Ableton Forum

When I use the CV Instrument in Ableton 12 I am able to successfully send a Gate signal to my Roland SH-2, but it does not respond correctly to CV pitch data. I am using an RME UFX III with DC coupled output and 1/4" cables to connect the two pieces of hardware.

What happens is, if I increase the output signal of the CV out on my audio interface to the CV in on my SH-2, the pitch will go higher and if I lower the audio signal the pitch goes lower - however, it doesn't track when I try to play it on my keyboard controller, it just plays the same not across the entire range. Hopefully this makes sense.

any help or insight would be greatly appreciated!

Assuming you're running out to Eurorack, you either need to get one of Expert Sleepers "floating ring" 1/4" TRS to 1/8" TS cables, or something like a Male 1/4" TRS to Dual Female 1/4" TS adapter and only come out of one of the female sides.

thanks for the input, but I"m not going into Eurorack, but a Roland SH-2 from 1981. It's a simple synth with only 1/4" for both CV and gate:

Then you need a 1/4" TRS to 1/4" TS cable to make that work.

thanks so much for the suggestion. I'll give it a go and report back if it worked.
