• Two band limited oscillators (minblep).
• Ringmod, sync.
• Real glide.
• Multimode filter, self oscillation possible, real keyboard tracking.
• Two envelopes, two low frequency oscillators.
• Modular modulation.
• Per-sample modulation and glide.
• Per-voice distortion with static filter.
• Quite fast, very high quality.
• Perfect note logic (mono/low/high/last/poly to 16 voices).
• Correctly implemented round robin voice stealing, other modes planned.
• Free for free use, commercial licence planned, restricted for now.
