Experience 4 breathtaking waveforms each full of power and volume - But what is better than one oscillator? Right - Another one! Just one switch away and you are able to play two notes with one key, no problemo! Or set both oscillators to the same pitch and feel the power of two voices combined!

But hold on - Of course you can also create wonderful chords with it - We won't let you down, no matter what type of noise you want to create!

  1. I can't say I have ever seen a soldering iron and an airbrush on the same table. The button and knob noises are a bit over-emphasised but otherwise it's OK.
