There are two analogue combo inputs, separate headphones bus, latency-free DSP-powered monitoring with REV-X reverb, channel strip and Guitar Amp Classics.
Steinberg’s Cubase Artist 10.5 production, editing and sequencing software is also included with their award-winning 64-bit floating point audio engine with sampling up to 192kHz/32bit resolution and offering 5.1 surround, flexible routing and full-automatic delay compensation. It comes complete with virtual instruments and a suite of audio and MIDI tools. With the Cubasis LE multi-touch sequencer app, it makes it possible to record, edit and mix on iOS handheld devices.
