Frequently Asked Questions

Vector synthesis blends multiple oscillators' waveforms, dynamically morphing between them, creating evolving textures unlike traditional methods.
The mini keys require a lighter touch and adjusted technique; players with larger hands might find them cramped for extended playing sessions.
While it lacks direct Eurorack integration, the MIDI connectivity and audio inputs/outputs allow for flexible routing and control within a modular environment.
