newbe way to follow along vcv old tutorials #517

Open Ndrocchietto opened 1 year ago

Ndrocchietto commented 1 year ago

There are a lot of tutorials on VCV, while not so many in Cardinal, as there is full compatibility of the files, it could be useful to have a sheet with look up of the fundamentals modules in VCV vs Cardinal, for example Audio-8 <-> Cardinal Host Audio and so on, in this way newbe can use Cardinal from the beginning of their journey

Thank you I would like to do that, till 4 days ago i did not know what was modular synthesis, I am busy reading books and following tutorials on VCV rack along (30 min per day) Maybe i noticed a nice hack that maybe could use? Basically if I follow a tutorial in VCV rack and save, so far I have been always able to open in Cardinal, where they appear with the new names, I guess will this work always? I can write a list starting from there and insert in this post and mantainers could evaluate if is something can go in the documentation? It would be good if we can follow VCV rack docs and then apply the knowledge to Cardinal

The core modules are all converted to Cardinal ones, besides audio16 that cardinal does not have. Same for Fundamental, though we are missing the latest modules addition for those.

For everything else, it all depends if the original patch contains any modules not available in Cardinal. ChronoBlob is an example of something not available here, patches that contain that one will just not load fully.

Yes thanks to come back to me, indeed I found out as well that the same tools used in VCV are also converted, in fact under info i get: VCV fundamentals, thank you again
