Frequently Asked Questions

The aftertouch is present but subtle, more of a gentle pressure response than the expressive, nuanced control found on more expensive instruments.
Yes, the 5-pin DIN MIDI-Out allows connection to older synths or MIDI interfaces, expanding its compatibility.
The velocity-sensitive pads are responsive, but the plastic construction might feel less premium than those on higher-end controllers – still perfectly usable for most sampling needs.
