I previously wrote about the Expert Sleepers ES-9 a “Eurorack 16-in/16-out USB audio interface, with DC-coupled inputs and outputs that can be used for both audio and CVs”.

Someone recently asked about how to go about rendering CV with Bitwig. For this demo I created an audio track with a HW CV Out device. I put a sine wave LFO on the CV out so that we would have some output for our demo. Note: I did not bother to map the CV Out Output as we are […]

Anyone who has been following my blog for a while know I am a fan of probabilities and randomization in my music. While they are a great compositional aid they can become problematic later on in the creative process.

While trying to open an old project file I ran into an issue. Since Monark is an Ensemble provided by Native Instruments as part of Komplete I was surprised.
