Roland S-1 With a MIDI Controller

The S-1 is a powerful little synth, but that little stature can make it a bit of a headache to play properly. So what happens when we pair it with an actual MIDI controller? Turns out it works perfectly, and even features an extensive list of CC commands that you can send it to adjust all sorts of parameters, even ones hidden deep in menus! Enjoy the video :)
