CV Out
Bitwig Platform
A Grid signal routed as control voltage through a selected external CV output.
What it does
CV Out sends a Grid control signal to a configured hardware CV buss. Bitwig and the audio interface translate the numerical signal into physical voltage for modular or other voltage-controlled equipment.

Practical uses
- Control external filter cutoff, amplitude, modulation, or clock-processing hardware from the Grid.
- Send envelopes and LFOs to a modular system while keeping their generation synchronized in Bitwig.
Things to know
- Use a DC-coupled output designed for the required voltage range.
- A raw Grid value is not a universal voltage until the selected CV path is calibrated.
- Protect external equipment from out-of-range or accidental full-scale signals.
Technical details
No Nitro implementation has been confirmed for this visible module. The behavior is described conservatively from module metadata and editorial research.
CV Out is a calibrated host/hardware sink rather than a recovered DSP transform: conceptually voltage = path_calibration(input). The exact scale, offset, clamp, latency, and reconstruction behavior depend on the configured output path.
Open questions
- Measure volts per Grid unit, offset, polarity, clipping, latency, DC drift, sample-rate effects, and behavior on stop/bypass/device loss.
Version and sources
Checked against Bitwig Studio 6.0.6. This page combines Bitwig's module metadata, the existing Grid course and guides, and Nitro analysis where the mapping is strong enough to support a technical statement.
