The ATX1 is a seriously good-sounding core oscillator, especially if you're chasing that classic analog warmth. The ART mode is a really cool twist, letting you explore evolving textures, but it takes a bit of practice to tame. Perfect for experimental sound design and patching in any Eurorack setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
The ART mode is a simplified version of what you find in the Zorga, offering a taste of its timbre-shifting capabilities without the complexity of multiple modulation inputs.
Yes, tracking is generally very good, but extreme CV voltages beyond +/-5V can introduce slight inaccuracies, typical for analog designs of this type.
Absolutely; the sawtooth waveform is punchy and well-defined, making it a solid choice for bass duties, though you'll need to manage the tuning with careful CV application.
