Frequently Asked Questions
It's surprisingly expressive, but the smaller key size means less surface area for aftertouch application; takes some getting used to.
Absolutely, the CV/Gate outputs are a huge boon for modular integration, allowing for detailed control over various modules.
It's deep and feature-rich, so there's a learning curve, but Arturia provides decent tutorials and it's rewarding once you grasp the basics.
