Morph

  • Dynamic Control: Morph one or more continuous parameters using keyboard velocity and/or the Modulation Wheel or Control Pedal.
  • Impulse Morphs: Activate up to 7 unique morph settings with a combination of 3 Impulse Morph buttons, offering extensive creative possibilities.

Master Clock

  • Synchronization: LFO rates, Arpeggio rate, and Delay time can be synchronized to an internal or external MIDI clock.
  • Rhythmic Divisions: Selectable rhythmic divisions for precise timing.

Mutator

  • Automatic Program Generator: Generates programs automatically with adjustable style and strength, enhancing creativity and sound design.

Keyboard and Performance

  • Velocity-Sensitive Keyboard: 49 keys with octave shift buttons, +/-2 octaves.
  • Voice Modes: Poly, Legato with portamento, Mono, True Unison 1, 2 & 3.
  • Keyboard Split: Two slots for upper and lower sections for flexible performance setups.
  • Pitch Stick and Modulation Wheel: Keyboard version includes a Pitch Stick with no dead zone and a Modulation Wheel for expressive control.

Oscillator Section

  • Oscillators: OSC 1 with sine, triangle, sawtooth, fixed and modulateable pulse waveforms, and 128 wavetables. OSC 2 with triangle, sawtooth, fixed and modulateable pulse waveforms or noise.
  • Osc Mod: Hard and Soft sync with 3 different frequency modulations of OSC 1 from OSC 2.

Filter Section

  • Multi-Mode Filter: Includes 12 dB (2-pole), 24 dB (4-pole), and 48 dB (6-pole) low pass, band pass, high pass, and various ladder characteristics.
