Frequently Asked Questions
The morphée controller isn’t just a modulation wheel; it’s a 3-axis device allowing simultaneous, seamless crossfading between two complete presets, offering far more nuanced and complex real-time changes.
While capable, the sequencer's 64-step resolution and limited track count are best suited for loops, textures, and building soundscapes rather than intricate, multi-track compositions.
The PolyBrute has a distinct, 'brutish' character – a raw, aggressive edge compared to the smoother, more refined tones of Moog instruments, but it's still warm and very musical.
