Frequently Asked Questions

Z-axis introduces a third dimension, allowing for more intricate and unpredictable wavetable movement based on CV signals, creating far more organic and evolving textures.
Given the module's shallow depth, accessing the SD card slot might require some careful routing and planning within a crowded Eurorack setup – it’s not always conveniently located.
While Plaits is versatile, the Piston Honda's Thru-Zero-FM and especially the Z-axis modulation provide a more aggressive, industrial-leaning sound palette, offering a different kind of sonic complexity.
