Frequently Asked Questions
While not entirely zero, the latency is minimal and generally unnoticeable in most musical contexts, especially when used with a good quality power supply.
It prioritizes a warmer, more organic tone than many digital octavers, sacrificing some extreme range for a more musical and less processed sound – think vintage synth vibe rather than pristine digital reproduction.
It works well with both, although the lower frequencies of a bass might require some tweaking of the Mix control to avoid muddiness. It's a versatile little box.
