CV-1
CV-Recorder/Looper & CV-Generator
Control Voltage Recorder, Looper, and Generator - for a own Eurorack-Line… more in Future!
–this picture is the first prototype - pre-Eurorack
very-early-version...k
Features
* A Envelope which can be Recored from an AIN-Source, it can be Editet on Startpoint,ATK-Playbackrate, Decay-Playbackrate
* LFO which Waveform is stepless morphable from Sine Square Tri Saw-Up to Saw-Down…(only Clocksynced!)
* MSQ MotionSequencer to loop a CV-Signal.
* A Mixer Page which Mixes/Mutes ENV+LFO+MSQ - and scales the output CV
* Copy, Paste, Clear: to Transfair the CV Sequence to other CV1 Instances
* ProgramChange Load and Store on microSD-Card, Load and Store are CC-Commands, so you can remote the device
* The Sequencer can be set to Tact Systems: 3/4 4/4 5/4 7/4 9/4 11/4 13/4
Hardware Requirements
Midibox:
- dipcoref4 - this is the µC Brain for CV1
- no other PCBs needet - but expandable with other Eurorackmodules in Future
- µSD-Card, formated with FAT32
- Soldering Iron - with a Dip that can Handle SMD-Parts, Wires, solder Paste for the µC….
- Eurorack Power Source +-12V AND +5V!
Set
Cabeling
Midi IN1 »> CV1 Remote Device or a Midi-Sequencer
Midi OUT »> to a Global CV1 Remote Device - which will need a lot of Midiinputs M16?
- @JMidi1: connect your Sequencer to get Midiclock and Programchanges
- @JAIN1: 2 CV Inputs - 12V tollerant
- @JAUT3: 1 CV Output - (internal DAC with Protection Cirtuit > 12V Tollerant)
- @J19:Get up to 8 CV-Outputs, with a AoutNG
- @JLCD1: up to 4 Additional OLED-Displays for every one a Reset Line - so no additonal Circuit needet
- @J89: DIN and DOUT Shiftregister Chain: thought for decidet Expander Modules (which will come in near future
- @J2/Bootload: If the core is not starting up - because of bad-Firmware, then bridge this Jumper to come into the Bootload-Mode

yes it loopin… but not good enough to release anything…
Building
The Design is optimized for Pick and Place most SMD Parts are on the Top-PCB
i ordered 5 PCBs from JLCPCP with almost all SMD Parts (except 10pF µSD and 4x100nF) presoldered
now waiting for Presoldered PCBs - for 15€ a Piece!
The Resistors for the LEDs are under the top LCD, so test your LED brightnes before soldering the Top-LCD
You can remove LCD later but, it is hard! and you may damage the LCD or the PCB…
Frontpanel
- Eurorack Alu-Plate
Case
BOM
the 22R Resistors should be 220, the Green LEDs are still to bright even with 440 Ohm Resistors…

I have ProtoBoards here - i test one, and if it works, i can share them for Beta Testing-if you pay the postage
