Born from the same digital heart as its larger sibling, this compact powerhouse squeezes eight voices of classic subtractive synthesis into a desktop module perfect for mobile rigs or tight studio spaces.
At its core, three oscillators per voice deliver 10 waveforms each, mixed with noise and ring mod before hitting a 12dB low-pass filter and a unique formant filter for vocal-like timbres. You'll find hands-on control via eight rotary knobs for osc mix, pitch, filter cutoff, resonance and more, plus eight pushbuttons, a rotary encoder, and a 16x2 backlit LCD for editing 448 overwriteable patches across 14 banks. It supports poly, mono, and mono-legato modes, with full MIDI implementation including MPE, realtime control, and connections like stereo audio outs, MIDI in/thru/out/USB, sustain pedal, and expression input—all powered by a 9V 600mA adapter in a slim 248x70x120mm frame.
Players love its punchy, versatile sound that punches above its size, earning praise for fat basses, evolving pads, and the formant filter's character, though some note the limited knobs push deeper tweaks to the menu.
