Woodman's Immaculate Maple Syrup Studio has released version 2.7 of WoodSynth, its multi-layer MPE synth. This version adds CV (Control Voltage) out support for external modular or hardware synths.
Up to 8 channels of a connected audio interface can output a CV for:
- The current note (or sequencer note) being played.
- The current note with pitch (pitch wheel, pitch mod, glide, FM modulation).
- The current ADSR.
- LFO 1 & 2.
- The BPM clock.
As WoodSynth has 4 independent layers, this allows to output 4 different notes, 4 different ADSRs and 8 different LFOs. LFO sources can be set to a wavetable yielding non-trivial waveforms inserted in the modular synth. The minimum and maximum CV value notes can be set manually or measured to calibrate the note CV values. AC coupled audio interfaces are also supported by outputting a square wave in stead of a DC value.
