Frequently Asked Questions
Behringer has done a commendable job recreating the core sonic character, though subtle differences in component quality will be noticeable to seasoned Solina owners.
While primarily a string machine, the chorus and phase shifter offer some creative possibilities for textures, but it's not a deeply versatile sound design tool.
The 70HP format makes integration easy, but its limited MIDI capabilities mean you'll rely more on CV and gate for sequencing and modulation.
