- _RHEA THD change doesn’t cause artifacts on a high level anymore.
- _RHEA – MIX level compensation which prevents output to raise between DRY and WET settings – for units on field, it is necessary to explicitly enable that settings in GConManager _CONFIG application – as it changes the level on some settings it will change output level for some session recalls.
- _HYPERION front panel improvements – HPF parameter is manageable via front panel without a plug-in. To toggle HPF ON or OFF – either push and hold HPF knob for 2 seconds, or double push it.
