- High-Resolution Control: All physical controllers—including the Super Knob, Pitch Bend, and Mod Wheel—utilize high-resolution data for ultra-smooth transitions and precise modulation.
- Professional DAW Integration: A built-in multichannel 10-out/4-in USB audio interface and MIDI 2.0 compatibility bridge the gap between your hardware and your favorite production software.
- And Many More Professional Upgrades:
