Frequently Asked Questions

The aftertouch is present, but it's more subtle than a traditional keyboard due to the mini-key size. It's a nice touch, but don’t expect the expressive range of a larger keybed.
Absolutely! The multiple CV/Gate/Mod outputs and drum gate connections make it a breeze to control and sync with modular gear.
The basic sequencing is straightforward, but mastering the advanced features like polyrhythms and time shifting will require some practice and experimentation.
