3.4 Control voltaGe (Cv)

SoftStep3 has 2 CV Outs that send control voltage signals to control modular synthesizers and other analog gear�

MappinG Midi to Cv

Congure the SoftStep3 to send CV out from various sources with

the controls at the right side of the Main Window of the Editor

software�

note Mode

Set the CV Out response to NOTE messages received at the

SoftStep CV Out port

• Gate = 5V for Note On, 0V when all notes are released

• Pitch = 0-5V scaled to IV/Oct

• Velocity = 0-5V representing the velocity value of the

note

• Disabled - all Note On/Off messages are ignored

All notes off (CC#123) and transport STOP messages will turn

all gates off�

Control MSG

Control the CV out with MIDI messages received at the SoftStep CV Out port�

• Pitch Bend - values from key modlines are scaled up from 0-127 to the 12bit CV DAC� USB

messages are scaled down from 14bits�

• Mod Wheel - CC#1 vales are scaled up from 0-127 to the 12bit CV DAC

• Aftertouch - Channel pressure is scaled up from 0-127 to the 12bit CV DAC

• Disabled - all of the above messages are ignored

Midi Channel

The CV responds to key modline and/or USB messages sent on this channel�
