a. If using an Expression Pedal you can plug in with a stereo 1/8in connection.
b. For separate use of both CV 1 and 2 use a TRRS splitter like the one that comes 

in the 

QuNexus CV Cable Kit

 (click on the link for more information).

4. QuNexus’ CV will enter the MIDI device as CC numbers on Channel 2.

a. The Expression pedal will use CC# 112
b. CV 2 will use CC# 113

5. Make sure the MIDI Device is set up to receive the correct CC# on Channel 2.
6. Play the Expression Pedal (or other CV source), it should talk to the MIDI Device.

Scenario 3: QuNexus plugged into Computer (With MIDI 
Expander)

Use Case: This is a good way to control a MIDI hardware device or MIDI software on a 
computer with an Expression Pedal (or any other uni-polar 0-5 Volt CV source). Ableton Live will 
be used as the software example in this scenario but you can check for all the same things 
using different software. 

1. Plug QuNexus into the Computer.
2. Plug QuNexus into the MIDI Expander.
3. Plug the MIDI Output from the MIDI Expander into the MIDI Input on your MIDI Device.
4. Open the Audio/MIDI software you wish to convert CV to MIDI with (like Ableton Live).
5. Check Ableton’s MIDI Preferences to make sure QuNexus Port 1 and Port 3 are enabled 

for MIDI Input and Output. In Ableton, make sure to enable the remote column for Input 
from Port 1 and Port 3.

6. Plug a CV device into the Pedal / CV 1-2 In:

a. If using an Expression Pedal you can plug in with a stereo 1/8in connection.
b. For separate use of both CV 1 and 2 use a TRRS splitter like the one that comes 

in the 

QuNexus CV Cable Kit

 (click on the link for more information).

7. Go int to MIDI Mapping Mode in Ableton Live and select the parameter you wish to 

control using CV.

8. Go into CoMA Mode using the QuNexus and follow the CoMA Mode instructions for 

mapping the Expression pedal. See the QuNexus Full Manual for CoMA Mode 
instructions.

a. The Expression pedal will Map as CC# 112 on Channel 2 of QuNexus Port 3.
b. CV 2 will Map as CC# 113 on Channel 2 of QuNexus Port 3.

9. Exit MIDI Mapping Mode in Ableton Live.
10. Exit CoMA Mode on QuNexus.
11. Make sure the MIDI Device is set up to receive the correct CC# on Channel 2.
12. Play the Expression Pedal (or other CV source), it should talk to the MIDI Device and 

adjust the parameter in the software.
