1. The FLEX DSP Engine & Vintage Fat Channel Modeling
The multi-core FLEX DSP engine provides immense processing flexibility without hardware voice-stealing:

- A/B Quick Comparison: Switch between two completely different channel strip settings (e.g. vintage tube EQ vs surgical digital filter) with a single tap to audition mix tweaks live.
