Utility Rack
The Utility Rack has additional features that can further expand and enhance the functionality of CV Toolkit. You can route any signal to the Utility Rack via the RACK 1-4 outputs available on the Routing Matrix Output layer.
When a signal gets routed to one of the channels of the Utility Rack, it's automatically routed to all sections of the Utility Rack (Oscilloscope and CV to MIDI CC Converters).
Oscilloscopes
The 4-channel oscilloscope available in the Utility Rack let you easily visualize signals routed to the RACK 1-4 outputs.
This is useful for getting visual feedback of the waveform, amplitude and polarity of these signals.
CV To MIDI CC Converters
The CV to MIDI CC converters let you convert incoming CV signals (routed through the Routing Matrix to RACK 1-4) to MIDI CC messages. These are useful for controlling other MIDI-enabled synthesizers, FX units or even parameters in your DAW.
These converters can also be combined with a hardware MIDI to CV converters (such as the Mutable Instruments CV Pal) in order to add more outputs to CV Toolkit (make sure to select the correct Output Channel and Device).
The MIDI CC messages are sent to the MIDI Output device selected in the MIDI Settings.
Each of the 4 converters / channels feature a selector for the MIDI CC number and an On / Off toggle switch.
Whenever a converter is turned ON, it'll automatically send a corresponding MIDI CC message. This is useful for testing as well as for using the MIDI Learn feature in other DAW and plugins more efficiently.
These converters have a refresh rate of 10ms therefore they work best with signals < 100hz.
