Frequently Asked Questions
The exponential waveform introduces a more dynamic attack phase, resulting in a smoother, more organic feel compared to a linear response.
While possible, it's not its forte; shorter decay/release times are achievable, but a dedicated percussion module will offer more precise results.
Yes, the attenuators provide a reasonable range for subtle adjustments, though extreme modulation might require external attenuators for finer control.
