Morningstar MIDI Controller Tips and Tricks for the Quad Cortex - Ep. 6

This is video six in a series of videos that will cover everything from basic Quad Cortex operation, to some more... esoteric uses via the Morningstar MIDI controllers.

In this video we explore CC Waveform Engines and how to use as an "automated expression pedal" or an LFO to drive parameters for blocks on the QC. This lets us enable things like a ducking reverb, synth-like pitch and filtering FX, and just some other random and fun experiments.

We also explore expression ramping as a way to activate a specific effect via a momentary press.
