Why to use?

Spice up your synths, guitar, drums or any instrument you play or use....get creative with this new exciting SCOPE effect unit. dNa-Optimus Prime can create amazing big chorusses, huge flanges, groovy rhythmic delays, sweet filtered delays and weird modulations. Have to have and gotta hear it!

Ray: Optimus really works great on synths, guitar, drum, vocals.....spice it all up....but for me it really surprised on the synths.....makes "plain" synthsounds really exciting, and most important: inspirational! Time to make music! A really nice thing with the optimus.....YES it can oscillate and feedback/howl like a crazy dog...creating nice moody, paddy soundscapes...

• DynamicDSP: dynamic distribution of DSP power and functions which are not used are not loaded onto DSP’s for highly efficient DSP usage.
• Remote controllable through MIDI: Control the parameters for example with an external midi-controller.
• Automation of parameters through MIDI: When you custom assign the device parameters to midi-CC signals(just right click on a parameter), the device sends out MIDI signals which you can "record" in you sequencer, thus you can automate the device.
