You can choose from wavetable to sample playback and granular processing. For filtering, the analog state - variable filter gives you options like Low Pass, Band Pass, and High Pass. When it comes to modulation, use the modulation matrix to connect different sources and destinations. Remember to keep the synth in a dry and clean place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you're not using it for a long time, unplug the power supply. Also, when connecting external devices via USB, MIDI, or other outputs, make sure the connections are secure. This will help your synth last longer and keep performing at its best.
