Function that allows you play phrases (sequence of notes) back by pressing a single key.

Powerful tool for enhancing audio quality by improving resolution, reducing aliasing and phase distortion.

a proprietary digital amplifier modeling technology by Roland/ Boss.

Filter self-oscillation happens when the filter's resonance is increased to a point where it begins to generate a tone on its own, even without an input signal. This occurs because the filter's output is fed back into its input, creating a feedback loop. The frequency of this self-generated tone corresponds to the filter's cutoff frequency.

Filter overdrive occurs when the input signal to a filter is amplified to a level that causes the filter to distort. This typically results in a more aggressive, gritty sound as the filter's components are pushed beyond their linear operating range. Overdrive can add harmonics and compression to the sound, giving it more presence and character.
