Featuring audio playback of MP3s and CD audio with onboard file browsing it comes loaded with seven digital effects and a new real time pattern sequencer for drum machine style performance. This comes by way of the new trigger pads which combine with loop points to create trigger sequences for instant remixing and re-editing of tracks.
