VCV Library database

The VCV Library maintainers are responsible for curating Rack plugins into the VCV Library. Anyone is welcome to become a maintainer.

All Rack plugins are welcome assuming they

• are not malware (i.e. harm users’ computer or privacy).
• follow the VCV Plugin Ethics Guidelines.

Adding your plugin to the VCV Library (for open-source plugins)

Create exactly one thread in the Issue Tracker, with a title equal to your plugin slug (or multiple slugs, comma-separated, if you have more than one plugin). In your post, include a URL to your source code. This will be your permanent communication channel with VCV Library maintainers.

A Library maintainer will handle your request and post a comment when updated.

Pushing an update

To inform us of an update to your plugin, make sure to increment "version" in your plugin.json file (e.g. from 1.2.12 to 1.2.13), and push a commit to your repository. Post a comment in your plugin's thread (we will re-open it for you) with

• the new version
• the commit hash (given by git log or git rev-parse HEAD). Please do not just give the name of a branch like master.

A Library maintainer will handle your request and post a comment when updated.

Adding your plugin to the VCV Library (for closed-source freeware and commercial plugins)

Email contact@vcvrack.com to be added to the VCV Library or sold through the VCV Store. You do not need to create a plugin thread.
