VCV-Host - sending CV for velocity?

Plugins & Modules
1

I use Kontakt in VCVRack via VCV Host.

I’ve tried sending velocity to the Host module but it comes out quiet, even feeding it voltages between 5 and 10 v.

How exactly does VCV Host map velocity? The man page said the range was 0 to 10 volts.

I’m on a train but it seems to work properly

I think I determined the problem:

In general, I always use the Bark S&H/T&H for generating random voltage.

This is because it appears to have exactly the user interface and function I need:

  1. Polyphonic - random outputs has same polyphony as trigger inputs.
  2. Range and offset settings, per channel.

It has drawbacks though. To set the scale & offset of each channel you have to step through all of them. It also seems to just Not Work Right sometimes.

If you set the output to unipolar (i.e. 0..MaxScale volts) it sometimes still has negative CV output.

The output changes with a trigger but it sometimes sounds like it slews between values.

Output channels can “stick” at certain values.

I’ve switched over to using the BogAudio Random. It does what Bark S&H does, only it isn’t as wonky.

The whole Coirt/Bark module appears to be abandonware. Does anyone have contact with the author?
