It was there in plain view: Page 292 of the manual. Several people send me messages to let me know that you CAN modulate AN-X with channel aftertouch. I tested it, and they're right. I show how it's done, and explain why I couldn't find it originally when looking for this functionality in the synth. Thanks to Joel from Moessieurs and Ziv from Loopop for getting in touch to set me right.

FM sound design is seen as a black art practiced only by geniuses like Brian Eno, and best left alone by mere mortal synth owners. I'm here to tell you that this is NOT the case, and that anyone - and that means YOU - can do simple FM sound design! This is not the age of arcane DX-7 programming. Today's Montage and MODX make FM programming easy, and dare I say it - FUN! In this video I teach you how to make two simple sounds using the FM-X synth engine in your MODX and Montage, and set you off on your journey of FM discovery!

Two months ago, I posted an unboxing video of my CC121 (link below). I had several people ask me to make a video demonstrating the CC121 in use with Cubase, and to go over its various controls. So this is that video! CC121 Unboxing Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=upDOiB0LswU ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3INJzspyug
