Motion SEQ
Motion Sequences are tempo-synchronized, completely customizable control sequences that can be assigned to virtually any synthesizer parameter and provide incredible creative new ways of programming sound.
Envelope Follower
The Envelope Follower converts audio into a control source for control of virtually any synthesizer parameter.

The audio can even be a “live” source through the A/D input.
