Using The Akai MPC X With A Modular Synthesizer
In this video from Akai, we learn how the MPC X sampler & sequencer can be used in conjunction with a modular synthesizer via control voltage (CV) connections.
From information provided in the video’s description:
Learn how to set up a CV track, configure the 8 CV outputs, use a MIDI controller with your CV-controllable gear, and record a sequence. We start with a basic “east coast” patch and move on to some more esoteric examples. After all, everyone builds modular systems to suit their own tastes in workflow and sonic goals.
