03In depth

Organic and Synth Sounds in One Instrument

The organic side draws on recordings of tuned cowbells, upright bass, crotales and harps, captured at 48 kHz and 24-bit. Unique ensembles layer instruments such as tuned dinner bells, stringed oil cans and plucked guitar played in unison. The synth side covers analog-style patches built from modular rigs, with sounds ranging from serene to harsh.

Each preset can be shaped with per-channel tune, pan, level and EQ, plus a four-band master EQ. Filter modulation can be driven by an envelope or an LFO, and you can adjust the amount and rate of the LFO directly.

Arpeggiator, Trigger FX and Performance Controls

The advanced arpeggiator lets you build melodic and rhythmic phrases with up to 128 steps across eight linkable patterns per preset. You control time signature, straight or triplet subdivisions, note duration, pitch and velocity, along with retrigger, glide, poly or mono playback and octave randomizing.

Three levels of effects can be applied globally through four master effects, triggered in real time with the Advanced Trigger FX, or used on individual sounds. The Punish knob adds saturation, distortion and compression, and the Twist knob reshapes the character of the sound.
