There are 2 CV output ports on the left side of the QuNexus and 1 CV input port on the right side�
Outputs - The two output ports use stereo 1/8” TRS connectors and provide 4 outputs: a Gate
Output and three 16-bit CV Outputs� Output voltages range from 0 to 5V�
Inputs - The input port should be used with a TRRS connector to access both CV Inputs and the 5V
Power for an expression pedal� QuNexus’ CV In is uni-polar� If you send it a bi-polar signal, half of the
signal will be clipped (which can cause malfunctions in extreme cases�) Sending a signal above 5V is
also unsupported�
These are the 2 types of plugs that are required to plug QuNexus into a CV device� The TRS type is
for the CV output ports and the TRRS type is for the CV input port�
