How hard it it to use a4 as module?

I just want to confirm that this is possible and not a headache before purchase…

I work in logic , so I just want to midi the A4 up and use 4 midi tracks in logic to send notes to the A4’s 4 audio patches, or 4 note chords to the A4 once it has poly update.

Is this pretty simple?

Yes it is.

sending notes/params works very well already and the AF’s MIDI options (channels etc.) are good.

the update might improve on this, yea :slight_smile:

Thanks! What about sending filter automation?

Easy peasy - using logic’s sequencer to control the A4 is not going to be half as much fun as the internal one, but yeah, it does this simple stuff no bother

yep sure, oscillator pitches & filter frequencies support hi-res controllers.
you can control any synth param via MIDI CC/NRPN, and also the performance macros (not hi-res though).

One last question, when selecting patches, can you just scroll like on most synths and the patches change as you go?
or do you have to select/load each one to preview it?

not 100% sure about this one but i believe you can scroll the patches to preview them. you then need to assign the patch to the track.

you can’t preview in that sense, at least not yet anyway

you can, with the keyboard or from MIDI! but not with the sequencer…

I also have a little question : When using A4 as a module, is it possible to load a specific sound via midi?

For example is it possible to play every sounds stored in A4 just by sending midi notes and PC?

Thank you
