The usual beat button and rotary dial controls one of the LFOs while a second LFO's speed can be controlled via the X-Pad. It also enables dual control of LFOs when using the Filter, Phase and Flanger sweeps.
This makes ultra fast triggering a breeze and clever trills and fills feel natural and tight and it's not long before you become accustomed to it. Slide your finger to the left to increase the rapidity of rolls or the speed of a flanger and so on. This simple but effective touch-strip enables single finger control and triggering of effects. Possibly the most exciting feature of all these effects is the new ability to control them using the touch sensitive X-Pad. Meanwhile Melodic lets you snatch a beat of audio and then transpose that samples' pitch like you would if you were playing it over a keyboard - fantastically creative when playing with acapellas or sparse musical moments. Spiral is probably the most interesting of these, being a type of pitched delay. The right of the mixer also sports beat effects with Reverb, Spiral, Slip Roll, Melodic and MIDI LFO all new additions. The dub echo is reminiscent of an old tape delay effect with timing controls of the speed of the delay while the gate/comp effects mimic a hard-sidechained gate and is fantastic for tightening up mixes when blending a particularly chaotic or overly percussive outro with a minimal intro. While the space effect creates its own version of the dramatic build and pause to huge effect, with gorgeously glossy reverb tails continuing long after the signal is cut, if desired. First up is the noise oscillator, the brilliance of which comes from the ability to assign it to a separate channel (even if it's not playing back audio) and have the option for sweeps and build effects at your leisure.
