What it does

Made for the whole bar.

It swells in, keeps moving while held, crosses into the next chord, survives mono, and leaves room for the bass and the voice.

Four layers, one pad.

Analog, six-operator FM, plucked string or vocal tract, each with its own key range and velocity window, playing as one instrument.

It moves without looping.

LFOs per voice drift a chord’s notes apart; global LFOs move it as one. The display shows the last ten seconds of motion, so you see whether a patch is alive.

Wide, and it survives mono.

The Correlation readout warns you the moment left and right start to cancel, and Mono below keeps the bottom centered.
