The
A
consists of a Base Station and a Ring Controller.
Ring Controller
Base Station
With the Base Station, you can create and save patterns, songs and other musical pieces, as well as
edit tones, for example. Use the Ring Controller for input when creating music.
Since the Ring Controller can be detached from the Base Station, you can hold it in your hand and
play it like an instrument. You can also connect it by USB or Bluetooth LE to a Mac computer or iOS
device and use it as a MIDI controller. (

NOTE
BTA-1 units (sold separately) are necessary to connect by Bluetooth LE.
The Ring Controller has 16 pads with multicolor LEDs. The Base Station also has 32 STEP keys, so
you can quickly create patterns and songs. Arranging the STEP keys in a ring, instead of the usual
straight lines, enables confirmation and operation of all steps in a compact form.
