The library features a diverse range of single-note hits and loops, with 136 tempo-synced loops and multiple patches designed for tension-building and complex rhythmic beds. Each patch includes up to 20 dynamic layers and three round-robins, ensuring a natural and organic feel. The instrument is recorded with three mic positions, allowing for a tailored sound that can range from intimate to expansive.

Performance controls include an articulation switcher, adjustable custom impulse responses, and a channel strip for further mixing flexibility. The interface is designed for ease of use, with options for sound shaping and modulation, making it a versatile tool for creating unique textures and pulses. This library is particularly effective for layering under drones and pads, adding depth without overwhelming the primary elements of a score.
