What's New
New Unison Voices: This feature allows you to add multiple voice layers to each note played, creating a fuller and richer sound. You can choose from 1 to 16 voices, where each additional voice adds complexity and depth to the sound. For the best effect, use this with the spread control set at half or higher to clearly distinguish the layered voices. This parameter is ideal for enhancing pads, leads, and basslines, offering a thicker, more immersive sonic character.
