Set up a second Audio track with the input signal from the Effect/Instrument
and record arm to monitor the input back into Ableton Live.  
Now using the

CV Value

knob on the CV Control channel, you can automate

the

CV

signal sent out of Ableton to your External Instrument/FX unit. This can

then be mapped to a MIDI controller to control in realtime, or record the
Automation into your session. 
Now you can record the audio back into your Ableton Session, or other DAW
you may be using to record your Audio back onto your system. 
Please note that multiple CV Utility plugs can be set up when using the SSL 12
as

EVERY PHYSICAL OUTPUT

is able to send DC signal for CV Control.

Therefore you can use up to 8 CV control signals at any one time using CV

Best Practices & Safety

Never

send

CV

directly to your speakers.  (Direct voltage can cause damage

to your speakers/hearing).
When Using Outputs

1/2, 5/6

&

7/8

, to allow for correct signal values ensure

the corresponding Volume knobs are turned fully Clockwise. The MONITOR
LEVEL controls the Level for

Outputs 1&2

, and the

HP A

&

 HP B

knobs

control the levels for

Outputs 5&6

&

7&8

respectively. 

The CV Instrument device is only capable of calibrating oscillators that use
bipolar voltage (+/-5V) for 1v/oct. tuning.  However, some digital oscillator
modules exclusively use unipolar signals (+5V or above) for tuning.  As a
result, CV Tools will be incompatible with these modules.  If you are unsure
whether this applies to the modules in your system, please consult the user
manual for the device.
Remember - Eurorack signals are up to 5x louder than line-level audio! Before
connecting your modular system to a digital audio interface, be sure to reduce
the signal down to line-level using a dedicated output module.
