Description
Version of the ESX8CV Instrument device with MTS-ESP tuning support (see URL link). The original ESX8CV is itself a version of the CV Instrument device from Ableton CV Tools, but made to work with the Expert Sleepers ESX-8CV expander by bhenry1790 (https://maxforlive.com/library/device/6411/esx8cv-instrument).
The pitch CV generated will automatically follow tuning from an MTS-ESP master plug-in if instanced in a session, otherwise will automatically revert to 12-TET.
Notes from bhenry1790:
Set Ext. Out to the stereo pair for your ES-5, then set the header to ESX-8CV
ESX-8CV Outputs:
1 = 1v/Oct
2 = Gate
3 = Envelope 1
4 = Envelope 2
5 = MIDI Expression 1
6 = MIDI Expression 2
7 = MIDI Expression 3
8 = Shaper
You'll need to add the es*encoder~ externals to Max for these to work.
