The unique and versatile sound palette allows you to utilise a wide range of tones and sounds, thanks to the blend of both percussive and melodic parameters. The six machines refer to the six main buttons labelled from T1 - T6.
Each Machine utilises the powerful digital FM engine to provides a hybrid of both percussion and melodic synth elements. This allows you to create unique, full and varied compositions on the fly. The synth controls are comprised of four core tools, providing the means to take tones and sounds to the very limit. Each sound starts life as something unique, wherever you want to take it is completely up to you and easily achieved using the wide variety of controls.
