The device comes with 64 presets from the original JD-800 hardware and offers 256 memory locations for user-created patches.
Palette Controls
The PALETTE section provides assignable sliders for each of the four tones (TONE A, TONE B, TONE C, TONE D). These can be used to control various parameters, such as individual tone levels, allowing for dynamic mixing of layered sounds.
Sequencer
The integrated two-part polyphonic step sequencer offers 64 steps with up to 8 notes per part. It supports motion recording, enabling the capture of complex parameter changes within your patterns.
Modeu Sequencer
- Teraskeun: Plays the sequence from beginning to end.
- Balikkeun: Plays the sequence in reverse order.
- Acak: Plays sequence steps in a randomized order, providing continuous variations.
Balukar
