The idea of combining modern software sequencers with analog synths, using control voltages, to create best-of-both-worlds systems is getting more attention as both analog gear and software become more affordable.

Here, DJ Not So Much demonstrates how to use Ableton Live to control a Moog Slim Phatty via the control voltage inputs.

Details below and at the DJNotSoMuch site.

Seeing the Slim Phatty retaining CV (control voltage) inputs I wondered how well line level voltage would work as a control source. The answer:

Pretty Damn Well!

This is a tutorial/demo on how I pulled this off and everything you need to know! The Moog (notes) are controlled via the MPK25 but the filter and pitch modulation is via the CV inputs.

Yes – Line level (analog) signal has voltage. I learned some of these tricks about a year ago – once thinking CV was far out and not so easy to gain control of – wrong.

The modulation of the SF can be controlled with amazing accuracy and synchronization using an application like Ableton. The possibilities are endless – I am still trying to understand where I would like to go with this idea. For now – you have the basic knowledge – please post back ideas and break throughs! Thx.
