i want to use pd as a lfo for my cv/gate moogerfooger using a midi interface and a midi to cv converter but i havent been able to find any examples of other people doing this. if you have any ideas or experience it would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Does anyone use pd to control CV/Gate gear?

going via midi should be super easy. just make sure your midi settings in pd are correct for your device, then find what channel the moogerfooger recieves on and make [ctlout] objects in your patch to send it shit.
but if you really wanna get down with cv and whatnot, then directly via an arduino or something is probably the best way

I once just patched my soundcard straight to the moogerfooger's CV inputs and sent some LFO to dac~.
Got some interesting results, but that was years ago.

I've never had any experience with that, but found this interesting topic:

I once saw someone demonstrate how to do what saturno's talking about. It would basically work with any audio interface that was DC coupled, which is just meant to prevent DC offset. And even if it was it was just a matter of opening it up and taking out one resistor (or whatever) to fix it. Then you just have to figure out the right range of values in Pd to send to [dac~] that matches the voltage range for the cv input. I don't remember how he did that, though, but it seemed easy.
It's funny, I lot of people discovered that you could do this with MOTU audio interfaces. Now they try to hide that and sell Volta.

Digging this thread up again as I'd also like to do this. I've got a kenton midi to cv controller and can send LFOs and waveforms thru [dac~]. Any other tips or references?
