Frequently Asked Questions
The aftertouch is responsive but more subtle than some deeper synth keyboards; it's more of a gentle modulation than a drastic parameter shift.
Absolutely, the Juno-X is fully MIDI compatible via USB, allowing you to leverage external controllers for deeper sound shaping.
While ZEN-Core is powerful, its architecture leans towards a curated sonic palette; complex, granular synthesis isn't its strength, but plenty of unique sounds are achievable.
