4 years ago Also I'm dreaming about the constructor which would allow to add on this (possible) overlayed panel knobs and cable ins\out to even more reduce the width of the strip (to remove all of those controls from the left of typical patch I've talked above). But I'm quite sure this is a bit away from the possible thing to do at all. Just share some thoughts, maybe sometime Rack API would allow to do that...
So Ben since you're the god of absolute hacking (and especially for overlaying purposes now!) I've got another suggestion for you :-) For example I have a strip, and I bring all of controls to the left and the core of the strip (modules that do the job and that mad bunch of connections) to the right. So to start using the strip creatively I don't even wanna see the core modules, all of those lights, cables. I just want to hide them. This feature is also present in Ableton's effect racks and but I think we can't hide modules in VCV at least for now. But with your GLUE overlay engine I think now it's not hard for you (at least if you want to do that of course)) big (or small) blank panel (which can be applied for many of modules we wanna hide under the hood) with ability of resize a width and also with ability to add a label (also it can be resizable text field). It can be a game changer for user with zero coding skills but full of creativity to make their own effects based on existed Rack's modules. And of course the GLUE is already tool for making something own in VCV. Thank you so much for your inventions!
