The beauty of the PLUGSTATION concept is that it can grow with your needs. So you do not have to
purchase all of the options at first, but can do so at a later date, should your needs require it. This also
applies to PLG cards, you don’t have to have all 4 slots loaded at once, but can add one card at a time,
making in the end, an incredibly powerful modular digital synth, with up to 4 different synthesis engines,
multiple 24-bit analogue audio and ADAT outputs. This is something, which no other rackmount tone module
in the world offers. Make no mistake, PLUGSTATION offers immense possibilities.
