CV to OSC to control TouchDesigner #539

Open IsaacFox opened 1 year ago

Hello,

I am trying to send CV out from Cardinal, convert it to OSC, and use that signal to control visuals into TouchDesigner. Is this possible? I saw this video for doing the same thing in VCV Rack. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56QdSo4TFqo&t=783s

It seems like he's using an OSC converter from within VCV rack, but I couldnt find that module.

I was thinking, if I could use Ableton's CV tools, I could convert it to OSC, but for some reason it won't recognize Cardinal in the CV port. Any suggestions?? I'm sure it's something very simple

Thank you, Isaac

These Ableton "CV tools" are not meant to work with plugin CV ports.

Perhaps you can use the MIDI out module to then convert the MIDI to OSC instead?

Ahh, that makes sense thank you! For some reason, the MIDI out doesnt seem to be working either. I tried sending a few things through it (a sequence from Note Seq, a clock, etc), but Ableton isn't picking up a MIDI signal. Any suggestions??

@IsaacFox this probably depends on if you use FX vs Synth versions of the plugin. Can you try with the different versions? Maybe VST2 vs VST3 as well?

Otherwise I've seen people use separate midi tracks and routing the output to there, that could be the solution here as well. (I have no experience with Ableton since it doesn't support my OS)
