It features a 'Demon Core' Oscillator, (also available as a Eurorack module) that can utilize up to 16 analogue oscillators per voice with analogue waveforms generated under digital control. The filter is an analogue 4-pole variable character filter that is also digitally controlled to act like a range of classic vintage synthesizer filters.
