Ableton has announced the release of CV Tools, a collection of devices that allow you to control and interact with your modular gear with Live 10 Suite.

Ableton CV Tools

The Pack lets you generate or receive Pitch, Control, Clock and Trigger CV.

Now musicians can interface their modular or other CV-based gear and Ableton Live 10 using a compatible dc-coupled audio interface.

For those who don’t own modular equipment, the Rotating Rhythm Generator and CV Utility devices also work with MIDI, adding modular-style workflow inside Live or to hardware setups.

CV Tools includes:

  • CV Instrument: Allows control of modular gear with MIDI. Features flexible modulation and voicing options, as well as cent-accurate tuning for oscillators.
  • CV triggers: Allows musicians to sequence their modular drum modules from inside Live.
  • CV Utility: Allows musicians to control their modular gear with automation curves from Live. It is also possible to add, multiply and shift control signals together and process control voltages like audio.
  • CV Clock In: Allows control of Live’s tempo from Eurorack modules.
  • CV Clock Out: Sends CV clock out to sync modular gear with Live.
  • CV In: Allows signals received from modular gear to modulate parameters in Live.
  • CV Shaper: A device for creating flexible CV shapes in Live that are then sent to a modular rig.
  • CV Envelope Follower: Uses audio signals inside Live to control modular gear.
  • CV LFO: Acts as an additional LFO source for modular systems.
  • Rotating Rhythm Generator: A modular-style beat and polyrhythm generator. This device also sends MIDI for use with Drum Racks or other external equipment with a MIDI input.

CV Tools is free for all owners of Live 10 Suite running 10.1 or above and owners of Ableton Live 10 Standard and Max for Live. The Pack can be downloaded from the Live Browser under Available Packs. Users can also download CV Tools from their account page.

Ableton Live 10 Suite is available for purchase and upgrade at local retailers and from Ableton.com.
