One of the features the update adds is a vintage engine with E-mu SP-1200 and Akai MPC-60 modes.

If you select the SP1200 mode, you get an option to choose from Lo, Lo-mid, Hi, Hi-mid filter times. I’ve never used an SP so I cannot really comment on how accurate the emulations are. They do sound crunchy in a good way to my ears.

I’m I cheap or is$6.99 a bit much for a can of air? I ended up spending $4.99 in target on a can that went tepid before i was even done dusting the graphics card.

Update:

It turns out these cans do not contain air but hydroflurocarbons which are heavily taxed ozone depleting gases.

“In Europe 10 % of all electricity used by industry is used to produce compressed air. This amounts to 80 terawatt hours per year.[1][2]“
