On board there are 32 oscillators with a two-pole resonant filter, the frequency range of which can be tuned from low to high frequencies in a band-pass version.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/140025d-6d5c-4372-922d-2337a7ee4dac.jpg\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1046\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Special curves can be used for filter, gain and modulation.\u00a0There are two Low Frequency Oscillators (LFOs), one of which is polyphonic.<\/p>\n<p>The synthesizer does not directly support MIDI Polyphonic Expression, but connecting a compatible controller will allow you to get a budget option already with the capabilities of a musical instrument.\u00a0All this is complemented by an arpeggiator function, a 256-step sequencer and built-in distortion and delay effects.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stereoindex.com\/tech\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/4ff220c-1f25-457a-a30f-5a7386079167.jpg\" width=\"1920\" height=\"577\" \/><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The novelty is connected via MIDI and USB, there is a headphone control, supplemented by an analog line-out, as well as an analog sync input and output.\u00a0The novelty can also be used autonomously &#8211;
