Why RackDroid
Every design choice starts with one question: would this work with a finger on a 6-inch screen? If the answer was no, we redesigned it — not just shrank it.
Same DSP engine, same 66 modules, same .vcv format — built on unmodified upstream v2.6.4 sources.
Not a shrunk-down desktop UI: drag cables with a finger, long-press a knob to type a value, pinch to zoom.
Oboe/AAudio, full-duplex — it plays in real time, not a toy that stutters.
Start with the 66 built-in modules, then add whole packages (Bogaudio, Valley, Befaco…) on the fly, without updating the app.
Supported from Android 10 up: it runs on phones and tablets that aren't brand new anymore.
GPLv3, complete sources in the repository. No account, no paid license, no tracking.
Interface
Sequencer, VCO, VCF, ADSR envelope and mixer — taken from a real device running the app, with the glass toolbar open above the rack.
