QuNexus CV Manual

QuNexus Version 1.1.1
July, 2013

Connect QuNexus to Synthesizers or other CV devices:

The images to the right below show QuNexus connected to a CV device. There are 3 different 

ways to set this up:

Powered by a Computer (or iPad):

1. Use a USB A-to Micro cable to connect 

the QuNexus Micro port to a USB port 

on a computer or iPad. This connects 

the QuNexus to power.

2. Use a cable that is compatible with your 

CV device’s CV ports. Using adapters if 

needed, make sure one end can plug 

into one of the stereo 1/8in. CV out ports 

on the QuNexus.

3. Plug your cable into the “Gate-CV1 Out” 

port on the left side of the QuNexus. 

Plug the other end into the desired 

destination on your CV device.

Powered by KMI MIDI Expander:

1. Use a USB A-to-Mini cable to connect 

the QuNexus Mini port (on the right side 

of the QuNexus) to the USB “Expand” 

port on the MIDI Expander.

2. Connect the power supply to the MIDI 

Expander USB “Power” port.

3. See steps 2 and 3 from the “Powered by 

a Computer” steps.
