The ALM Busy Circuits ALM022 EXP1 AXON-1 CV Expander for Squid Salmple & MFX is a powerful 4HP module that unlocks new possibilities for modular sampler or FX program manipulation. With four additional CV inputs that include digital attenuation and offset, it greatly expands the capabilities of the Squid Salmple and MFX modules.
This CV expander comes with the added convenience of being powered directly from the Squid, requiring no additional power header. All assignments and settings are saved with banks, making it a breeze to return to a preferred setup even after powering down. Additionally, it is skiff-friendly and crafted with care in England.
It is important to note that for the AXON-1 to function properly with the Squid Salmple, firmware 166 or later must be installed. This firmware update procedure can be found in the Squid manual.
With its additional CV inputs and digital attenuation and offset capabilities, the ALM022 EXP1 AXON-1 CV Expander is a valuable addition to any modular setup that includes the Squid Salmple and MFX modules. It opens up new avenues for experimentation and creativity, allowing for even greater control over sampling and FX manipulation.
Example Usage
If you're new to using CV inputs on a modular sampler or FX program, the ALM Busy Circuits ALM022 EXP1 AXON-1 CV Expander is a great way to expand your possibilities. With its 4 additional CV inputs, you can start experimenting with modulation and exploring new sounds. Just connect the module to your Squid Salmple or MFX and start assigning modulation to each input. Don't forget to adjust attenuation and offset for each assignment to fine-tune your sound. With the ability to save all your assignments and settings with banks, you can easily switch between presets and maintain your creative flow.
The ALM Busy Circuits ALM022 EXP1 AXON-1 CV Expander for Squid Salmple & MFX allows for seamless integration of external modulation sources to manipulate and transform audio and samples in the Squid Salmple and MFX. For instance, you can use the four additional CV inputs to send LFO signals to the parameter controls of the Squid Salmple or MFX. You can assign each of these CV inputs to control parameters such as filter cutoff, sample start position, or waveform shape. By using the digital attenuation and offset provided by AXON-1, you can fine-tune the modulation amount and polarity for each assigned parameter. This expands the possibilities for creating evolving and complex sonic textures in your modular synthesizer setup.
Further Thoughts
The ALM Busy Circuits ALM022 EXP1 AXON-1 CV Expander for Squid Salmple & MFX is an essential add-on for any modular sampler or FX program enthusiast. With 4 additional CV inputs and per assignment digital attenuation and offset, it offers limitless possibilities for sound manipulation. Using the AXON-1 with the Squid Salmple requires firmware 166 or later installed to function, but the update procedure is outlined in the Squid Manual. Take your creativity to new heights with the ALM022 EXP1 AXON-1 CV Expander.
