Instructions for using extractPatchlets

extractPatchlets takes a v1-compatible .vcv patch and splits it into multiple patchlets.

  • When prompted, enter the name of the original patch.

  • Do not include a .vcv extension.

  • Include the full path of the .vcv file if it is different from the current working directory.

  • There will be one patchlet for each row in the original patch.

  • Each patchlet will contain all the modules in the corresponding row of the original patch.

  • Any cables connecting modules in the same row will remain connected in the patchlet. Others will be discarded.

  • Patchlets will be created in the current working directory.

  • Patchlets will have the same name as the original patch, but with a suffix corresponding to the row in the original patch.

  • The original patch will be unchanged.

  • Example: If the original patch is named "X.vcv" and has 3 rows, then extractPatchlets will create 3 patchlets named "X_0.vcv", "X_1.vcv" and "X_2.vcv".

Instructions for using combinePatchlets

combinePatchlets takes multiple v1-compatible patchlets and combines them to make a new patch.

  • When prompted, enter the name of the new patch to be created.

  • Do not include a .vcv extension.

  • When prompted, enter the name of the patchlets to be combined.

  • Include the full path if it is different from the current working directory.

  • Do not include .vcv extensions.

  • Hit [Enter] to finish entering patchlets.

  • The patchlets will be comnbined into a single patch, one on each row of the new patch.

  • The new patch will be created in the current working directory.

  • There will be no cable connections between rows, but cables connecting modules within each patchlet will remain connected.

  • The same patchlet can be entered multiple times.

  • Important: Do NOT enter more than one patchlet containing the Core Audio-8 or Audio-16 modules. VCV Rack will crash if you try to open the combined patch.
