Frequently Asked Questions
It creates a wider, more immersive stereo image; sounds feel more 'placed' in space and have a greater sense of depth, particularly noticeable with pads and evolving textures.
While digital oscillators are involved, the core analog filter and modulation matrix create a character difficult to precisely emulate in software; the synergy is key to the Super 6’s sound.
Absolutely; the 64-step sequencer offers enough resolution for intricate patterns, and MIDI sync allows for integration with external sequencing hardware or software.
