A unique crossover synth that combines the warmth of Analogue with the versatility of Digital synthesis.
First, there’s a four-part, all-analog monster with true analog filters and a direct dry output. There’s also is a four-part digital engine powered by Roland’s SuperNATURAL synth technology, plus an impressive selection of potent effects.
