the thread. was getting either no audio or bad crackles and pops. either way now it seems to be normal, getting clear audio and no crackling. looks like it hovers around 1000ms spread between modules for whatever reason. not sure why it started hitting 1500 on the interface alone but it seemed to cause problems. cheers anyway, sorted now somehow
What’s the best way to combine multiple OUTS into an IN? The Unity module?
This was in the early stages of VCVrack, but that’s simply not the case anymore when you keep to the standard way of using it (click some buttons on their website and off you go, docs are there also).
Of course when you want to get the latest, shiny, not even beta stuff or want every module anyone on this world has developed with his not-that-great experience and programming skills, then its very likely to get frustrated.
There exists no “best”, because it depends on what you want to do exactly.
Want to combine audio? Any mixer module will do. Want stereo panning? Want to combining CV signals? Want some weighted combination? Some randomization?
The Unity module is just a starting point. It’s quite basic, but nevertheless also quite useful.
I take your point and I do salute people who are enjoying it. I even occasionally watch VCV related videos on YouTube to see what people are doing.
I simply found the entire experience off-putting despite the universal acclaim I was hearing… I don’t mean any disrespect, just had such an opposite reaction.
Was trying to understand the accents of the default sequencer and how to route them to a single destination.
Maybe it’s because I’ve only gotten into VCVRack now that it’s been in the wild for a while, but I simply googled VCVRack, downloaded the Mac OS installer and everything worked just fine.
It’s an amazing tool, but if it doesn’t work for you, then just pick up a hammer instead. shrug
Bummer that you’ve had issues.

What’s the best way to combine multiple OUTS into an IN? The Unity module?
You wanna use a multiple. There are tons of modules capable of combining several signal streams, the most simple and beginner friendly would be the multiple from Audible Instruments, I still use that a lot. No attenuation, just plain adding voltages, in different ways. (
I think you replied to the wrong post here. I’m quite aware about what’s what in VCVrack 
BTW: a multiple (per se) is the wrong type of functionality/module when you want to combine multiple input into one output. The functionality of combining multiple inputs to a single output is called “adder” or “mixer”.
Links of Mutable Instruments is somewhat special, because it supplies adder/mixer and multiple functionalities.
