I’m looking for a DC coupled interface that I can use with my iPad and my modular via cv tools. Can anyone here recommend one?
Looking for something inexpensive with as many outputs as possible. Those two probably contradict… any help is appreciated!
Please stay safe and healthy!
Look at older Motu stuff. You can get great interfaces from yesteryear for dirt cheap. I have the Ultralite 4, and I love it. Works great with Cv Tools, VCV Rack, and Silent Way. Only thing you cant do is bring cv back in. You’ll need a expert sleepers euro module for that.
I have a motu 8A. I only use 2 outs for audio, which leaves me 6 for cv. Those outs are balanced, so I also get 6 inverted copies which is occasionally useful. Not sure if this would be considered a cheap option. But for me it was, since I already had it for audio, so the cv outs feel like a free bonus.
Same here with MOTU ULTRALITE Mk3.
DC coupled though I never used it as such.
If memory serves, the Presonus Studio USB © interfaces have DC coupled outputs as well.
Yes, they do. I own the studio 1810 and works well…I wish I had gone for the 1824 though, the 1810 only has adat in. On the 1824 you can use expert sleepers es3/es6 for extra dc coupled in/outs vía adat
The Komplete Audio 6 also has DC coupled outputs, don´t know if that´s enough outputs for you.

What was the V/O on that. I cant remeber but I think the out is only 2v as opposed to the 5 on Motu. I could be wrong, but I had looked into buying that before I settled on the Motu.
From the specs on the page I linked:
Limited to +/-2V range due to the AUDIO 6 being USB powered
I never thought about using balanced outs twice! Makes perfect sense.
Thanks to all! Going to grab a cheap used Ultralite MK3 Hybrid.
I may be wrong, but I don’t think the mk3 is class compliant.
Worth checking if you want to use with your iPad.
Thank you, and no, it isn’t. After weighing my options, I decided I’d rather have more modulation options with cv tools over recording into the iPad.
I was literally about to ask when RME would go DC coupled
For those that already have an interface with ADAT or MADI, the Ferrofish Pulse 16 CV series is also an option…
Sorry for bringing this back to life, but A DC coupled interface connected via ADAT to the push 3 should mean that I can send CV out from it right? Never had a DC coupled interface and I’d really like to use CV tools.
