The ANA name (Analog Noise Attack), comes from its unique combination of 3 Oscillator types. 2 standard "Analog oscillator's", an "Advanced Noise" Oscillator, and a "Attack" Oscillator.

We have loads of videos on our site to explain all of the great functions and features in greater detail, so head over and check it all out now!
