It certainly works...

But I guess the 4x4 knob layout takes some getting used to.

Also... although you can assign Gate to control whatever you want, it still seems to control the Gate as well. That's a bit of a bummer.

Velocity works perfectly though after you disable the Vel->Amp patch.

(and use Vel+- -> Pitch/Tune)
