"YOLA MPE Controller — Test Notes

In this test, YOLA is used as an MPE control terminal to play four analog oscillators polyphonically, with independent CV and Gate control for each voice.

The setup uses the magnetic CV expansion module, providing:

4 × polyphonic CV outputs
4 × Gate outputs
Buchla-format and Eurorack-format CV support
Demo 1 — 4-Voice Analog Polyphony

One YOLA demo unit sends four independent polyphonic CV signals to four analog oscillators, with four Gate outputs controlling four separate envelopes.

Each oscillator has its own character, while four individual LFOs modulate the dynamics of four LPGs.

The result is a fully polyphonic performance controlled directly from YOLA's multi-touch MPE interface.

Demo 2 — YOLA + GMXE 700 Voice

A second YOLA demo unit is connected to a GMXE 700 Voice via MIDI.

After approximately two minutes, the system switches into CV recording mode for another test.

About YOLA

YOLA is a multi-touch MPE control terminal designed for expressive electronic music performance.

It provides:

Multi-finger MPE control
4-dimensional expressive control mapping
USB MIDI and CV connectivity
Dedicated Arpeggiator and Sequencer modes
Individual expression control for notes in Arp and Seq modes
Magnetic expansion interface
CV expansion modules for Buchla and Eurorack systems
More expansion modules and functions planned for the future

YOLA is designed not only as an MPE controller, but as a flexible control interface for modular synthesizers, standalone instruments, and experimental electronic music systems.

We will continue releasing more YOLA test videos and experiments.

Official release is currently planned for November 2026.
