Frequently Asked Questions
It's a basic implementation – not as nuanced as higher-end models, but noticeably better than non-velocity-sensitive keys. It allows for some dynamic control over volume and tone.
No, the six-track MIDI recording is a limitation. It's designed for simple song sketching, not complex arrangements.
The 16-bit stereo sampling is serviceable for basic sound manipulation, but don’t expect professional-grade fidelity for intricate sampling projects.
