Desktop Control Synthesizer with Analog Physical Modeling (groove box)
Awesome synth desktop module/ groovebox. Compared to the Roland D2, which I’ll call “the good groovebox”, this is “the evil groovebox”. The patterns are very aggressive, stylish and actual. The 5-note polyphonic VA engine is very powerful and full. The drum sounds are also very good. Edgy and “underground”, this machine is perfect for Industrial, Techno, Electro and many other genres.
