An X/Y touchpad which has been inherited from the Kaossillator range of instruments, allows you to control a wealth of virtual instrument and synthesiser parameters and features a ‘Touch Scale’ function that lets you play phrases and patterns directly from the touchpad, just like a Kaoss pad. You can choose from a range of 16 different scales and specify the root note and note range to make sure your performance is always in the correct key and tone. A ‘Gate Arp’ function works to transmit note data based in the tempo settings on your DAW, and when combined with the Touch Scale mode the Gate Arp lets you play tempo-synchronised phrases and rhythms by simply stroking the X/Y pad.
