Frequently Asked Questions
The ISE-NIN’s sync is enhanced, offering both hard and soft sync modes for a wider range of timbres and textures than the original’s single sync type.
While no onboard effects are present, this encourages a more considered signal chain and allows for greater creative control with external processors.
The aftertouch implementation is genuinely responsive and adds a significant layer of expressiveness, making it far more than just a novelty feature.
