Cardinal
By DISTRHO
Cardinal packages a virtual modular environment for use in supported plug-in and standalone contexts. It is useful for bringing modular synthesis and processing into a production workflow without depending on the commercial Rack plug-in. Its included module collection is curated and differs from installing arbitrary Rack extensions. Check the project’s format and platform notes for the particular release used.
Save intermediate versions while experimenting, especially before a large routing or parameter change. Keeping the original source alongside a rendered result makes later arrangement and revision much easier.
