Space + mix

Every part in its place: levels, reverb and echo.

Turn a loud, dry loop into a mix. Set the levels, hear a part alone, give the chords a room and the lead an echo, then warm the whole mix.

Comes with the Groove OS 2.0 beta, with five more courses. On your FM-1, tap GLO (SETTINGS), then LEARN. Inside a course, hold GLO for its card.
