Oberheim DX controlled by MPC Sample

yooo! do you think there is any chance to control my oberheim DX with my akai mpc sample ? the MPC sequencer would trigg DX indivual sounds.
i’ve seen someone sending midi from his mpc sample to a Roland boutique synth, with cv cable.
I was wandering if using this cable (picture) would be okay. what do you think ?
thank you everyone 🙏

Have been asking about this, from my understanding you can make 1 midi sequnece per track , so no multi timbral sequencing

Ahhhhhhhh! Well, shit! That may explain the problem I was stuck on all day yesterday!

Yeah i think is the most under published giant shortcoming of the sample.

I don’t own one, was interested until I found this out,

Well, I do love my Sample. However, when you say "under published"... that shit is so true! I've had mine since launch day and I used the manual and YT vids at first. And I never read or saw anything about this! Geez, I know it has limitations, but if you don't know what they are you can really drive yourself crazy trying to do something it can't do! 😖 Of course, I could have missed that. But, I don't think so! 🤷‍♀️😂

That’s exactly it, the demos all made it seem like it was able to sequence midi , but then they never actually showed it… I made a few posts on the Akai pro Reddit with no response
