Imagine firing up a synth that doubles down on the classic FM magic of its predecessor, now packing 16 voices across 16 tracks for lush, multitimbral layers that feel boundless. This evolution brings fresh synthesis engines like Wavetone for organic wavetable vibes, Swarmer for swirling textures, plus refined FM Tone and FM Drum options, all powered by four digital oscillators per voice.
Its compact steel chassis measures just 8.5 x 6.9 x 2.5 inches and weighs around 3.3 lbs, making it a sturdy desktop powerhouse with a crisp 128x64 OLED screen, hi-res encoders, and poly aftertouch for expressive play. Dive into six filter types—multi-mode, lowpass 4, EQ, comb variations, and legacy options—plus a flexible base width filter you can reposition in the chain, three LFOs per track (that's 48 total), and dedicated ADSR or AHD envelopes. The sequencer shines with 128 steps per pattern, Euclidean generators, arpeggiators, parameter locks, and song mode, while send effects like saturator delay, supervoid reverb, panoramic chorus, overdrive, and compressor add polish. Dual balanced audio ins/outs, headphone jack, full MIDI I/O, USB, and Overbridge integration keep it connected.
Players love how it nails intricate beats and melodies in DAWless setups, praising the expanded polyphony and modulation depth for everything from ambient drifts to punchy rhythms—though some note the learning curve for its dense workflow rewards patient explorers.
