Description
Each instrument features three sound engines: AWM2, FM-X and AN-X, with a combined total polyphony of 268 notes split as 128 for AWM2 and for FM-X, and 12 for AN-X.
All are touch sensitive but have no keyboard aftertouch. However, there are a number of controls built in including motion sequencing, super knob for controlling many modulations with single gestures, envelope follower, and more.
There are eight faders, four knobs, four pedal inputs and six display knobs, offering a myriad of flexible options for controlling many parameters.
Many of the controls, including super knob, pitch bend, mod wheel and sound engine, are now high definition, meaning sound shaping and control is smoother than on previous synths.
The AN-X sound engine integrated into the motion control system offers expressive, unique analog sounds, and features two filters, 10 filter types, pulse width modulation, oscillator self sync, ring modulation, FM and wave shaper, wave folder, and voltage drift/aging settings to simulate vintage synth behaviour.
AWM2 features realistic sounds, with up to 128 elements per part for enhanced layering and articulations.
Onboard is double the memory over the MODX/MODX+, with 10.7GB of AWM2 memory and 1.9GB of user flash memory.
Navigation controls have been updated to enable quick, intuitive sound editing and operation. Features include a colour touch screen, six display knobs, and stereo A/D input with two insertion effects.
Connectivity is improved, with USB MIDI 2.0 and multichannel 10 out/4 in audio interface at 44.1kHz.
