This so-called Clock signal can go into any input of your modular that’s labeled ‘Clock’. Route this track to an output of your audio interface and send this signal to your modular system. Put the audio pulse in a Drum Rack and send out sixteen pulses per bar.

Turn off your speakers or headphones, then download this free audio pulse. You can download it by following the link below but, and this is Very Important: make sure your speakers are off! At high volume, this sound can damage your ears and/or your speakers. A good sound example comes from modular manufacturer Make Noise. This way, your modular understands this as a pulse. Here it’s important that the audio pulse is a very short sound with plenty of volume. If you only want to make sure your modular is synchronized with Ableton, try sending an audio pulse to the system. The Moog Grandmother and Mother 32, Korg MS-20 mini, Make Noise 0-Coast, Behringer Crave, Pittsburgh Modular Microvolt, Arturia MiniBrute and Roland System 1M are just a few examples of this ever-growing niche of relatively affordable synths that allow both hands-on sound patching and control via MIDI. In addition to dedicated MIDI to CV converters, there are a number of semi-modular hardware synths and controllers that have converters built in. YouTuber BoBeats takes you through the functionality of Hexinverter’s Mutant Brain: Depending on the quality of your MIDI-to-CV interface, there can be some latency in your system. The Doepfer A-190-3 and Intellijel µMIDI both have a MIDI and a USB plug so you can connect your computer directly to your Eurorack system.
Most MIDI-to-CV devices feature a single MIDI plug, but there are some devices that sport a USB port as well. Configuring the Mutant Brain has to be done through a web page and SysEx commands. You can control 12 trigger events and can connect 4 continuous CV signals to different parts of your modular. The Hexinverter Mutant Brain for example, has 16 outputs: 4 for CV and 12 for Gate.
Since Gate and CV can only carry one signal per cable, you need a lot of channels if you want to be able to control multiple elements of your modular system. Every MIDI-to-CV Interface works by converting a digital MIDI signal (that can transfer up to sixteen channels of information through one single cable) to analog CV or Gate signals. There are a lot of options available, both as standalone hardware or as Eurorack modules. One of the easiest ways to convert digital MIDI signals to analog Gate and CV signals is via a MIDI-to-CV interface. A Gate signal is a trigger signal, used to control one-off events, like playing back one sound or starting or stopping a sequencer. A CV signal is a continuous signal, used for controlling pitch or modulations like LFO’s and Envelopes, for example. These are analog signals that send voltages to the different modules of your system. MIDI to CVĪ modular synthesizer works with Gate and CV signals. Before we take a closer look at the options, we recommend you check out this article on using external hardware with Ableton Live. All of CV Tools’ other devices require a DC-coupled interface to work correctly.īut not to worry, if you don’t own a DC-coupled interface or don’t have Live 10 Suite, there are other ways to connect your modular system with Ableton Live. For syncing Live to your modular, you can use CV Tools’ Clock and Trigger devices – they work with any audio interface. With CV Tools, included in Ableton Live Suite 10, you can bring the digital and analog worlds together by using the included devices. Ableton and your modular synthesizer can be a great combination.
