2x & 4x Oversampling Double Precision 64bit DSP 64bit Host/OS Support Band-Limited Interpolation Variable Quality Modes Extreme Offline Render Modes Mid-Side Modes Cascade Control Complex Stereo Modes 0-Sample Latency Frequency Profiles Flexible EQ/Filter Routing Huge Parameter Value Ranges Complex & Clustered IRs Late Reflections Coloration Comprehensive Preset Browser Instant Algorithm Browsing Proprietary Spectral Modulation Attack & Sustain Envelope Variable Q Damping Decay Curve Immediate Parameter Accessibility Macro Controls Discrete Early Reflections Engine Comprehensive FX Presets
