Both Trigger16 and CV16 are expanders. The former providing 16 Trigger outputs and the later providing 16 CV outputs. When you install 4 CV16 you have a total of 64CV lines on top of what the main module delivers. Insanely powerful
.Once you've installed one (or both) of these expanders you can change the track types to them. The pattern screen for patterns on such tracks then changes accordingly. You can see some of this in the manual. E.g. the CV16 provides 6 lanes (per track) that can be either note or gate - your decision. Where to place the tuning CV and where the gate?
Setting up tuning for these expanders very much depends on how you decided to set up voices/note cv and gate cv. While that probably could be done automagically (by reading the pattern and deriving the voice structure from the values found in the pattern) it essentially is something best done by hand.
And we haven't tackled the problem how to deal with differing trigger/gate pattern depending on the type of voice involved. In case that's not clear:
This is not made up. It is a problem I regularly have.
Last not least:
What actually is the benefit of doing some menu diving to set up a complex voice structure in the Nerd Menu in comparison to just insert a row of tuning patterns?
To me it seems the proposed tuning feature is beneficial for simple voice setups and cumbersome for anything more complex. Why make the simple case even simpler and at the same time all more complex cases more complicated?
Kind regards,
Michael
