Frequently Asked Questions

The filter is based on the Rev 4 Prophet 5 design, so it shares a similar sonic character, but the dual VCOs and additional features offer a broader palette.
While capable, the sequencer is more suited for straightforward patterns and sequences; dedicated step sequencing solutions offer more advanced features.
The aftertouch provides pressure-sensitive modulation, typically used to control parameters like filter cutoff or vibrato for expressive performance.
