• Four tracks, DRUM, BASS, CHORD and LEAD, are chosen with the ALGORITHM encoder and always labelled on screen.
• Three presets, MIDNIGHT, NEON RUN and AFTER RAIN, load from the PRESETS encoder while playback is stopped.
• K1 to K4 act as BRIGHT, DENSITY, SPACE and MOTION performance macros on the home screen.
• The sequencer holds four banks of sixteen steps, with OCT and OCT+ setting a loop of 16, 32, 48 or 64.
• Each step carries its own pitch, velocity, length and probability, and REC captures live key playing into steps.
• PLAY starts and stops the arrangement from bar one, and the SELECT encoder sets tempo from 40 to 240 BPM.
• The MASTER potentiometer sets post-FX stereo output, and OCT and OCT+ shift the keyboard two octaves either way.
• Save slots live in RAM, so export an .nfpr project from the browser studio before powering off.
