Rack 2 (Virtual Eurorack)
Some context from a third party VCV Rack plugin developer:<p>&gt; The last straw concerned the policy about taking over inactive modules. About making it possible by default for someone to take over my very name, Aria Salvatrice, and releasing their own fork of my software under my name.<p>&gt; That’s right: if I’m inactive for just one short little month, someone else can just go ahead and release software under my name, my name as a person, with no process in place for me to reclaim it later, even if their releases have low quality standards, even if they add ill-conceived features that work against my long-term plans.<p>&gt; It would be easier to continue my work if there existed a healthier fork to migrate to, but VCV has been trying to prevent forks both through legal and social means, so there’s no viable fork yet.<p>&gt; There’s MiRack[0][1], a fork of VCV for Mac OS and iPhone. Any mention of it within the VCV community is immediately deleted, and its author is banned, so it exists completely disconnected from the VCV community, despite offering a smaller selection of the same modules with mobile support, which is something the community really wanted badly. Being only for Apple devices makes it impractical for me to use, so moving my development to it isn’t an option, unfortunately, if it were on PC I might have done that.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;aria.dog&#x2F;barks&#x2F;why-i-will-never-create-modules-for-vcv-rack-anymore&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;aria.dog&#x2F;barks&#x2F;why-i-will-never-create-modules-for-v...</a><p>Discussed on HN:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=27032669" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=27032669</a><p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mirack.app&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;mirack.app&#x2F;</a><p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;miRackModular" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;miRackModular</a>
