Dedicated overdrive effect

Vintage control:

Emulates the characteristics of vintage synthesizers through parameter variations from voice to voice.

Aftertouch:

Source: Channel aftertouch (mono) with bipolar intensity control

Aftertouch can be freely assigned to multiple modulation destinations

Clock:

Master clock with tap tempo

BPM control and display

MIDI clock synchronisation

Arpeggiator:

Operating modes: up, down, oscillate, random, assignable

Synchronisation to MIDI clock

Relatch function while arpeggio is running

Sequencer:
