Frequently Asked Questions

Pressure sensitivity adds a dynamic layer, modulating CV signals to create expressive swells, filters, or other parameter changes in your modular system.
The capacitive design is generally quite responsive, but careful calibration and playing technique minimize accidental triggers. It’s more deliberate than a traditional keyboard.
No, it outputs CV/Gate signals, designed for modular synthesis. You'd need a CV-to-MIDI converter to interface with standard MIDI gear.
