The DM12 is a tweaker’s paradise; all the sliders are fair game for playing as part of a live performance (or for recording as MIDI into your DAW). The pitchbend and mod wheels can also be assigned to multiple destinations in the mod matrix (as can aftertouch), plus there’s assignable foot pedal control (and sustain too). Experiment with routing velocity to filter, amp or other destinations too and for a more hands-off approach you can use the arpeggiator, LFOs, envelopes (and mod envelope) plus the ‘hold’ function and the handy ‘control sequencer’ for automating/evolving your sounds over steps/time.
