Frequently Asked Questions
Touching the brass contacts alters the circuit’s resistance, creating subtle but noticeable shifts in tone and modulation depth – it’s a genuinely tactile and expressive element.
The distortion is surprisingly musical; it adds grit and body rather than a digital harshness, making it suitable for a wide range of applications.
The normalization is very extensive, offering far more patching options than most modules, but requires a deeper understanding of modular patching to fully utilize.
