- oscillators can be sync’d and ring modulated by each other

- 2 tempo-sync LFO’s to modulate pitch, cut-off and pulse width
- LFO’s have attack/release curves

- envelopes can be reset or continuous at retrigger
- monophonic or polyphonic option

Basic64 (a major update to basic) is capable of much more than just straight 8bit blips and beeps, from lofi gritty pads to weird & wonderful textures.
