Cardinal is a free and open-source virtual modular synthesizer plugin, available as JACK standalone and AU, LV2, VST2 and VST3 audio plugin for FreeBSD, Linux, macOS and Windows. It is based on the popular VCV Rack but with a focus on being a fully self-contained plugin version.
More specifically, this is a DPF-based plugin wrapper around VCV Rack, using its code directly instead of forking the project, with the target of having a proper, self-contained, fully free and open-source plugin version of Rack. Cardinal contains Rack, some 3rd-party modules and a few internal utilities all in a single binary. All «Core» modules from Rack have been replaced by Cardinal equivalents, simplified to better work for an audio plugin.
