Standout functionality

• Fine-grained control over note timing and velocity to dial in expression
• A selection of onboard effects to color and process MIDI output
• Adjustable track parameters so each lane can be tailored to your needs

Typical use cases

HY-RPE2 works well for:

• Live setups where quick pattern changes and reliable sync matter
