- Versatile playback modes: One-shot, toggle, gate, clip mode, slicer mode and granular mode cover everything from rhythmic content to evolving soundscapes.
- Recording and resampling: Record stereo audio directly into the module, use threshold or clock-synced triggering, and resample the master output when building complex layers.
- Deep CV, gate and MIDI integration: Eight configurable inputs plus multiple output routings allow modulation, triggering, clocking and sending audio to three stereo or six mono outputs.
- Touchscreen control: A responsive touchscreen enables quick editing, fast navigation and hands-on performance interaction.
