In order to avoid any potential issues I removed the "even a little slightly problematic" modules from Cardinal temporarily, so any new patches done with it now are safe to use from now on (so no modules-were-removed surprises possible)

Meanwhile the core modules, due to VCV branding and CC-ND restriction, are being slowly replaced by Cardinal counterparts.
Still WIP and yeah they look boring, but should be good enough for a first release. Getting things moving is the first step.

@falktx
Will you use the standard vcv UI/skin for the plugins or do you want/need new ones ?

@openmastering The "Core" stuff is all being replaced, by internal Cardinal modules that look like in the screenshot.

Fundamental and a few others from VCV are tricky ones, because artwork is CC-ND (derivatives not allowed) but they contain the VCV logo which is not allowed in derivatives.. 😡

You are interested on making new panels for them? or know someone who can?

@falktx I'd love to design faceplates for synth modules.
Can you please point me to the right way to do it?

@openmastering official guide https://vcvrack.com/manual/Panel

@falktx the fondamental plugins are a good start, right?

@falktx and do you have a look and feel the you'd like?

@openmastering Anything that is dark/grey on the background is quite okay. And yes fundamental would be a great start, just be aware you cannot reuse the existing panels as they are CC-ND.

@openmastering Hey, just so you know, I contacted Andrew (who owns the VCV Fundamental panel designs) about possibly reusing the artwork but with runtime changes for an attempt at being compatible with CC-ND. It is complicated..

But just for you to be aware, it is a very very tiny possibility, but there is one where he says yes and we can use the artwork like that..

If you do a custom design, keep me posted :)
And thanks in advance!

@falktx I'll wait for your update on this then. I started making a few Buttons already though

@openmastering have some news!
but not exactly good news, just what we expected.
to quote Andrew:

> If changing Fundamental's visual design is what you want, perhaps it would be a good idea to take up their offer to design new ones from scratch.

We kinda want to change the design, for the dark mode. To quote him again:

> Unfortunately I can't provide license exceptions for Fundamental's visual design. You will have to determine whether what you do is a license violation
