Frequently Asked Questions
It handles dynamic mics reasonably well, but very hot or low-output mics might still benefit from an external preamp for optimal signal-to-noise.
Yes, absolutely! The gate/trigger output is very responsive and can reliably trigger drums or other rhythmic events based on vocal input.
While decent, it's not a high-end, professional pitch tracker; it's best suited for simpler melodic lines and textures rather than intricate, fast passages.
