Frequently Asked Questions

The discrete filter design aims for authentic character, but subtle differences exist due to modern component tolerances and design choices – it’s close, but not a perfect clone.
It’s full polyphonic aftertouch, allowing for nuanced control over all voices simultaneously, unlike some synths with limited aftertouch functionality.
While the USB port provides MIDI functionality, it’s primarily for MIDI communication; direct sound editing via a computer interface isn’t currently supported.
