Engage tapestop, looper, reverb or filter at any time to give your beats that otherworldly feel and create stunning breaks.
All sequencers are polyrhythmic now with independent clock dividers, the slicer got a monophonic mode, we added scales to the bass, powerful mod sources to the filter and a Pan control for the HiHats.The internal Part/Song sequencer lets you sketch your pattern progressions and line out your next track.
