Frequently Asked Questions
It’s a very different experience; there's no key resistance, requiring a different technique to control pitch accurately, and it's more about glides and expressive bends.

While it shares the filter design, the overall sonic character is a simplified version – it captures the essence but lacks the depth and complexity of the full-sized synths.
