Frequently Asked Questions

It allows you to route an external audio signal through the module's analog filter and distortion stages, best suited for percussive sources like vocals or other drums needing character.
Grains refer to short bursts of audio, creating a granular, textured soundscape – think shimmering, evolving percussion or abstract sound effects.
While offering a good range of modulation, the CV control over the effects is more basic than a full-fledged effects module; it’s designed for rhythmic or evolving textures rather than precise, detailed shaping.
