| *Core* modules are how Rack interfaces with your computer's audio drivers, external audio interface devices, physical and virtual MIDI devices, and (through *Bridge*) other DAWs. | |||
| *Core* modules are a part of the overall Rack program, and thus do not appear in the [Plugin Manager](https://vcvrack.com/plugins.html). | |||

| 4. [Notes](Core.md#notes) | |||
| The *Core* plugin (built into Rack itself) includes utilities and interfaces for interfacing between virtual and hardware realms. | |||

| Most DAWs avoid this feature entirely by restricting audio to a single input and a single output device for stability reasons, but if using multiple audio devices in Rack works with your configuration, more power to you! | |||
