• Ultrawide stereo: Adjustable oscillator, filter, and LFO spread for immersive sound.
• Standalone vibrato: Dedicated section for musical vibrato effects.

• Expressive controls: Map velocity and aftertouch to any parameter.
• TAE® emulation: Duplicates vintage analog circuit behavior for authentic sound.

Preset highlights:
