Frequently Asked Questions

The Wave offers a similar core wavetable engine, but lacks the Blofeld’s extensive filter options and overall refinement, though it makes up for it in sheer feature density and routing possibilities.
The aftertouch is responsive enough for both subtle vibrato and more pronounced modulation, though it may require some experimentation to dial in your preferred sensitivity.
While programming can be detailed, the 22 controllers and OLED display help with live adjustments, but it's not as immediate as a purely knob-based interface – practice is key.
