Imagine a desktop synth that packs the punch of a full studio hub into a sleek 322 x 174 x 76 mm walnut-accented chassis weighing just 2kg—perfect for creators who want big sounds without the bulk.
At its heart is the XVA engine delivering 24 stereo voices across 4 multitimbral parts, blending virtual analog and wavetable synthesis with unique twists like a 64-band resonator oscillator for physical modeling vibes, algorithmic waveforms that morph on the fly, and Serum-compatible wavetables up to 256 frames deep. Dual stereo multimode filters (10 models), a waveform shaper, 4 ADSRs, 3 syncable LFOs, and a deep 24-slot mod matrix let you sculpt anything from lush pads to gritty leads, all assignable via macro knobs and a crisp 5-inch touchscreen. The clip launcher shines with 7 tracks—4 synth parts, drums, and 2 external MIDI—for Ableton-style performance, plus per-part arps/sequencers, 14 drum instruments, and a 19-channel mixer with stereo FX stacks (reverb, delay, distortion, more) that processes external audio too. Connectivity is generous: stereo I/O, headphone out, DIN MIDI I/O/Thru, USB host for controllers like Launchpads, pedals, and a web interface for preset/sample management over 14GB storage.
Players love its preset compatibility with the larger MD900, calling out the responsive touch interface and poly aftertouch for expressive play, though some note the learning curve for its dense feature set rewards dedicated tweaking.
