Frequently Asked Questions

The stylus feels less responsive than a proper pad, offering a softer, more muted impact – it’s more about texture than precision.
Yes, the 3.5mm output allows connection to a DAW, but expect a line-level signal that may require gain adjustment.
Unfortunately, the sounds are pre-programmed and non-editable; you're stuck with the included sound banks.
