The Multiplier Panel

Multiplier Module

for VCV Rack, Ⓒ Sm@rTAZZ Studio, developed by Marinko Laban

Last updated May 23rd, 2024. This manual is valid for the 2.2.0 release of the module. Older releases may not support everything stated here.

Introduction

The Multiplier is my first attempt to write a VCV Rack module, and it is therefore extremely simple in its design and working. It simply replicates an input signal to 4 outputs. It would make sense to have this as a hardware Eurorack module, so you can send a signal to multiple other modules. Since VCV Rack supports doing that by connecting multiple cables to the same output, it does not make a lot of sense as a software module. However, it can be useful sometimes to have a more tidy lay-out of your patch.

The reasons for starting this plugin, and a series of other plugins, are:

  • I want to gain experience in the C++ programming language. C++ appears to be the mainstream DSP programming language and this is a good-sized set of programs to sink my teeth in.
  • I love synths and guitar and anything around music making and recording. Just as a hobby, as I have no professional education in this field.

Manual

There is no real manual, as this plugin is extremely simple. One input, four outputs, replicating the input... nevertheless, you can find a short tutorial below:
