Key Features and Unique Capabilities
- Includes 21 filter types, from classic ladder filters to comb and vowel-based formants

- Built-in distortion module: three analog-style overdrives and four digital flavors, assignable pre- or post-filter
- Four modulation sources: Envelope Follower, LFO (13 shapes), Step Sequencer, and a dedicated Wobble Generator
- Flexible routing: mod sources can also modulate each other for layered, evolving motion
