Dear Dan,

I will look at it.

This is interesting! If I can get the 3 CVs passed to SC, it would be  
the cleanest approach. I was thinking of driving a hardware sine  
oscillator with the control voltages and pitch track that signal but  
this appaers to be simpler and of lower latency. I will have to look  
into how the voltages are be passed into SC as variables (it looks  
like I need the SimpleMessageSystem lib on the arduino side). OK, I  
need to get arduino first :-)

I will try the MIDI route first because it seems to a be quicker  
route right now. I report back when I reach some success :-) I found  
some useful code examples there.

Thansk for info.

Cheers,
