Frequently Asked Questions
It's noticeably better; Erica Synths has really nailed the tuning stability, making it a reliable core for complex patches.
While the integrated LFOs are excellent, you can absolutely use external CV sources to modulate the waveshaper for even more dynamic sounds.
It's a well-implemented sub-octave, retaining the character of the primary waveform, making it quite usable for basslines and subharmonics.
