Ivy note cv same as Cv tuner ?

[Voyager]

Hey guys,

Do Ivy note cv work the same way as cv tuner or it's something different ?

[Voyager]

anyone has used both ?

[Catblack]

My understanding is that Ivy is a completely different animal, but I haven't read the Ivy manual enough to understand exactly what it does.

Maybe a simpler how-to video with just an ID8 - or the like.

Seems interesting.

well, I did a 3 minute test

cv tuner, can tune cv easy

Ivy note, can tune cv but not so easy, has some random thing

I prefer cv tuner, but you need to try

It's worth noting that if you are looking for a way to quantise CV signals, Robotic Bean's Step Note Recorder is actually by far the most flexible of the lot, though it isn't immediately obvious that this is one of its applications. You can play a custom note sequence into it (effectively stretching across as many octaves as you want) and quantise to that in a wide variety of ways. Even the otherwise brilliant PSQ-1684 only allows you to quantise to a single octave scale.

It's in the sale at the moment and I can guarantee you won't regret picking it up.

Thanks for pointing that out! The way you do it is that you hook into the External Signal Processor on the back panel:



Then you can either set a fixed scale/key on Step's front panel, or enable the keyboard TRANSP mode and feed it chords via MIDI.

This isn't actually what I meant. What I've been doing is recording a note sequence spanning multiple octaves, working from the lowest to the highest note in order, then manipulating the Position In using LFOs/CV signals. I clamp the signal so that the lowest value maps to the lowest note and the highest value maps to the highest note. This way the LFO signal is effectively quantised to a multi-octave scale (I know it isn't strictly a scale, but I don't know what else to call it). You can get some wonderful effects this way, especially when you are running LFOs into the other sockets (Mute In, Tie In etc) or pulsing quick changes in the Direction. The only thing I'm missing is being able to save a recorded sequence to a pattern bank and then toggle between patterns on the fly.

They're similar. I think of Ivy is closer to running 2 notes in Scales and Chords, but like a quirkier CV version. Plus you just need to create a new instrument for the harmony part. It's fun. CV Tuner is similar where you tune the original note plus create a harmony as a separate out.

I like randomizing Matrix patterns and then running through CV Tuner -- good times ... although I have no idea what's going on note-wise ha.
