Note → CV
Turns notes into gate, pitch and velocity as CV
Open in the synth with a demo patch Open ModularWhat it does
Note → CV is the bridge between pink and teal cables. Every note event becomes three control signals: Gate stays at 1 while the note sounds, Pitch is the pitch relative to C4 at ±1 per octave (exactly what the Pitch inputs of the Drone, Voice and Oscillator expect) and Vel is the velocity from 0 to 1. That lets a sequencer or keyboard drive not just a voice but anything at all: a filter cutoff, a VCA level, a delay time. Glide smooths the pitch changes like portamento.

Parameters
Glide
Try this
- Sequencer → Note → CV, Pitch → Oscillator Pitch: the oscillator plays the sequencer's melody with no Voice.
- Vel → Filter Cutoff: press harder and the note gets brighter, like a real synth.
- Gate → VCA Gain with Noise on the VCA input: every note gets a hiss exactly as long as itself.
