Sound Library and Synthesis Engine

The library holds more than 28 minutes of source audio, organized into Bass, FX, Hoover, Multi, Organ, Stab 1–3, Drums and Synth 1–2 categories. Multi-sample support is used where needed, so patches keep their character across the keyboard.

The synth core offers 11 filter types, including Roland-style and Moog-style 24 dB lowpass models, TB-303-style lowpass, and dedicated Juno-6 and Juno-106 filter models. Three independent ADSR envelopes handle amp, filter and pitch, and the LFO provides eight waveforms with nine modulation destinations.

Effects, Arpeggiator and Performance Controls

Supersaw unison uses up to nine voices with JP-8000 frequency ratios, and a second symmetric detune system adds up to 700 cents of spread. The 14-pattern arpeggiator, inspired by the SH-101, offers classic Up, Down and Up/Down patterns with nine tempo divisions and adjustable gate length.

The effects chain includes six chorus modes, a switchable Ping-Pong/Stereo delay with tempo sync, and algorithmic reverb with ducking. Poly/Mono operation, portamento, stereo width up to 200%, and Bass/Mid/Treble tone controls complete the performance section.
