Frequently Asked Questions
The Solo offers the core sequencing functionality in a desktop format, sacrificing some of the expanded modulation and I/O found in the full module.
Absolutely! It's designed for standalone operation, providing robust CV/Gate outputs to control other hardware.
It's definitely on the more involved side. While the interface is well-designed, expect a learning curve as you explore its extensive modulation capabilities.
