I want to give this a go and wondering if my reasoning is sound.

I have a dc coupled audio interface (Audient ID14 MkII)
I have a small eurorack setup
I can buy Robotic Bean CV-O rack extension

Given this, can I route the control voltages through CV-O to my Audient and send the dc coupled output to my rack
without having to buy an ExpertSleepers module?

Or is there a better way?

Many thanks,

Greg

I'm not sure how far you got with researching this, but check out the warning at the bottom of the page for the CV-O:

Not suitable for sending pitch CV signals due to different standards. To do this we recommend Silent Way Voice Controller.

One advantage with Silent Way one is you can use MIDI or CV to drive Pitch/Gate signals, making the setup "cable free"!
They suggest to test your system before you purchase (demo the RE), just to be sure it works as expected.

I don't have experience with either approach, but use my Novation SLmkIII to convert two voices to EuroRack CV.

Thor can do marvels...
There are tons of threads on this argument.
I transformed THOR in a MIDI translator for example, sent it out through my Ultralite with coupled outs,
used an analog to midi converter, and it worked... I also made a Thor Midi Analog clock divider/multiplier.
But there's no guides on it, you need to master it.
If you just want analogs out... literally everything in Reason can give you that...
Silent way has a Eurorack module and make it all easier.
Audient? Never heard of that, but if it has DC audio coupled out you are in good hands.
