Two keyboard layers, A and B, each take a sound from the installed banks (pianos, electric pianos, pads, strings, brass and choir) and play in Single, Split or Layer mode. It has an arpeggiator, an effects rack with Space, Delay, Motion and Comp, and performance knobs for dynamics, width, drive, air, punch and bloom.

vSynth

A sixteen-voice synthesizer with two oscillators (saw, square or sine), a low-pass or high-pass filter, an amplitude envelope and an LFO. It makes its sound itself, needs no sound library, and opens with six built-in presets.
