Frequently Asked Questions
It's not a direct clone, but it captures a similar warmth and responsiveness. The EG2 is a bit more focused and quicker overall, lacking the subtle sag of the 921.
While it can create longer envelopes, its sweet spot is for more immediate, percussive or mid-range envelope shapes; extremely long decays will feel somewhat limited.
It's useful for basic rhythmic shaping, but the stepped adjustment isn't as precise as a dedicated gate sequencer, so it's best for subtle timing tweaks rather than complex patterns.
