The Drive function offers five types of overdrive and distortion to add depth to your sound.
Effects 1 and 2 offer modulation effects such as chorus, flanger and phaser. Time-based effects such as Delay and Reverb, as well as Wah effects, Drive, Tremolo and experimental synthesis effects such as Ring Modulation, Slicer, Lo-Fi, and more. Not to mention EQ. With 36 effects in all, it's like having a built-in, customisable pedalboard.
The CK lets you split, layer, mix and process everything from the front panel. So it's easy to create an almost infinite combination of sounds. Separate bass and piano. Layered organ with strings. Experiment with modern synthetic sounds. The CK offers you three parts that let the music go wherever you want.
Analogue/digital (A/D) inputs let you apply two dedicated effects to the audio and store them in a LIVE SET.
The filter and envelope generator (EG) have dedicated controls for the most commonly used synth parameters and a dedicated bypass button for quickly returning to the default state. You have total control over shaping your sound.
The CK goes wireless with Bluetooth audio to accept tracks from your phone or bandmates. You can even use the built-in speakers to play a melody or launch tracks from your phone.
