"The EXP1 is a MIDI CC to CV converter with a variety of controls to let you sculpt and modify the signal. The large, configurable display shows the input and output in real time. It includes over twenty combinator patches lovingly crafted for use with a wind controller such as the EWI-USB or WX7."

€15.00


Features
Converts aftertouch, expression, breath, and mod wheel to CV.
Large, configurable display.
1 CV input, 6 CV outputs.
Curve control - apply a response curve to the signal.
Shift, Gain - add to or scale the input signal.
Separate attack and decay lag controls for smoothing the signal.


On the Back Panel
Switch the Attack and Decay slope from exponential to linear
6 CV outputs
1 CV input
CV control of Curve, Shift, Attack, Decay and Gain


Use the EXP1 to..
Add extra sensitivity to keyboard aftertouch.
Add a breath response curve to a breath controller such as the AKAI EWI-USB or EWI4000s.
Smooth the response of your external controllers using Attack and Decay.
View CV from other devices with the large, multi function display.

Great looking GUI!
Would have thought it was a Propellerhead device if I didn't already know and had to guess.

[dioxide]

Agreed. The GUI is top class.

Don't think I need it but that is a cool thing

How come it's classified as an instrument rather than a utility?

[Benedict]

That will be based on the Prop's device categories. Commonly this sort of Note/CV ends up under Instrument.

I'll take a guess.
It is supposed to open with a sequencer track by default, so it can receive cc data.

Good product. Top GUI. Good product presentation, manual and tutorials. I bought almost every CV RE, so there is no need, but I will get it anyways. Those devices are always good to misuse with NOTE CV for example for generative melodies (by adding a CV Tuner afterwards) or crazy pitch effects.

Interesting. I would like to learn more about your technique of misusing CV devices to do this.

Likewise; owner of Step, Euclid, Ammo 100 LA , CV-mutant , curious what this can bring in complementation ....

Just to give one idea.
Gate CV of Matrix to e.g. Subtractor. But instead of Matrix Note CV you use this chain: Take the Ammo (any other LFO ist fine, but I like this because of many waveforms), about 3Hz and 0.5 Depth, the unipolar out into VoltSH-1 (synced to 1/16 rate), this goes into the CV Tuner (source: unipolar), and finally into your Note CV of your synth. Now you have a melody playing and you can start playing around with the settings of the Ammo and VoltSH-1.
But this a basic setup. Be creative, the possibilites are endless. Any CV signal can be used as Note Singal or mixed/combined with a regular Note signal.
In regards to the EXP 1, I would try to send a regular Note signal into the device and alter it before routing to a synth.
