Eight voice analog drum machine and sampler.
For ultimate creative versatility, you can layer digital samples on top of analog synthesis. Capture your own sounds, or use pre-recorded material, to make these fused beats as smooth, as rough, as realistic, or as fantastic as you’d like.
Then process that ear-watering combination through analog filters and overdrive on each track for jaw-dropping results. To finish off, send all 12 tracks through the Analog Distortion and Compressor circuits while adding shimmer and glitter with the digital send FXs. The Dual VCO synth engine adds a whole other bass or melodic level to your compositions.
