    What's Under the Hood
    DEEP/4 is a painstaking recreation of one of the most powerful multi-effects processors ever built: The Ensoniq DP/4. Every algorithm has been rebuilt at the lowest level from the original 24-bit DSP hardware.

    43 algorithms, mathematically verified against the original DSP architecture. No guesswork.

    Import presets directly from the original hardware via SysEx — load classic libraries like Don Solaris' Essentials Vol1 and hear them exactly as they were meant to sound.

    have you guys tried it? what do you think?

    personally I don't mess with dev's (in this case "temecula") that install edge webview garbage on the host machine.

    I like his MidiVerb II emu (my favourite MV emu actually) - does give off AI vibes though.

    I had to try it when I found out it was a hardware multi effect plugin, but with me being busy and distracted by other projects and such since last month I haven’t had much time to go deep into this effect, I also have the midiverb plugin too

    Not sure if it is really HIS emu. As two months earlier this VST by Thement (and its source code) has been posted on Github:

    https://github.com/thement/midiverb_emulator

    I find it HIGHLY unlikely that two different devs suddenly managed to reverse engineer the same 40 year old device. Looks like Temecula used Tement's work. (Frankly, 2 weeks ago I already saw yet another Midiverb emu, by yet another dev - same suspiction. Just as DiscoDSP using other people's open source work.)
