Frequently Asked Questions

Rides In The Storm's implementation feels more genuinely unpredictable, not just a simple 'ping-pong' effect, offering more organic rhythmic variation.
Absolutely, each track's CV output can control a separate oscillator, allowing for complex polyrhythmic textures and layered soundscapes.
The display is adequately bright and clear, though some users may prefer a higher contrast option for extremely low-light conditions – it's functional but not dazzling.
