Install

Voro is distributed as a single package folder for TouchDesigner. The folder contains the package component, its engine and plugins, the audio and instrument assets, a local install script, and the docs and license files. Keep the folder intact — the operators expect their engine, plugins, and assets to stay together.

  • Windows 10/11 x64, or macOS on Apple Silicon
  • TouchDesigner 2025.32820 or newer
  • Windows only: Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable 2022 x64

CUDA is not required for the audio package.

  1. Unzip the package folder to a stable location (one you will not move often).
  2. From the package root, run install_voro_preview.bat. It registers the package’s local paths with TouchDesigner.
  3. Open your TouchDesigner project.
  4. Import tox/package.tox.
  5. Accept TouchDesigner’s native plugin trust prompt if it appears.
  6. Open OP Create and confirm the Voro operators (the VOP family) are listed.

If you move the package folder later, run install_voro_preview.bat again so TouchDesigner points at the new location.

At a user level, the package includes:

  • the TouchDesigner package component (tox/package.tox)
  • the Voro engine and its TouchDesigner plugins
  • audio samples and instrument assets
  • the DSP authoring SDK (voro_dsp_sdk/) for writing your own operators — see Custom DSP (Faust)
  • a plugins/custom/ folder where authored plugins are dropped
  • package docs and license files

After import, place a simple chain to confirm audio reaches your device:

MIDI Capture -> MIDI Note -> Synth -> Device Out

If the Voro operators do not appear in OP Create, rerun install_voro_preview.bat, reopen TouchDesigner, and import tox/package.tox again.
