The ADDAC309 CV to Expression module is a hardware device designed for incorporation into a Eurorack modular synthesizer system. Developed by ADDAC System, it functions as a conduit between Eurorack modules and effects pedals, taking voltage signals from the Eurorack environment and channeling them into effects pedals through their expression pedal inputs. It advocates the bypassing of traditional external expression pedals by providing a direct and modular system-to-effects pedal connection operating through CV signal transmission from a chosen module into the desired pedal.
The ADDAC309 module has two channels equipped with CV inputs, attenuators, and standard 1/4″ jacks outputting the signals. The CV input captures the CV source whilst the attenuator controls the signal strength. This dual-approach opens a myriad of creative possibilities. The ADDAC309 is a passive module that gets its power from the effect pedals it’s connected to, reducing power strain on the Eurorack system while ensuring compatibility with a range of pedals operating at voltage ranges from 3.3V to 9V.
In simple terms, the ADDAC309 CV to Expression module bridges the gap between the Eurorack modular synthesizer environment and the arena of effects pedals, intertwining their unique sonic capabilities.

The article discusses a Patch Adventure that uses four distinct Eurorack modules to create unique soundscapes. The first of these is Nekyia Circuits’ Sosumi, a dual low pass gate designed after the Buchla 292 model, which features non-resonant circuits utilizing vactrols for controlling frequency and amplitude to produce organic plucky and percussive sounds.
Next, we have Joranalogue Audio Design’s Route 4, which is a latching signal router providing flexible routing options with gate or trigger control. It has a 4-to-1 router at the top and a 1-to-4 router at the bottom, offering dynamic signal routing with visual feedback through LEDs.
The third module is the ERD/TOAD module, a unique analogue computer designed to model the vocal emissions of lunar and solar creatures, generating oscillations based on clock signals to provide a unique sound generation method.
Lastly, we have the ST Modular Duck, a ducking module allowing for sidechaining without compression. This module enables precise level reduction of audio signals based on control voltage (CV) gate signals, assisting in maintaining a clear mix.
The combination of these modules enables the creation of intricate and evolving “lunar toad” soundscapes, providing an exceptional range of sonic possibilities for Eurorack music production.
