The Taiga uses a standard power supply.
Can I use the Taiga with other synthesizers?
Yes, it can be integrated into a larger modular or synthesizer setup using appropriate cables and connections.
What is the function of the Dynamics Controller?
The Dynamics Controller allows you to shape the dynamics of the sound.
