CONTROL VOLTAGE BASICS
WHAT ARE CONTROL VOLTAGES? WHAT DO CONTROL VOLTAGES LOOK LIKE? HOW CAN CV MAKE MY MUSIC BETTER?
VOLTAGE CONTROLLED
CONTROL VOLTAGE (CV) FROM MODULAR SYNTHS AUDIO AND CV CABLES ROUTED BETWEEN MODULES TO CREATE A SOUND

CONTROL VOLTAGE BASICS
ANALOG SIGNAL THAT CHANGES PITCH, LOUDNESS, AND TONE. CV ALSO TRIGGER EVENTS SUCH AS NOTES OR DRUM HITS. AN ACTIVE CONTROL VOLTAGE ROUTING IS CALLED A MODULATION MODULATIONS MUST HAVE A CV SOURCE AND A TARGET

CV MONITOR
CONNECT A CV SOURCE TO A BV512 BAND INPUT TO MONITOR THE CV ACTIVITY BV512 BAND INPUTS RESPOND TO UNIPOLAR VALUES [+] USE A SPIDER CV SPLITTER TO INVERT AND MONITOR NEGATIVE VALUES
