CabbageRack

#1

I’ve made a start at a VCV Rack interface for Cabbage. Details here. It’s Linux only for the moment, but should be relatively simple to build for Windows and OSX too.

This is obviously a very minimal implementation, and I’ve not yet added export functions to the main Cabbage IDE, but I will do so once I get around to adding more functionality. Please read the notes about usage before trying it out :wink: For anyone using it, I would encourage you to focus on the audio side of things for now, as the GUI sides of things are still a little raw. I have to rewrite everything using the VCV API. It’s a pain and means that there will most likely be some differences between how things look here and how they do in native Cabbage, but it’s a price worth paying I think.

p.s. let’s keep this to the forum for now. Once it’s a little more developed we can start spreading the word.

Hi Rory, tried to build it under windows… Does not work.
It seems that there is a problem with a # define FLOAT_somthing in csound. Mingw 64.mobile-gws-serp is complaining. Vcv rack does not see the Dll once it is built.

#3

Can you pull again? And this time run

make ARCH=win

I’ve updated some code and #ifdef-ed a few things. Hopefull it will do the trick. Btw, if you are using the very latest 6.10 for Windows you shouldn’t be getting an float version error. Might be worth updating just to be sure. I updated the windows package a few weeks ago so it no longer gives these errors. You can copy and paste the output if it continues to fail.

Try this makefile.

# Must follow the format in the Naming section of https://vcvrack.com/manual/PluginDevelopmentTutorial.html
SLUG = CabbageRack

# Must follow the format in the Versioning section of https://vcvrack.com/manual/PluginDevelopmentTutorial.html

# FLAGS will be passed to both the C and C++ compiler

CXXFLAGS += -I $(CSOUND_INCLUDE)
LDFLAGS += $(CSOUND_LIBRARY)

# Add .cpp and .c files to the build

# If RACK_DIR is not defined when calling the Makefile, default to two levels above
RACK_DIR ?= ../..

# Include the VCV Rack plugin Makefile framework

Or just try this one which I just built:
CabbageRackWin.zip (735.0 KB)

#6

hello Rory,
it compiles flawlessly ! Sound is weird… but it makes sound !
New horizons are opening… :slight_smile:

#7

Sound is weird? That’s not good!

#8

i’m getting a failure on linux too
do i need to have cabbage working first? doing a fresh install

#9

i think from my paste i see the error …duh

#10

Did you get it sorted? I pushed some changes through today that should make things run a little faster than before.

#11

yes, i got it to build sounds nice too!
I’ll be updating/ please keep it working with v0.5 for a while longer because v0.6 is not done yet.
While i was doing a fresh install the rtmidi stuff broke because i was installing w/o a sound card [only pulse for now] and it was a little more involved than i had hoped but everything regarding cabbage built easy

:slight_smile:

#12

I’ve no intention of moving to .6 any time soon. I’m happy for people to give it a good test run before doing any updating. :wink:

#13

I’m just about to pushsome changes to the repo, better that you don’t update just yet. I@ll let you know when it’s safe :wink:

#14

Thanks for your patience. Git is now good to go again. I’ve updated everything, fixed a few bugs, added lights and updated the example. I think this is about as far as I will take this for now. The Rack API is rather simple. It would take a lot of time to add more advanced features. If anyone develops any instruments please share the recipes :wink:

#15

Hey
I’m on break for 10 days so if i can help in anyway testing please let me know

#16

on OSX i get this
make: *** No rule to make target /usr/local/include/csound/csound.hpp', needed bybuild/src/Cabbage.cpp.o’. Stop.

i do not have csound headers in /usr/local/include as the installation for csound from the csound site
fails so i have a brew installed version
is there a way to install csound properly on OSX so i get the headers etc. in the proper places?

#17

You need to run

make -f Makefile.osx

I had to create makefiles for each platform.

#18

Btw, there are pre-release builds available here.

#19

Hey Rory, I had no troubles building and loading the module, but I’m getting a pretty terrible graphics lag. It’s very slow to respond, as though there’s a lot of buffering going on for the graphics. Any advice/suggestions to speed up performance ?

#20

Are you using the latest build from the master branch? I thought things were better now than before?
