miRack is a Eurorack-style modular synthesizer. It aims to provide user experience and audio quality close to those of the real Eurorack hardware.

New version 1.60
Old version 1.51
Release Notes This is the biggest miRack update yet! =MODULES= * NYSTHI - a collection of 100+ modules. Advanced samplers and recorders, oscillators, effects, utilities and a scope - modules for every need, many of which have visual design you won't find anywhere else. * Geodesics - unique modules loosely inspired by astronomic events and physical theories. "The goal is just to see how science can inspire us to create new music." * Turning Machine by Stellare Modular - a random looping sequencer, based on the amazing Music Thing's Turing Machine Eurorack module by Tom Whitwell. * 13 new MSM modules - many of them add interesting new outputs, parameters and modes to standard modules. * Notes (found in the end of Basics list) - add short notes to a patch. It's resizable so can also be used as a spacer between other modules. * cf PLAY and PLAYER samplers - these are simple modules when you don't need advanced functionality. =APP FEATURES= * Added virtual MIDI port option to MIDI modules to simplify MIDI routing into miRack. * Added indication when a module is being or ready to be moved, e.g. after touching and holding for long enough. * More predictable module moving, smoother zooming, and other improvements to touch handling. * Improved rendering of module lights (borders, antialiasing). * Reorganised items in module menus to reduce vertical space they take and to prevent destructive items to be touched accidentally. * Module menus (and context menus for module components that provide them) can be shown with double tap in addition to two-finger touch. =FIXES= * Fixed parameter value smoothing (when adjusting knobs), removes audio artefacts in some cases when adjusting knobs. * Fixed Delete menu item missing for "placeholder" modules (when VCV Rack patches are opened and some modules are not available in miRack). * Fixed wrong module sometimes being added to the rack after double tapping empty space in module browser.
