MaxMSP to VCV Rack

Laura Papke's icon

Dear Community,

is there an easy way to send out data to VCV Rack? I presume OSC, but I am a bit clueless on how to do that with VCV. Any hints and/or tutorials I can look into?

Thank you!

I think you can load VCV Rack as a VST in Max, and send audio signals to and from it.

Thank you for your tip, but I think that just works with the payed version :/

If control of the rack parameters are meant by "sending data",

then simply send midi messages or OSC messages that are set to control them.

What prevents you from doing that ?

On Max side all it needs is midi channel/type of message

or OSC string

+1 to what Source Audio wrote... try MIDI first(from Max, you should be able to just send to the appropriate midi channel chosen within VCV)... VCV has standard/general MIDI routing modules to help with that.

but here's a video that could help with setting up that particular OSC module, see in the video, around 3 minutes in: they look at the 'Master Config' and check which 'in port' and 'out port' things are sent on, routing OSC should be as simple as setting the 'udpsend' object to the appropriate 'in port':
