Hello. Hopefully somebody can help me. I want to send just Gates or Trigs to my Ableton. In combination with V/Oct it works already. So what can I do, or maybe what Modul do I need, to do this. I am pretty shure it has something to do, with midi needs note on/off. Thank you
I wonder if that is even possible, because any Note-on or Note-off command contains a note number. It’s just how MIDI works.
Welcome…
Modular does not really distinguish much between control or audio signals. Both use a range of roughly 10 Volt, generally representing unipolar (0 - 10) or bipolar (-5 to +5). So…an audio signal might be enough. But the outside world may expect certain values/formats.
VCV Rack can interface with the outside world. There are some I/O options in the Fundamental (Core) modules.
Hello. Thanks for your answers. I use the CV-Midi Modul and I receive already a Signal in my Ableton. Actually I have 2 problems.:
- I realize that my Midi Notes in Ableton (from VCV Rack) are (I guess) to early. Audio In Ableton is perfect in sync.
- If I want to use only Trigger Signals from VCV Rack to Ableton, how can I do that?
I am familiar with 5V, 10V, -5 to +5V … used from my “regular” Modular System.
Thank you Best Dirk
Welcome Dirk. Maybe try to describe what you are trying to do. Ableton will need a Note-On / Note-Off Midi Message (with a specific note value) for everything, so I am wondering what you want with just a trigger. This concept of separate triggers and V/Oct exists only in the modular world (well, let’s say: not in the midi world).
If you want to sequence a drum track for example you could use the VCV CV-GATE module, which translates a trigger from VCV into a specific Midi-Note on/off Signal for Ableton.
Hello. What I want to do is, program a gate Sequenz in the vcv rack and send it via the cv-midi Modul from vcv rack to Ableton (for example a drum rack, or just record in a midi clip). What I need now is a Modul in vcv rack that generates, from the sequencers trig signals simple notes (for example just c3s), that I can then patch booth signals (trig and v/oct) in the cv to midi Modul. Thank you
Don’t use CV-MIDI - use CV-GATE. There you can set the note of each trigger you connect to it.
Thank you. No it’s working
