This is a [DPF-based](https://github.com/DISTRHO/DPF/) plugin wrapper around [VCV Rack](https://github.com/VCVRack/Rack/),
using its code directly instead of forking the project.
The target is to have a proper, self-contained, fully free and open-source plugin version of Rack.
The target is to have a **proper, self-contained, fully free and open-source plugin version of Rack**.
See [project overview](doc/OVERVIEW.md) document for an overview on how the project source code is structured.
Cardinal contains Rack, some 3rd-party modules and a few internal utilities all in a single binary.
It does not load external modules and does not connect to the official Rack library/store.
Because it is using DPF, Cardinal already supports LV2 and VST2 with an extra JACK standalone mode if self-compiled.
A VST3 version is in progress, already part of the build but still experimental.
**The project should be considered in alpha state at the moment.**
## Screenshot
Because people will ask for it. It is, well... Rack.
But a couple of modules background's have their colors flipped, because damn we want proper dark mode!

## License
Cardinal is licensed under GPLv3+, see [LICENSE](LICENSE) for more details.
An overview of the included code and linked submodules can be seen [here](doc/LICENSES.md).

### Restrictions
Being an open-source project, all included 3rd-party modules must be opensource and have a GPLv3+ compatible license.
*GPLv3-only modules are not allowed*.
Special care also needs to be taken with artwork licensing.
Cardinal allows the use of CC-NC because how prevalent it is across many Rack modules, but it should be avoided if possible.
Also, unless the module is really essential, CC-ND will is not allowed.
Dependencies should be kept at a minimum, as otherwise it quickly grows the complexity of the build.
Online access (such as phone-home) is not allowed.
## Why
Cardinal was created first and foremost as a way to have Rack as a **proper open-source audio plugin**.
