Frequently Asked Questions
The FPGA provides incredible flexibility but has a slightly cleaner, more controlled character than a purely analog oscillator, offering a unique blend of precision and warmth.
Absolutely – you can easily disable one layer to operate as a simpler, 16-voice polyphonic synth, though you'd be missing out on a lot of its potential.
The aftertouch is quite sensitive and responsive, providing a nuanced level of expression, and while consistent, it does require some practice to master its full range.
