Gear to be CV/gate sequenced by AF/AK

Ahah…that was funny.
Unfortunately it gives mainly midi >> cv solution.

Anyway…I am off topic so I guess that’s my punishment.

Yep, a pointless endeavour at the moment.
Next batch isn’t due till April, and even then, you will probably need to get yourself on a waiting list if you want to secure one.
A popular module!

Yeah had seen one available - but was gone by the time I had the money, typical! Nvm, am gonna pick up some of the less-exciting-but-necessary bits I need instead for now.

yeah right, why would you think you would be able to get one this month?
…not gonna happen

I’m actually worried I won’t be getting one even in April when we are being told. I guess we will see though.

Just listened to the Braids Heavy Modulation Wavetable Overview…

One VERY important thing about Shruthi and CV:

[li]The CV inputs are scanned at a fairly low rate (close to 50 Hz), and their resolution is 8-bit. This prevents audio-rate modulations, and accurate pitch control.[/li]

It is a deal breaker for a fifth voice, isn’t it?

in this old forum thread http://www.elektron-users.com/index.php?option=com_fireboard&Itemid=2&func=view&catid=9&id=225946

it says:

Here’s my global CV settings…

CV A Config
Type: Gate
Polarity: V-Trig
Level: 5.0 V

CV B Config
Type: Pitch V/Oct
Middle C: +3.00 V
V/Oct: 1.00 V

But I have another setting in my CV B …for a second note … why is that?

The way cv setup is done got changed a few os updates ago, thats all - check out elektrons youtube to see how to setup the cv now.

I remember someone writing something about it being possible to add an additional sixth voice and use the FX track to CV sequence. Am I imagining this? Can someone point me to the thread / video?

TrabanT · 2015-05-04T08:38:56.000Z

track 1-4 = 4 voices

cv1 = 5th voice

cv2 = 6th voice

donato · 2015-05-04T15:06:31.000Z

""TrabanT"":

track 1-4 = 4 voices

cv1 = 5th voice

cv2 = 6th voice

So are you just using the CV track for both the 5th and 6th voices? With one being CV A/B to gate/cv one synth and CV C/D to gate/cv the other?

klerc · 2015-05-04T15:17:36.000Z

Yes.

You need to setup something like:
[ul]
[li]CV A = CV on track FX[/li]
[li]CV B = Gate on track FX[/li]
[li]CV C = CV on track CV[/li]
[li]CV D = Gate on track CV[/li]
[/ul]

yes… what you may overlook: the cv1 out is 1 cable out from the A4 which splits in 2 cable … you still have another cable which is comming out of the a4 from CV2, which then also splits into 2 cable…
in total that makes 4 cables = 2 tracks … shit this is getting confusing… sorry… hands on is the best … just get a Roland SH101 and a Juno, then 2 cv cables and enjoy the ride

This was a pretty good resource for a thread. No idea why the OP sabotaged it by erasing the list and changing the title. Someone should start a new one.

Hi,

I currently have a Minitaur which I like a lot but unfortunately the CV tracking doesn’t work well so I have not put the AK CV track to good use.

I am curious to know what synths people are sequencing using the CV track, specially considering to complement the A4/AK sound. Something moogy seems obvious but I wonder which other synths people use.

Any audio examples of A4/Ak plus another mono synth sequenced by the elektron machine are very welcomed.

[ Moderator note : merged this from here, see other established threads listed regarding this frequently surfacing question] - [ps: no reason the CV tracking won’t work very well if set up right, but it may have a narrow sweet spot, again lots of threads on calibrating]

krautedaniel · 2016-08-30T07:16:13.556Z

CV-tracking on the minitaur works quite well for me, you just need to give it loads of love and attention. Remember to calibrate it in the editor. The volt ranges seem to be varying from unit to unit, but dont worry, you’ll get there in the end.
