How to select bipolar mode for pitch CV - rubberband - 08-23-2023
Hello nerdseq people.
I'm new to the nerdseq (but very much in love, thanks to my upbringing with Amiga computers and trying to build music with 4 channel .mod trackers)
My questions is, how do I configure a nerdseq modular track to output -5 to +5 v/oct voltages for pitch cv? I've been through the v1.27 manual and every menu I could find and haven't had any luck yet. (the manual and website all say you can have either 0-10 or -5-5) Everything outputs 0-10v for v/oct by default on my v1.27 module. I'm working around it at the moment by patching the output into a cascading attenuverter with a -5v offset, but it's not ideal. If I could adjust each track to choose between 0-10v/oct and -5-5v/oct that would be awesome - I have oscillators that expect both for pitch.

You can set all MOD or all CV outputs to either -5/+5V or 0-10V via the Offset switches. It is not possible to choose so for each track.
Oscillators that expect both....so wrong :-)

Try flipping the CV and/or Mod Offset switch to the left.

Got it, thanks! I have no idea how I missed that before. You know, the big and clearly labelled OFFSET on the front of the hardware… lol
This is super helpful, though I think I need to invest in a precision adder anyways.. my favourite qubit oscillator wants -5 to 5 v/Oct and just about everything else I use wants 0-10 v/Oct.
