When we first saw this video we were wondering if True Cuckoo actually liked MODX! Turns out after spending time with the instrument he found it very useful for, as he puts it, the “keyboard player on tour”. This is a really great video because he digs into the user interface, creates a Performance using a combination of preset waveforms and custom samples, shows how he uses an iPad for notes and music cues and then plays through the song! This is a pretty unique product video because it shows a real world use for MODX. Check it out below:
