It includes five sound engines, two filters, dedicated FM and mixer panels, a modulation control bar, and a keyboard section with two MIDI effects.

4. Keyboard Area
Current’s keyboard area features an arpeggiator and chord generator for quickly creating melodies and chord progressions.
On the right side of the keyboard, you'll find the key and scale selectors. Aligning these with your track ensures that the arp and chord modules will always play in key.
