Frequently Asked Questions

The Acid filter is more aggressive and resonant than Novation's 'Classic' filter, leaning towards a more distorted, TB-303 style sound.
Absolutely! It has a built-in sequencer, arpeggiator, and plenty of presets for standalone operation, though MIDI connectivity expands its capabilities.
While the plastic case is lightweight and convenient, a rugged gig bag or hard case is recommended for frequent transport to protect it from bumps and scratches.
