The instrument can be also used as a powerful mixer, arranger, and sampler for full creative control over the tracks, and offers classic groovebox features including 16 pad velocity levels, swing, pad link, note repeat, step sequencer, and vintage MPC60/SP1200 sampling emulation. The dual-touch Smart Strip allows user to slide his fingers to strum instruments, bend sounds, perform FX, and more, while the push encoder and screen can be used for browsing, navigating, adjusting volume levels and panning, and controlling parameters. The instrument’s software can be used on its own or as a VST, Audio Unit, or AAX plug-in in all major DAWs (including Ableton Live, Pro Tools, Logic Pro, and FL Studio).

It provides four ways to input sound using the 16 large, velocity-sensitive pads, providing four modes: Pad mode for drumming, Keyboard mode for playing melodies, Chord mode for creating chord progressions, and Step mode for programming in a classic step-sequencer style. This model is more streamlined, simple and more expressive than the previous versions, featuring bigger pads, Smart Strip and dedicated buttons for commonly used functions.
