What is CV Toolkit?
CV Toolkit is a standalone software available for MacOS and Windows that uses virtual modules to generate different kinds of control voltage (CV) signals to control, modulate, and sequence analog / modular synthesizers.
These virtual modules can be also internally routed to each other via the Routing Matrix and the internal CV and Gate buses to create more advanced sequences.
With CV Toolkit 3, you can create anything from multi-channel rhythmic sequences to complete polyphonic patches.
In order you CV Toolkit with your synth, you'll need a DC-coupled audio interface or an Expert Sleeper's ES-8, ES-3, ES-5, ES-4, ES-40, ESX-4CV, and ESX-8CV modules ¹.
The new CV Toolkit 3 includes a new design, many new features such as Snapshots and Quick Route, new options for generating MIDI Notes and CC messages, major performance improvements, and more!

Snapshots – save and recall the state of all 12 slots (up to 8 snapshots per Layout).
Layouts – Save different layouts to use in different situation such as live perfomance or studio tracking.
3 Voicing Modes – create anything from simple sequenced patches to more elaborate polyphonic patches (up to four voices).
Internal CV Buses – Gate / Pitch
Module Packs – Expand CV Toolkit by purchasing more modules.
Eight analog outputs – you can use up to eight analog outputs to send signals to your modular synthesizer.
MIDI Sequencing – Generate MIDI Notes and CC messages using CV Toolkit’s modules
Microtonal Scales - Create your own scales or import Scala (.scl) files.

Why Standalone?
Although the Standalone version cannot be loaded straight into your favorite DAW like a plug-in, there are advantages of having it as a separate app:
Easy to setup – multi-channel plugins can take a lot of time to setup
Works with any DAW – you can use and sync CV Toolkit with any DAW that support Ableton Link or MIDI Clock sync
Or even without one – if you just want to jam for a while, you don't need to open up your DAW in order to run CV Toolkit

VBrazil LFO
The VBrazil LFO module for CV Toolkit is an exact clone of the LFO 1 available in the VBrazil MultiLFO eurorack module. We partnered with Vinícius Brazil to make sure the virtual module features the exact same specs as the real module.
What's special about this module is that it features an multi-waveform LFO with a built-in S&H and wave-shaper. The first input of the module can be used to either modulate the frequency of the LFO or the phase (shape) of the waveform. The S&H circuitry can also be trigger via the internal Gate CV bus.

User Testimonials & Reviews
“I have an ES-4 which is a massive pain in the *** with Logic to set up and heavily restricted with S/PDIF compared to ADAT. The first version of the CV Toolkit changed all that for me, exciting, interesting and really quick and good fun. Highly recommend it.”
“Purists might decry the modular-computer interface, but in terms of functionality and value, you can’t beat the CV Toolkit.”
“If you’re trying to bring your CV-based kit under control. And, if using a computer doesn’t give you scary nightmares, I’d highly advise giving CV Toolkit Standalone 2.1 a look.”
“If your into Modular and want to control it via your DAW, CV Toolkit is a must have. Use it everyday.”
“Pair this up with an ES-8 (or any DC-coupled audio device) and you can greatly extend your modular system in an eyeblink.”
