- their duration
- distribution
- repetitions
- volume and timing for each track using the encoder
- Algorithm-supported functions for creating harmonies
- chords and progressions
- 4 Definable parameter automations per track as well as random modulations of parameters
- Real-time operation and programming via 18 push encoders and 23 illuminated pads

- • Intuitive encoder-based programming feels surprisingly natural and fast.
- • The Euclidean rhythms create instantly compelling, complex patterns.
- • 16 tracks offer substantial sequencing depth for intricate arrangements.
- • Built-in random modulation adds organic movement and avoids robotic repetition.
- • Limited polyphony per track might frustrate some complex melodic sequencing.
- • The workflow, while intuitive, has a learning curve for non-sequencer users.
- • Lacks CV/Gate outputs, restricting integration with older analog gear.
