Claravox with expression pedal

Post by rickreid » Sat Aug 07, 2021 8:03 pm

I haven't figured out how to get an expression pedal to work properly with the Claravox filter cutoff.

I started digging around in the editor app for iPad and Mac OS. I don't see any controls for routing the CV In to other parameters either.

I did confirm that CV In does work with an external LFO signal. But I have tried two expression pedals to no avail.

Can someone help with either of these topics?

I think I figured out the CV In routing, but still can't get my expression pedals to work. I assume that the Claravox is not outputting voltage on the TRS jack to power a pedal.

After lots of experimentation and random tweaking of the editor app, I found a solution to the expression pedal issue. I had to change the CV In global settings to:

CV In scale = 100%
CV In voltage offset = -5v
CV range = ±5v

The default setting in the app, and presumably in the Claravox straight out of the box, has the CV In voltage offset = 0v.
