No, he didn't. Somebody else did. I think you just caught his reply to that other person.
BTW, what you are describing sounds a lot like the Metamodule feature in Sunvox, yet another modular app.
Honestly, if you're only interested in polysynths, there's no need to look at miRack. There are so many excellent polysynth apps to choose from already.

This is the post I was referencing (7th post down from top of page 71 of this thread).

Ah, but that was in response to this post - all I'm saying is the dev is not the person who brought polyphony into the conversation:

Great update, this app is a now a major force, look forward to exploring the sequencers with midi out.
This is not me, but here's somebody's test of miRack to real Eurorack integration, using Expert Sleepers module(s). Not the most exciting demo musically but does demonstrate functionality
this update is great. are there any module that can change the pitch of the midi note going out of miRack to other apps? i’d love to modulate that
That video is @bobbfett He posted earlier. Pure magic.
I’m sure there are better ways but here’s one way to create a big one-finger chord (assuming you like C and G, other notes can be interesting). It uses the Submarine SS-212 for the third and fifth and the Submarine SS-221 for the lower octave.
Topograph and µGraph are very handy with midi out. Here shown driving Ruismaker:
And with Music Thing Turing machine driving Bassalicious 2 for a bass line:
agh very cool. does seem like a lot of stuff to setup, but i’ll give it a whirl. thanks for the screenshots. that helps alot
Thanks @wim will check those out
Amazing! Thank you @mifki !
I know I shouldn't be surprised that we can pass CV between instances of miRack, since it's just virtual voltages, like audio.
And yet it's still quite surprising.
With multiple ins and outs this could get very weird (note to self: try this in apeMatrix). Not sure of the utility, except perhaps that you could break complex patches into separate components and still have access to CV that can vary from static to audio rate. MIDI out is a fantastic addition, but you can't get audio-rate modulation happening the way.
Oh, and using GlitchCore to cut up CV is weird, possibly pointless, but fun....
@mifki One minor request: both AUM and apeMatrix list multiple ins and outs as stereo pairs rather than individual channels. Would it be possible to have an alternate skin for the input and output modules that lists channels as 1-8 left and right pairs rather then 16 discrete channels? Really minor, but there's that second of cognitive dissonance when trying to do complex routings.
So, as I mentioned on Twitter, I've found a way to make miRack work in macOS DAWs that don't support v3 Audio Units (Ableton, FL Studio, etc.). Still 10.15+ only though. Anyone wants to test?
I'd love to test on 10.14 ... sorry.
Yes please
Definitely. I have FL Studio, Live Lite, and GarageBand which aren’t working with MiRack currently.
GarageBand should already work.
Anyway, here's a package - http://assets.mifki.com/mirack/miRackLegacyAU-0.92.pkg You should have miRack installed from the Mac App Store (confirm that it's showing in a DAW even if it can't be loaded), then install this package and there will be miRack Legacy and miRack FX Legacy AUs.
Wow, midi out!
Does anyone know if it can be used with CV.OCD?
I tried it in Ableton 10.1 on MacOS 11.0 and besides the fact that you cannot resize the app window like the AUv3 it works fine !! Thank you !
Great idea re: virtual CV @aplourde. Need to try that.
Why not!!???
GarageBand wasn't working for me with the previous versions. If I deleted the app and reinstalled, it would work once, but not on subsequent GarageBand loads. Tested many times over.
But! This new build is working perfectly in Live Lite 10, FL Studio, and GarageBand! This is outstanding.
Multi-Out isn't working, but I expected that. That would be pretty cool to have though. FL Studio handles multi-out plugins this nicely in its mixer. I haven't tested miRack as an FX yet. Off to do that now and will report if I find any problems.
Window resize would be nice if it can be done too, but not really a problem if not.
[edit - all good with the FX plugin too. 👍🏼]
An improvisation featuring Marbles set to Raag Shri. Made sure to record it in the evening - supposedly that’s the ideal time to use this raag. Marbles is generating all the rhythm and pitch signals Plaits is used to play the base rhythm and pitches. Another Plaits is used to play the multiples of the base rhythm. A Rings is used to play divisions of the rhythm (I think).
For some reason I had to manually tune Rings via the Frequency knob, because it seemed to like playing a whole step up from the two Plaits modules.
@mifki question for you - The physical Marbles module has alternative operations that are activated by holding the buttons labeled E, N, O and J on the online manual, on the Mutable Instruments website. Is there support for this functionality in miRack? Somebody asked me about these button hold functions after he said he tried them.
Probably pointless, but interesting exercise! Tried using other effects to process the CV, but most are tuned for audio, adding harmonics, possibly filtering out DC offsets, etc. so the results are pretty much useless. I wonder if you can pass this virtual CV to Drambo? (I don't have it yet)
@mifki - small bug in the Mac standalone: if play isn't running in the toolbar some buttons and knobs stop responding. Pressing Play, then stopping an internal clock is a workaround.
This pause button pauses the engine completely, and it causes problems with some module controls. There's not much I can do - there's no global clock or transport to control with this button instead of pausing the engine.
OK, it's not a problem as there's an easy workaround. Thanks for the response.
We can already do a lot of this within mirack, but...
Try running an envelope through a LPF (or other filter types). When the resonance is turned up the envelope warbles/buzzes at the cutoff and this decays depending on the amount of resonance and how much the env (or other CV) excites the filter. A compressor can sort of add extra stages to the env when it crosses the threshold. Waveshapers can be fun and granular processors can be fun too if the grain size can be set big enough.
The key for any processing is that low (CV) frequencies are allowed to pass. What makes this kind of stuff interesting is if the controls happen to act (and interact) in ways that are not necessarily straightforward but musical nevertheless.
@mifki or anyone,
Any response yet to these questions about the Marbles module?
