Frequently Asked Questions
The analog mode simulates the characteristic warmth and saturation of tape or BBD circuits, but it's not a perfect recreation; it's a convincing approximation that adds character.
Absolutely, it functions as a dual stereo delay, but its real strength lies in its more complex routing and resampling capabilities for granular textures.
XAOC’s lossless normalization preserves signal integrity; the AKM converter and 32-bit internal processing minimize quantization errors and noise, maintaining clarity even at extreme settings.
