A personal favourite feature is the ability The deep yet speedy modulation workflow, multiple filter models and extensive FX section reallyĪllow you to get mix-ready and expressive sounds. Superbly, giving a very broad scope to the timbres that can be achieved. The feature sets of the wavetable and analog engines complement each other In recent years, he’s been helping toĭevelop and run “The Jumblies Project”, an inclusive interactive arts and education project in Production, instrument design, preset design, beta testing and creating wavetables for variousĬompanies including Arturia, Novation & Loopmasters.
