Apple
- All Apple phones and tablets with headphone jacks are DC coupled. Check out apps like CV Mod, Brute LFO, Trigger Box, or just search for Control Voltage in the App store.
Cables
- Hosa CMP305 and CMP310 are 5′ and 10′ 3.5mm TS-1/4″ TS Cables to go from an audio interface to a Matriarch or Eurorack. You want to avoid TRS cables for most Moog instruments.
- Thanks to CMRR, getting a TRS to (2) TS 1/4″ insert cable, and a pair of GMP113, one can send a positive phase CV LFO out from an interface on the tip and a negative phase CV LFO on the ring.
