Being critical is not the same as being anti. If you're not allowed to be critical of a subject, then one should question if the subject has any true merit.

If you think that this project makes any money you are completely clueless.

Disingenuous how? it's a factual comparison list. You say it's pointless to compare to VCV Rack Pro where the whole point of the Cardinal project is to create a plugin version. I t…

The core differences are documented here: https://github.com/DISTRHO/Cardinal/blob/main/docs/DIFFERENC...

You can host Cardinal inside of Cardinal inside of ..

Exactly, you said "little set of features" but this is anything but little. You can also use any VST plugin inside of Cardinal using the Carla and Ildaeil modules.

Any proprietary or GPL3.0-only modules would of course not be able to be built into the binary (also bit cheeky to consider those as "missing" since they are fundamentally incompat…

You can read about all the main differences in this document: https://github.com/DISTRHO/Cardinal/blob/main/docs/DIFFERENC... One could argue that a plugin version is more than a m…

Cardinal does not load any external module binaries, the entire plugin is a single static binary. This is done on purpose for stability and resolving symbol conflicts within a sing…

They are not necessarily "virtual analog", they can also just be "digital". Think the Mutable Instruments modules, many of these are based around STM32 microcontrollers. The firmwa…

These are proprietary so how would you include these? Cardinal is based on open-source modules (compatible with GPL3.0-or-later license) that are all compiled into a single static …

You think over 1200 modules is small? Definitely enough for endless hours of modular patching.

What do you mean `trying to GPL VCV`? The Rack 2.0 project was always licensed `GPL3.0-or-later` so we are using it exactly as intended. Cardinal also contains MIT, BSD and CC0 mod…

We are using it to create a self-contained opensource plugin. How does this "undercut" VCV? Their main model is based around having a "limitless" store where users can buy "premium…

He is currently employed by MOD Audio (and is the lead developer for the MOD software stack). For the rest he gets some donations via github/patreon/etc, but not nearly enough to m…

Re 1: Why not create a DPF wrapper for this and have DPF create the ladspa/dssi/vst2/vst3/lv2 for you? -> https://github.com/DISTRHO/DPF

Oh, no. That's just the NON meta repository mirror (because Jonathan removed his repos from the internet). The New-SM repo is hosted here: https://github.com/jackaudio/new-session-…

Maybe rasengan can pull some funds out of his ass to host the server.

NSM is an API to launch and manage JACK audio applications to store connections and program state. NON is the "groupware" DAW project of Jonathan Moore Liles from which NSM origina…

Because I use Linux Pro Audio tools in my studio and daily life and am involved with testing builds, helping with ports, generally messing around (, break stuff), and occasionally …

Rebranding a fork is absolutely normal. not "filing the serial number off". You realize that all git commit history is kept? They are not "scrubbing" Jonathan's work. Do you even k…

Jonathan Moore Liles removed all NON repositories from the internet. Only backups and forks exist.

NSM can potentially be used with JACK on win and macos. It also works with JACK implementation of PipeWire for Linux. I expect Linux audio to converge on PW (unifying alsa, jack, a…

I find RaySession very reliable in my experience so far. And we have an awesome patchbay with grouped ports (stereo patching!)
