# VCV Bridge |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Rack is a standalone DAW-like application and not a VST/AU plugin because of the major limitations of these formats. |
|
|
|
It is common to think of physical modular synthesizers as entire self-contained DAWs, and many people use Rack as a complete DAW to compose music and build patches without other software. |

However, *VCV Bridge* allows audio and MIDI to be transferred between Rack and your DAW through the included VST/AU Bridge plugin. |
|
|
|
Currently VCV Bridge is only a VST/AU effect plugin (Mac and 32/64-bit Windows) for using Rack as a send/return on a DAW track. |
|

|
|
|
|
|
*Note: VSTi/AU instrument plugins, MIDI, and DAW clock transport are coming soon in a later Rack 0.6.x update.* |

The setup order between Rack and your DAW does not matter. |

*Bridge* will send MIDI and receive audio from Rack. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To send audio to Rack, select the Bridge's track under the "Audio To" menu on another track, and optionally select the channel pair (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, or 6/7). |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To record audio from Rack, create a new audio track and select the Bridge's track and optionally the channel pair under the "Audio From" menu. |
|
|
|
Make sure "Monitor" is set to "In" on the Bridge's track to enable audio output even when it is not record-enabled. |
