Features
- Near perfect pitch & volume field linearity — right up to the antennas!
- Adjustable field sensitivities and offsets to accommodate any playing style.
- Volume field has a fully configurable gain break "knee" (to reduce "bird flapping").
- Wide gestural bandwidth precisely tracks your every hand movement.
- High antenna voltage swings provide large fields immune to most common forms of interference.
- 22nd order pitch & volume field digital filtering kills mains hum dead (50/60Hz).
- Instant auto-calibration of both pitch & volume fields.
- Zero lag LED "tuner" for real-time pitch & volume feedback during play.
- Full-featured chromatic pitch correction — from unobtrusive to hard quantization.
- Flexible pitch preview with many useful options and signal routing.
- Subtractive / modal synthesis engine with pitch & volume hand modulation.
- Inharmonic resonator produces drums, bells, gongs, human vocals, ambiance, and pseudo stereo.
- Envelope generator with velocity sense for staccato, plucked, and percussive effects.
- +/-3 octave register bank switch for instant access to a wide pitch range.
- MIDI out with CC, pitchbend range, trigger location, velocity, and octave controls.
- 250 voice preset slots and 6 system profile slots.
- ALL parameters fully adjustable via the front panel interface.
- Easy to own, zero internal adjustments.
- 100% Open Source.
