Frequently Asked Questions
It offers a broader palette of sounds, with the digital engine expanding beyond traditional analog possibilities, but lacks the sometimes unpredictable warmth of a purely analog voice.
The polyphonic step sequencer is relatively straightforward, but the motion sequencer takes some getting used to – it's powerful, but the learning curve is steeper.
While convenient, the joystick's modulation range is more limited than assigning multiple knobs; it’s great for broad sweeps but less precise for subtle adjustments.
