[sdiy] Invent this? Audio vs CV

[Michael Zacherl]

In fact any software which can send data to the audio interface can produce CVs this way.
I did so with Max/MSP (in a project where I used it in conjunction w/ Ableton Live) and have been doing so with SuperCollider. 
I mostly do so for augmenting the modular with recorded more complex signals it produced itself.

I didn’t check if this has been mentioned before, in reply to the OPs original question:

>>> I want to be able to record 8 modular level signals at the same time.


When “reading" a synth’s output levels are usually higher than what an audio interface can cope with.
Also, assuming without any closer specification, recording very slow signals would be an issue.

A mixing desk with direct outs could be helpful, but for obvious reasons it’s not DC-coupled.
Also on most on those interfaces with DC-coupled outputs the inputs are AC-only.
etc.

For the first project above I got me the Expert Sleepers modules, which have been proving reliable and a great help.

Which is why many users of their hardware prefer using CV Toolkit instead, which is more straightforward and simple. Icaro just released the new update to CV Toolkit yesterday, and it includes a loopable buffer module for recording audio and CV, so cool!
