Analog 4 / Keys FX & CV tracks question

Am thinking of getting one of these, but am wondering about the 2 fx and cv tracks.

Can these be used to control external midi synths as if they are just another track (polyphonically?).

Sorry if it seems a dumb question, but I keep reading conflicting things, so am not sure.

Yes, any of the 6 tracks on the A4 can sequence up to 4-note polyphony for external devices via MIDI.

Thank you.

So I could perch a Roland Aira Compact S1 on the space on the right side if the AK, route the audio through the AK and it be a self powered poly track for the FX/CV for 4 note pads freeing the 4 tracks for the 4 voices of the AK?

Sounds perfect.

Yep, that should work. And even route the Roland machine through the A4/AK effects.

Using the CV track to sequence MIDI liberates the FX track for p-locks on your effects, which is quite neat.
