Through envelope control, these resonators can produce everything from short percussive sounds to long, drawn-out sustained notes. The design allows you to easily swap and tune resonators, letting you customise the scale and character of your phase8.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePolymetric rhythm sequencer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn intuitive sequencer supports both step programming and unquantized live recording.
