I found the CT really easy, followed a few videos on YouTube and got the hang of it
Tracks 1&2 are the internal synth, it’s very novation sounding (I have an ultranova)
Tracks 5,6,7&8 are drum / sample tracks, plenty of sounds and packs can be added if you have an SD card using Components software
Tracks 3&4 are midi so they control the Roland SE-01 and Korg volca
The audio from the Roland and volca go back into the CT so can b mixed in with the other tracks so you don’t need a mixer unless you add more synths
For me it’s better using a keyboard like the Arturia, but it needs to be set up right so the CT is the main clock for when using the arp’
Also, I can’t play the ext synths with the arturia yet, just waiting for midi merge and midi thru boxes to arrive
Then I’m putting it all, except the keyboard, on a cheap pedal board with all the cables, including power, tucked underneath
Hope that helps
Tony
