- 16 tracks (8 audio + routing): Eight stereo audio tracks plus four bus tracks, three send tracks, and one master mix track for complex mixing setups
- 256-step sequencer per track: Each track has its own sequencer with parameter locks, varied pattern lengths, micro-timing, arpeggiator, velocity control, and trig modes for expressive sequencing
- Rich modulation options: Two assignable LFOs and two effect LFOs per audio track, envelopes and filters per track/subtrack, plus modulation sources like mod wheel, pitch bend, aftertouch
- Wide array of effects onboard: Includes Infinite Flanger, Phase 98, Rumsklang Reverb, Chrono Pitch, Dirtshaper, Supervoid Reverb among others; effects can be applied per track, send or bus
- Flexible I/O & build quality: Balanced audio inputs and outputs, stereo headphone jack, dual USB-C ports, SD card storage, OLED display, steel chassis for durability
