Frequently Asked Questions
Unused channels will passively pass the signal from the previous channel, which can create subtle coloration or unwanted modulation if not managed carefully – be mindful of that.
Absolutely; the linear response provides clean, predictable fades and smooth dynamic control, ideal for gentle volume swells and more nuanced effects.
While it's a budget-friendly option, the Ceres handles audio signals cleanly and effectively; it won’t have the absolute pristine clarity of some premium modules but offers excellent value.
