Feels weird and cool modulating a vst wavetable position using Rene clocked to the same sequence

Clocking Ableton with Wogglebug as master is fun as well.

where can the final version be downloaded? i’ve only seen it on centercode.

edit: referring specifically to the cv tools pack, not 10.1

#294

Only on centercode, as cvtools is still in beta

just pinging the thread to say the cv tools are surprisingly easy to use and effective, the cv pitch calibration was effortless. highly recommend. going to change so much about my workflow.

What are you using to bring the clock into Ableton? ES-6?

#299

Yep, ES6 with the CV Tools clock input.

I haven’t tested this yet, but I assumed I needed a DC coupled interface to use CV tools…which is mostly true, except you can do some things (like clocking) with AC coupled interfaces. Again, I haven’t tried myself, but - from the docs:

I do not have a DC-coupled interface. Can I still use CV Tools?

Yes, even if you are not a modular user, there are interesting things to get out of CV Tools!

  • The Rotating Rhythm Generator outputs MIDI, and works great with Drum Racks in Live.
  • CV Clock / CV Clock Out / CV Triggers all work without DC-coupled interfaces, since binary events do not generally require exact voltage values.
  • The CV In device has a “Pitch” mode, which converts an oscillator’s pitch to CV in real-time (without the use of a DC-coupled input).
  • If you have a Eurorack MIDI interface, you can achieve similar results by using Live’s External Instrument device.

I’ve got the ES-3 for CV out and I’ve used my regular AC coupled outputs for sending gate out (I can confirm the AC coupled outs work great for outputting clock, no problems there) but it seems I need to test the Clock In as well. I’d love to clock Ableton with the modular but I don’t really want to get an ES-6 since I don’t have space for it.

There’s a 25% on almost everything on Ableton’s website now, guess I’ll finally upgrade to 10!

Thanks for the heads up!! Finally got myself a copy of 10 standard…

Can’t believe I missed this. As a Wacom user it’s always done my head in, especially as M4L worked fine.

Tested - both cv clock in and out work… however, the k-mix is really a pain to configure for clock usage. So, it works, but I really don’t like it. The amount of config is painful, specifically because of the way k-mix works in double duty as soundboard & usb interface. edit: got it to work today using a second usb sound card in aggregate mode via asio4all (i’m on windows). works really well!

Thanking you for pointing that out! I’d been considering getting one for use with my Paca

I finally got a chance to try cv tools today and I was unable to get live to calibrate using my Ultralite.

Did you need to do anything special to get it to connect?

#308

Ah, I hadn’t tried the “calibrate” feature. The pitch tracking was working for the oscillators I was using just out of the box.

I tried just now to “calibrate” with the calibrate button on the CV instrument and it did not work at all. I got an error message about how the CV wasn’t amplified enough --but the actual pitch seems to track great for my purposes even without using the calibration feature. Fwiw, one “special” thing I am using to connect things is TRS to TS cables (from Expert Sleepers).

#309

Thanks. I have the Expert Sleepers cables as well, and am getting the same error message, but the signals aren’t working much or at all.

The cv mod devices barely cause any sign of a wiggle… I wonder if there’s a setting in the Ultralite that I’m overlooking…

#310

it may be because the Motu doesn’t have DC-coupled inputs, just outputs? I’m not sure that is the case but it could be worth checking.

I initially tried to calibrate via an ES-8, with the Oscillator plugged into an RME and got the same error message. I tried again using the ES-8 inputs and everything worked perfectly…

Interesting

I was going into the standard audio inputs, but with a standard line level signal, and the device let me indicate that as the input,so weird…
