More CV Expander?

[XORadmin]

Hi guys,  if i understand the manual, we can't control all 16 cv output with one track but only 6.

i understood too that i need to sacrifice one track to get access to the cv expander. Right ?

My idea was to add 4 drum voices to my nerdseq via the cv 16 (4*4 = 16).

Each of the 4 new tracks would be parameter like this Pitch/trig/mod1/Mod2 + 1 fx (so 6 columns)... so visually 4 pages seems for me ideal. Am i a fool to want that ?

i readed the thread and people has differents needs about CV16 and it's normal.  

I think the goal could be to propose several "template" (8VC+Trig, 4*4, etc...)  to assign so everybody finds his needs...

I precise i still not use it but i will get the expander in a few days for christmas but i think how to integrate it.

PS : can't we sacrifice one sampler track instead ?

Hey not completely correct.
You can control 6 CV outputs from the columns directly and another 3 through the FX columns per step. Of course you can use other CV outputs with the CV on other steps. Also you can assign chords which can play on up to 6 CV outputs and it uses only one of the CV columns. So it can do a bit more than this. And if you got any modulations like a LFO running, then you only need to enable them once for a CV output and keep it running then. So with some smart composing you can get much more than the initial 6 columns.
There is no Track sacrifice. You still can also use nearly all track related things for the local outputs. It adds many more functions to a track.

A dynamic approach for the 'templates' is not possible since the column memory is very limited and already totally packed. 
Also the sample tracks can't be used and it would need some major refactoring to make these also assignable. They work much different than usual tracks as they contain actually 2 tracks in one each. But if you want to do some CV stuff from the sample tracks, you can always control any of the local CV/Mod/Trigger from the sample tracks. But don't forget the sample tracks are much more than samples, these are oscillators, FM synthesizer.....
