Up to 12 programmable keyboard zones for splits and layers
Controllers
Exclusive Patch Select buttons for instant access to 4 sound variations within each Program or Sampled Sound

Sustain waveforms with harmonic and inharmonic structures
TransWave_ spectral interpolation waves with real time modulation
Modulatable start point, forward or backward playback, and multi-sample key shift available on most waves
