I made a dumb VCV Rack module.
This started a while back as a project for an Arduino WiFi for my actual modular synth, but I thought it'd be more fun to share here. It should work with the free version of VCV Rack.
On my Windows system, I installed it by putting the "FinanceRackModule" folder in:
C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Local\Rack2\plugins-win-x64
- Sometimes VCV looks for plugins/modules in the Document folder.
- Sometimes you can drag and drop into VCV directly.If you run a Mac or have some issues, Google away.
90% of the time I spent on this was wrestling with VCV's SDK changes from when I started it a year or so ago so I'm probably not very knowledgeable about troubleshooting manual plugin installation.I wanted to do this for Cardinal initially, but sending HTTP requests out of the program to Yahoo Finance's API wasn't very reliable. Also, this is really stupid so spending more than a few hours on it wasn't really worth it. lol

Hello Benn. This channel explains a lot about Homeland Security etc that isn't secure: https://www.patreon.com/cw/talpiot Pax Silica anybody? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7mdd0f4n8E
Cool idea! I'm on a Mac so I think I'd need to build it from source to create a .dylib library file instead of the Windows .dll. A while back I was working on a demo VR app that would take the viewer on a roller-coaster ride of their stock performance. "Feel the drop in your portfolio's value in your gut!"
Yes this is hilarious and I love it!
Native soil yeast populations around data centers, what do they sound like compared to normal yeast populations? I liked your stock choices, I think I am really going to enjoy your Patreon!
Hi Ben I absolutely am admired by your work, I’ve just joined your patron because I do not have social media as I’ve just deleted everything. I’m looking for a way to make contact with you because I’m a medical scientist; I don’t have a background in IT and know only the basics when it comes to this. I have a Google nest setup outside my home not inside, and I can see the same car doing weird things around my home ie circling it/ sitting there outside of the cam view (but I can see the reflection of the red rear view lights sitting there) and it’s ALWAYS the exact same vehicle. Idk if I’m being stalked, intimidated, but I’m at home, a 33yo female with my 70yo mother, owned home, and our beloved disabled Rhodesian Ridgeback Trixie who you can see in my profile picture who was born missing her front right leg. I’m looking for anyone to reach out to me for help, especially Ben or if anyone can direct him to this message for me. I’m scared to leave the house but I must for work. I’ve got a week off for now. My partner’s just had 3 of his family members pass away so he is 300km away dealing with property and estates so I’m completely alone with my elderly mother and disabled dog. My modem is like probably ten years old and uses the same password it came with from the old service provider we started with but we have bounced across two different providers since then. I’ve tried to tell my partner that we need to upgrade it for security but he doesn’t seem to understand or care. I’m really worried about my safety because of my assets in a known dodgy area that’s only now up and coming. If anyone can please reach out to me, especially Ben, I am more than happy to pay for any advice that will check out my situation and see if anyone else is interfering or whatever because it seems that I can lie in bed for hours with no activity on cam, and then as soon as I get up to go to the toilet- bam - that car is there.
I hope someone has some good advice for you. I would say document everything you can just in case you can actually use it to get the police to help you. Other than that, I don't know. I love having a chain on my door, though. Idk if you have those on all your doors... they aren't perfect, but if someone does something, at least they are forced to leave evidence of entering against your will. Also, I would tell anyone that you know that you legitimately trust that would take you seriously and make a plan to check in with them regularly if possible, especially until your partner returns.
Kia ora from New Zealand. I recently discovered your channel as I'm doing work in a related field to one of your previous videos. I don't often comment, but in this case felt compelled to: you sir are an absolute joy to watch and have undoubtedly changed my life for the better. You have my deepest thanks and utmost respect for the well-researched, finely-crafted, entertaining and educational content you consistently produce and share with the world free of charge, unburdened by financial obligations to sponsors, corporations or third party interests. I've gladly become a Patron and have readily linked, shared and recommended at least one (if not more) of your videos to every person I value in my life. Please don't ever stop, at least until one of us is dead. Unless you want to, of course. Much love from across the oceans - stay safe in these troubled times.
Thank you so much for the consideration 😂👍❤️
I don’t think it’s stupid at all, I think it’s fuckin genius and pretty mind fucked/impressed 😻
I am so glad I subscribed to your patreon. You are a really *human* creator. I like how "stupid" this is. Thank you!
Sorry, feds. I didn't crash the stock market to game the system. I did it 'cause I needed to hear some more BASS.
Two of my favourite things! Music and wallstreet owning themselves (Ok, 3 things - Benn onscreen with animal)
I will mess around with this for sure, thanks for releasing it
Hmm. Another take on sound investment advice.
Could oil prices work?
This post alone is worth my subscription. I may have to increase my contribution, now.
Have you ever read Dirk Gently's holistic detective agency by Douglas Adams? If not you might appreciate the later part of chapter 5 😄
That’s awesome, although macOS VCV version apparently will not load the module. At least no luck for me so far.
Silver graph was 🔥🔥🔥
I need this in a real module! If you really make an Arduino version, will you share the code (and the Gerber files)?
LOL
Ok I'm nerdy enough to just think this is awesome. Perfect example of telling a story with a different mode. I wonder how the aliens from "A Quiet Place" would react to this? ; )
Truly excellent work.
OMG I loved this!!!
I literally just re-watched wolf of wallstreet as you posted this 😂. Its beautiful
Omg this is hilarious and brilliant
I've has this idea before and I'm glad I don't need to be blamed for it existing
Love this idea haha! Stocks music could b a great album tho tbh :D
Reminds me of something Tom Cosm did ages ago with a Max4Live rack. I love the idea of inputting real world data as random seeds.
I love this kind of dumb
HA, I'd been joking about doing this for crypto tracking for years. Amusing somebody finally got to it XD
i had to join the patreon to get this, but maybe i will upgrade later
Stupid projects are the best projects
Things I didn’t know I needed so much!!! 🤙🏻🕊️🍉
This is why we're here. 🤣
We appreciate you. My least favorite was the very last song. It's not low enough.
Lol! You are so awesome
Love it!
How does something so stupid make me so happy?
LOL!
