My issues with CV/Gate Expanders

[XORadmin]

Howdy 

I understood, by reading the manual, and watching several videos, that the CV/Gate expanders are fitted with an interesting new environment when a track is assigned to either of them.

So, did I miss something or can’t you access the expander CV/Trigger from the 1-6 native channel’s FX column without having to re engineer all the existing patterns?

I was hoping that I could just route my existing signals to them easily, and it seems that I will have to completely change my logic, which was awseome thanks to the existing environment.

Please tell me what you think about my perspective, and if in any way I am wrong.

Thanks

Sorry to say but indeed they are different in many ways. (And similar in other ways)

Just as the audio tracks or Midi tracks got dedicated functionality and optimized pattern columns, so do the CV16 and Trigger16 have.
Basically because you could never reach the new functions with only one column of notes or triggers.
And the CV expander is designed to generate notes, voltages and modulation while the trigger expander does triggers and gates.
You can always keep control of your local CV/Trigger outputs
within the expander tracks.
