Frequently Asked Questions

The GHC is noticeably lighter and less complex than NWX, lacking the escapement mechanism, but it still offers a graded weighting that's a step above basic synth actions.
Bluetooth latency can be present, so it's best to test it with your specific devices; wired connections are always preferable for critical timing.
VRM Lite is a modeling engine, not a direct sample, so it has a slightly different character – a bit less detail but still a very convincing representation of the CFX sound.
