VCV/Eurorack with Isadora
-
Is anyone using VCV with OSC and Isadora. I hit a wall with the complexity of my patching projects for audio reactive work and am taking a step back to reassess my approach. I revisited VCV as a possible way to quickly itterate various audio processing methods (audio in from members of the group) and expose some fun controls for audio reactive visuals without having to build things myself. I'm in the process of trying to do up a custom module that will take an audio input, do an fft and split it into bands (4, 8, 16, 32, 64), RMS and a few other things and send it out as osc. This along with the built in CV to OSC in VCV modules seems like it might be a good way to easily itterate not only audio analysis but other controller functions - eg sequencing, triggers with fall off, various wave modulations etc. This + it saves - and will even fade between - complex patch states.
I would be curious to know if anyone else is using VCV or actual hardware racks with Isadora. How are you using the combination?
Isadora 4.0.2, W11 PRO 13700K (in a 4U case), 128GB RAM, 4 Lane M.2 Storage, RTX 3090, Ultraleap Motion 2, Behringer UMC404HD audio interface, Streamdeck XL, Streamdeck+, KorgNano Kontrol2.

There’s more audio capabilities coming with the next release. You’re already in the beta program so you should have access to the new beta and new audio actors. Have you tried working with any of those?
In particular, the new Audio Frequency Bands, Audio Frequency Watcher, and Audio Level Watcher let you do live audio frequency and level analysis without needing to go through the Live Capture system (and thus lets you use as many virtual audio sources and/or mics as you want).
P.S. Anyone else reading this who’s interested in trying out the beta with the new audio actors (which also adds VST3 audio plugin support, a Audio to Text actor, and more) can send in a ticket using the link in my signature below.
