Details
The library includes twelve note sequencers, each with its own sound engine and a selection of six sound sources, such as sine waves, electric pianos, and hybrid instruments. Each sequencer can be customized with variable lengths and play rates, while five FX sequencer lanes per note enable real-time control over various effects parameters. The instrument supports two round-robin modes and dropout seeding for dynamic playback variations.
A unique scale and key quantizer allows for automation and real-time retuning, enhancing the instrument's versatility. The playback engines feature eleven algorithms for articulations, including flams and rolls, providing a rich palette for composers. Additionally, the reverb unit per note utilizes 122 custom impulse responses, creating both natural and imaginative spaces. The interface is designed for intuitive use, making it accessible for quick experimentation and creative exploration.
