My first attempt at releasing my first plugin! I hope all is in order. I'm sure you will let me know if I need to make changes.

Thanks

Hi @DaveBenham, I suggest removing "Modules" from the slug and name property of the manifest, since all Rack plugins contain modules so this is redundant text in the VCV Library.

Also, the license of VCV CV Mix is CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 which does not allow distributing derivative works, so please fix and submit a new commit hash.

[DaveBenham]

Sure, thanks - I will make those changes.

I thought my hidden inclusion of CVMIX was OK, based on communication with support. As you can see, I was trying to be open and proactive about this. I had already formally requested an enhancement to the Fundamental CV MIX with support, along with my plans to release my own variant if the enhancement request was declined. Here is my most recent message to Paul -

Hi Paul

Any word on plans for CV Mix?

I've get a version with my requested changes in my new plugin that you can see at https://github.com/DaveBenham/VenomModules/blob/main/README.md#cvmix

Ignore the garish color - I've got three other themes. For some reason I happen to like the red so it is the default.

Anyway, I prefer that the Fundamental CV Mix get updated (the faceplate changes aren't as important, but I do believe the way I show the 10V normalization is effective). If Andrew makes the knob scaling change (and maybe faceplate change), then I will strip my version from the VenomModulels plugin. But if Andrew does not want to make the change then I will go ahead and publish my version.

I don't need to see the change in the Fundamental plugin to move forward, I would just like to know the plan.

I hope to publish VenomModules within the next couple weeks

Thanks

And here is Paul's response

Hi Dave,

Apologies for the delay in responding. We are still looking into the issue. One option I could see is releasing your module pack without it or with it hidden, and then releasing your version of CV Mix later, or releasing it soon, and then marking it as hidden and/or deprecated later, but that is entirely your call.

Hope this helps, please let us know if you have any further questions.

So I thought all was OK.

Your demand was very clear, and I am in the process of removing my variant of CV MIX. But I am a bit confused now. What would have to change for me to be able to release a similar module? I want to better understand so that I can be the best community member possible.

If you were to enhance Fundamental CV MIX with the knob scaling change, then I would not have any desire to release any form of variant. But even then it would help me understand the rules better if you could describe what changes would make it acceptable, if only from a hypothetical stand point.

Thanks

What would have to change for me to be able to release a similar module?

I'm kinda barging in here, but maybe it's just a matter of renaming and making it look different enough that it doesn't cause confusion with the VCV Rack mixer?

[DaveBenham]

Sounds plausible and reasonable, thanks. But I am hoping for a clear direction from Andrew.

OK - I've changed the slug and plugin name to Venom, as well as removed CVMIX.

I kept the same initial version. Hopefully that is not a problem.

I think it is ready to go!

I've also deleted all the binary beta releases from my GitHub as they contained the CVMIX.

Andrew, hopefully you can answer my question above to help me with my future efforts. Thanks.

Hi Dave, apologies for the confusion. I didn't write that to authorise you to copying CV Mix in a manner that breaches the Creative Commons Licence, I assumed you would be releasing a module that would be based on CV Mix that would be in line with the Licence.

[DaveBenham]

Sorry Paul, it certainly wasn't my intent to violate any terms. I assumed you had seen what I had and were OK with it. Bad assumption on my part. I still would like clarification on what it would take to with that module to be compliant, even if it never gets released.

[pgatt]

I understand Dave.

[DaveBenham]

Last minute bug fix - I had not updated my Rhythm Explorer preset to account for the recent changes. I hope this version can go into the next release. Thanks

[AndrewBelt]

Looks good for VCV Library distribution now!

[cschol]

Your plugin has been integrated and will be available for all supported platforms with the next Plugin Manager update. Please let us know in this issue when a new version is available. We will reopen it. Thank you for providing your plugin to the Rack community.

[DaveBenham]

WooHoo! Exciting news for me - thanks!

Venom version 2.4.0 is ready to be released with new features and a bug fix for Rhythm Explorer, as well as a new Venom Blank module.

I wasn't planning on such a quick turn around for the next release. But the new Rhythm Explorer features are a great companion for the new All Electric Smart Grid plugin, and I wanted to get this out quickly.

Venom version 2.4.1 is ready to be released with support for the VCV "Use dark panels if available" option, as well as new parameter context menu options to set custom defaults.

Being in sync with the VCV version is purely coincidental!

Venom 2.7.0 is ready for release with 5 new polyphonic utility modules, plus a major bug fix for Venom expanders. I hadn't planned on a release for another month or two, but Venom expanders had the potential to crash VCV Rack, so I thought it best to get a fix out ASAP.

For future reference, I have added @cosinekitty (author of the Sapphire plugin) as a collaborator on the Venom project. Don is authorized to submit update requests here using the same source URL (https://github.com/DaveBenham/VenomModules) on my behalf, should he conclude that I am unreachable or otherwise unable to maintain the Venom plugin. This is to ensure development continuity should anything happen to me. Thank you for your attention in this matter.

Venom 2.9.1 is ready for release. It contains some performance improvements for the Benjolin Osc expanders, plus an option to make the Rungler DAC more closely emulate the original Benjolin.
