A 2D cursor with 10 balls. Use the Multiball to control 2 continous controllers at once. It’s great for controlling dynamics and vibrato at the same time for truly expressive performances. Add physics for interesting effects and natural decays.
Similar to the multiball, the XY Pads make it easier to use 2 hands to control each cursor.
Reset all controllers to default values you assign.This is especially important when externally hosting sample libraries, ensuring that your music always plays back the same way between sessions.
