Thanks Will Try all above ASAP especially using the CV Track setup(never tried that). Thanks.
Tangle output and A4 goes to Sputnik sub-mixer inputs then out to Scarlett Interface to record to Logic to Behringer mixer for monitoring on JBl 4411’s.
Thanks Peter! Works Exactly as you instructed. My mistake was that I did not have a ‘Live’ Track selected (red).
So, that is one Sequencer track sent via CV, how many A4 sequencer tracks can be sent via CV total?

You can use any of the six sequencer tracks on the AF as a source for signals.
What you have to take into account is that there are only 4 signal outputs (A-D) so you can only have, for example,
- two CV/Gate pairs, or
- CV, Gate, a miscellaneous voltage, and clock.
For each of the four outputs, just select which of the 6 sequencer tracks you want to use as the source of the signals.

look at it slightly differently:
You’ve got 4 cv outputs on the A4
- Each output can be configured to be pitch Hz/v, Pirtch V/ocht, control voltage, s-trig or v-trig
- For each of the outputs you can choose by which of the 6 tracks in the sequencer they are triggered: 1, 2, 3, 4, FX or CV track.
This enables you to make a custom configuration, few examples:
Example 1: use a4 as 4chan midi-cv converter; you can sequence on cv-track
send pitch cv from cv A
send gate (v-trig) from cv B
send modwheel (control voltage, assign modwheel to control dial) cv C
send aftertouch (control voltage, assign AT to control dial) cv D
All tracks with source track CV
Example 2
2 synths, sequenced by cv and gate each from cv-channel and fx-channel
CV A : Pitch cv (v/oct) source track cv
CV B: Gate (v-trig) source track cv
CV :C Pitch cv (v/oct) source track fx
CV-D: Gate (v-trig) source track FX

wow, sounds like a lot of options. Lots to experiment with. Thanks.
Sounds good- thanks again. (just received Monomachine, letting it thaw out before plugging in), pumped.
there sure are: it is in my view the most versatile midi-cv converter with advanced sequencer capabilities.
The pitch, gate and clock functions sound quite obvious, but when using “value lin” you can of course control that value/voltage by a number of modulation sources (LFO’s Env’s midi controllers etc) witch are all p-lockable in the sequencer. This could provide your modular with some additional enveloppes or lfo’s
Also a nice feature for modular:
Use CV track to send pich cv to cv A t your modular
Use tracks 1, 2 and 3 to have 3 different gate sequences with gates sent through Cv B, C and D to different parts of your modular.
Finally route the audio from your modular to A4 audio in, and use track 4 to process the audio from your modular (Set osc to “in”)
Happy experimenting!

You can also send the two envelopes and two lfos via the cv/gate outouts to your modular.
Choose CV (Value Lin) as cv type and apply env or lfo to “val”.
For envelopes you’d typically set it to a 0-5V range.
For an lfo, range -5 to 5V, val to 0.
Linear value cv can also be p-locked, have parameter glides applied and can be controlled from macros.

Found out after buying the A4, there is no sequencer MIDI out, but that doesn’t matter to me, I dont use MIDI myself, just send MIDI clock for control of devices, CV is more important for eurorack. I record everything direct Live to 2 tracks in Logic, but want to be able to lock to a DAW eventually and learn Ableton since thats all I’ve heard about as the ‘standard’ for the past 10 years.
Apparently with the latest os update there is; I can’t confirm since I sold my A4 a year ago…

great, then I need to download the new firmware.
did you replace the A4 with anything?
I minimized my setup:
Got rid of a lot of stuff- including my modular and A4- and went back to: Digitakt, BS2, Microfreak and a Behringer TD-3 on the way. (And Live10 with Push2 of course, but I consider that my “studio” in stead of my “Instruments” 
)
Nice. The Behringer TD-3 looks interesting, can’t beat the price. Sold Digitakt and Digitone to get the A4, OT, MdM, MnM. Sold off all my Buchla also, couldn’t justify the cost. Maybe I’ll get Live 10 this year.
Rytm and A4/AK can send midi with the latest firmware.
It basically mirrors the internal sequence, but only note on/off and velocity.
While experimenting with cv on my A4 to eurorack, I am a bit confused about the use of tracks 1-4.
Can I only p-lock parameters on the cv and fx-channels? And are tracks 1-4 solely for trigs?
Pretty much, yes
Cheers, I’ll stop the head scratching then. 
(And if anyone has a good tutorial on how to tune the A4 to an external oscillator, let me know. I am struggling a bit to tune the volt per octave note1/note2 to my Spectraphon.)
