Intellijel Cascadia Meets MPE: Expressive Control in Modular Patching

Intellijel’s Cascadia isn’t just another desktop semi-modular—it’s a playground for expressive control, especially when paired with MPE (MIDI Polyphonic Expression) controllers. In this official Intellijel walkthrough, Matt demonstrates how Cascadia’s MPE mode transforms the synth’s interaction, letting gestures from devices like Ableton Push 3, Linnstrument, and Osmose shape everything from filter cutoff to wave folding. The video is a practical guide to setting up MPE, translating nuanced MIDI gestures into control voltages, and patching up dynamic, morphing sounds. If you’re curious about how MPE can inject new life into your modular workflow, this is a must-watch.
