What are the major differences between the 1.0 and 2.0 versions of the Mandala?
– Mandala 1.0 has a brain box with onboard sounds, effects and presets. – Mandala 2.0 has no brain. It connects via USB to a computer, laptop or desktop (PC or MAC) and comes with Synesthesia’s proprietary software complete with a sound library of more than 150 professionally sampled instruments and more than 100 original presets. Both Units take advantage of the patented Mandala sensor technology that allows your Mandala pad to know where it is being struck as well as how hard it is being struck. It is the patented position sensitivity that allows the Mandala to be compatible with music production software unlike any electronic drum on the market.
