Core Functions of the Bo-16 Workstation

1. Hybrid Sequencing & Arrangement: It features a 16-channel pattern sequencer for rhythmic construction and a linear arrangement timeline for full song creation.

2. Multi-Engine Synthesis: The app includes three specialized built-in instruments: a 3-oscillator Analog Poly Synth, a 303-inspired Acid Bass Machine, and a Physical Modeling Piano.

3. Advanced Sampling: A comprehensive sampling engine supports real-time bitcrushing, time-stretching (warping), granular synthesis, and intelligent transient slicing.

4. Pro Audio Signal Path: Every channel routes through a virtual console strip featuring 3-band spectral EQ, dynamics (compression), and harmonic saturation.

5. Spatial Return System: Uses a professional "Send/Return" workflow for global Reverb and Delay processors, allowing individual tracks to share a consistent acoustic space.

6. Cloud-Enabled Collaboration: The app supports user accounts, cloud project saving, and a global, searchable sample library.
