KEY PERFORMANCE FEATURES
GENERATIVE 16-STEP SEQUENCER

- Musical Scale Algorithms: Patterns are tuned using modal scales including Minor Pentatonic, Dorian, and Phrygian modes for dancefloor cohesion.
- Expressive Articulation: Injects authentic legato slides, tied notes, dynamic velocity accents, and octave jumps across 16 steps.
- Real-Time Step Monitor: Multi-state LED matrix provides visual feedback for note gates, accents, active slide ties, and playback position.
XY TOUCH PAD SOUND DESIGN
- Dual-Axis Filter Modulation: Sweep resonant filter cutoff along the X-axis and resonance along the Y-axis simultaneously in real time.
- Dynamic Visual Motion: Fluid ribbons and spark particles follow touch gestures with instantaneous visual feedback.
- Screaming Resonance: Push filter resonance into self-oscillation for piercing leads, squelches, and deep sub-bass.
ANALOG-MODELED DSP ENGINE
