User reviews

No way to contact the developer

This app is broken. The link for app support links to his blog but there’s no obvious way to contact them from there.

Response from developer

Hi there. My contact info is in the user guide. (Settings icon -> “Guide”) Please email me at eokuwwy (at) gmail (dot) com and let me know what the issue is. I’ll be more than happy to fix it! Thanks.

Great, but

Great app but I’m not able to use this with an audio interface plugged in and it only seems to work with the headphone jack. I would love to see support for DC coupled external audio interfaces like the ES-9 added. If you’re okay with just the headphone jack support, buy this immediately.

Response from developer

Hey, thanks for the feedback! Several months ago I found a way using AUM. On a new audio strip, I inserted CV Mod as an inter app audio app (inserting as an audiobus app works too) and then I set the outputs of that channel strip to outputs 5 and 6 on my PreSonus interface, which is a DC-coupled USB audio interface, though it requires an external power adapter. Doing that allows a range of up to 5 volts out of the audio interface outputs. There might be cheaper apps that let you route audiobus or IAA apps to specific outputs. But AUM worked for me. Would be nice if you could choose outputs right in the app though :) I made a video on my YT channel about it. “thesrabbit” is my channel name. The vid is the one about Audiobus and IAA support. I hope that helps. Feel free to email me if that doesn’t work. Cheers

Great utility app

Future feature request: EG direct output, not just as a mod source to LFOs

Great cv app

This is great; just a wee bit confusing... once you get it it’s ace!

A genius app!!!

This app is absolutely amazing and works so well with my moogfooger!! Love it!!

FAQ

What is CV Mod?

CV Mod is a music application that functions as a 2 LFO/VCO oscillator module for modular and semi-modular synth hardware. It allows users to generate LFOs and sound sources by connecting their iPhone or iPad's headphone output to their synth rig.

How do I connect CV Mod to my synth?

You can connect CV Mod to your synth hardware by plugging your iPhone or iPad's headphone output into the CV or audio inputs of your modular or semi-modular system. Using a stereo breakout cable is recommended to utilize both oscillators.

Can I create my own waveforms with CV Mod?

Yes, CV Mod features two drawable wave table editors, allowing you to create custom waveforms. This offers a vast range of possibilities for unique sound design and sonic textures.

Does CV Mod support MIDI control?

Yes, CV Mod offers extensive MIDI implementation. You can control all oscillator parameters via MIDI CC with MIDI learn, and modulate frequency and phase with other oscillator controls. It also supports MIDI keyboard control for playing notes in VCO mode.

What are the frequency ranges for the oscillators?

The oscillators in CV Mod have five frequency ranges: 1 Hz, 4 Hz, 40 Hz, 120 Hz, and VCO mode (full range). This allows for a wide spectrum of applications, from slow LFO sweeps to full-range sound generation.

What is the price of CV Mod?

CV Mod is a paid application, priced at $1.99. This one-time purchase grants access to all its features for expanding your modular synth setup.
