Frequently Asked Questions

Delta introduces a random frequency deviation to channels 2-4, creating subtle, organic variations around the master rate. This is great for adding a bit of unpredictability to your modulation.
Yes, the Vintage Edition uses older components, so you might perceive a slightly higher noise floor, but it’s usually manageable and often adds character.
No, the A-147-5 VE lacks external clock synchronization; it’s a free-running oscillator.
