The new model has 32 compact mini keys with velocity sensitivity and aftertouch. A 64-step sequencer offers eight-note polyphony, step note entry, Rest, Tie and Legato options, ratcheting and gate randomisation. For live performance, Chord Play stores chords of up to 16 notes, and the multimode arpeggiator offers eight playback styles.

The device has four assignable encoders and two touch strips for pitch and modulation. Power comes from the USB-C bus or an external DC adapter. CV/Gate connections use standard 3.5 mm sockets, with Pitch CV, Gate and Mod CV outputs for modular synthesizers. Other connections include Sync In/Out, full-size five-pin MIDI I/O for hardware synthesizers and drum machines, two USB-C ports for class-compliant computer connection and standalone power, and a standard sustain pedal input.
