[PD] converting incoming audio/voltages into CV for Eurorack modules

I'm right now controlling an analog synth via Pd :-). I'm just using an arduino - works well. It depends how many CV sources you wanna have, though. Generating trigger signals (e.g. for envelope generators) is really easy because you can directly use the digital outs. CV for modulation is a bit more tricky because you have to smooth the PWM outputs of the arduino with low pass filters. I found that using two RC circuits in series (with C = 1 microFarad and R = 3,3 kOhm) works decently for pins 5 and 6 on the Arduino Uno (pins 9, 10, 11 have a lower PWM frequency and therefore might need a lower cutoff frequency). I'm thinking about trying out some multichannel DACs with 10 or 12 bit because PWM on the arduino is only 8 bit. DACs also operate at a much higher frequency so smoothing would be much easier.

Ahh cool, yeah, I saw that page but only quickly scanned and found no info where to get the hardware, the place it links to has this at the top of the page:

"Update 25 November 2014: software link below; stay tuned for hardware info"
 ha..
 I just emailed Andrew directly.
 Thanks!

I think they're working out a kickstarter campaign to be released soon!
 
Cheers,

Hey Ricky,
 I've done some major google searches and have yet to find where one can get this Audio cape [bela?]. Can you point me to it?
 Thanks,Alex

Works great.
