## The [Issue Tracker](https://github.com/VCVRack/Rack/issues?q=is%3Aissue+is%3Aopen+sort%3Aupdated-desc) is the official developer's forum

Bug reports, feature requests, questions, and discussions are welcome on the GitHub Issue Tracker for all repos under the VCVRack organization.
However, please search before posting to avoid duplicates, and limit to one issue per post.

Please vote on feature requests by using the Thumbs Up/Down reaction on the first post.

I rarely accept code contributions to Rack itself, so please notify me in advance if you wish to send a pull request.
