What Mini-Vision does

  • WTSYNTH plays two wavetable layers from 63 tables, with POSITION, MIX, OCT2, RANGE, a sine-fold wave shaper and phase modulation.
  • Its filter offers LP12, BP12, HP12, LP24, BP24, HP24 and three ladder low passes, with CUT, RES, KEY and DRIVE.
  • An oscillator AD envelope moves position and mix, alongside the track's ENV, LFO, four-slot modulation matrix and FX pages.
  • TR808 gives sixteen drum voices in five kits, with TUNE, DECY, SNAP, drive, velocity depth and per-voice levels.
  • Six tracks share eight voices and 64 steps each, with chords, ties, accent, slide, chance, ratchets, parameter locks and live loop recording.
  • Stochastic and Euclid modes draw steps as they play, and LOCK writes a drawn pass into the pattern for editing.
  • Chord keys, an arpeggiator, 16 scales with a white-key mode, glide and MONO, LEGATO or UNISON shape how you play.
  • Save to 32 user preset slots and four projects named on the device, chain them in songs, and connect USB MIDI, USB audio and TRS MIDI.
