I bought my mpc x last February and just started building my eurorack just this month and the cv outs do not work at all. I have looked on other boards and other people have had this problem as well and i found no solutions. I have emailed akai support 5 times or so and have yet to hear back from them once. I don't see a search function on this website to see if anybody else has posted about it. If anyone knows anything about this or is having the same problem, let me hear from you, PLEASE.

MPC X uses the 0-5v range on CV. On your Eurorack, what device/CV module are you using? Does it accept 0-5v?

Yeah, was going to ask if you've got an oscilloscope... you'll want to check to see if you're getting any signal first. Eurorack isn't exactly plug and play...

What are you trying to output for a signal, gate, pitch, velocity?

What device are you outputting to? Just curious... because I've definitely been able to use it, though there are a few caveats I have found... such as the gate isn't quite enough to trigger some devices, and requires a boost from an amplifier of some sort to get into the range some devices respond to.
