Ableton has announced CV Tools – a set of 10 creative Max for Live devices for Live 10 Suite that generate or receive Pitch, Control, Clock and Trigger CV. The Pack is currently in public beta testing.
The devices send, receive and modulate CV between modular or other CV-based gear and Ableton Live 10 using a compatible dc-coupled audio interface. Live can act as the tempo leader in this kind of hybrid setup or follow the modular system clock.
The Rotating Rhythm Generator and CV Utility devices also work with MIDI, adding modular-style workflow inside Live or to hardware setups that don’t use CV-based equipment.
CV Tools is being developed by Ableton in collaboration with Skinnerbox.
