Frequently Asked Questions
The 'Momentary' button activates the programmed effect for a short burst, allowing for quick, dynamic transitions or subtle textures that are otherwise always present.
While both feedback paths build on each other, they are individually controllable via their respective Feedback and Regen knobs, offering a surprising degree of sonic sculpting.
While mastering it takes time, the tap tempo and preset selection make it usable live, but it's best suited for players who enjoy tweaking and experimenting with sounds.
