Description
The Disting is a many-in-1 multifunction module, offering a variety of CV and audio processes, including a selection of oscillators (LFOs/VCOs). All algorithms have two high-precision inputs and outputs, and a third control input, exposed on a front panel knob and a CV input.
The Disting is also a sample (WAV) file and MIDI file player, with a variety of options for sample triggering, playback speed etc.
