Version: 1.0.1:

[Aliasing at Lower Sample Rates]

- Previous version had pronounced aliasing when sample rate was reduced.

- This was due to sample rate reduction happening post-convolution (emulating S-950 EQ curve).

- Resulted in aliasing frequencies being managed differently than the original sound, introducing pronounced high frequencies.

[Convolution Process Update]

- Convolution, which mimics the S-950 EQ curve, is now the final process before output.

- Both aliasing and original sound are now filtered cohesively, leading to a truer emulation.

[Previous Version Availability]

- Original version remains available for download.

- Its distinct coloration may be preferred in certain contexts.

[Upcoming Features & Improvements]

- Better saturation stage.

- Improved gain compensation: Current version is optimal at clipping levels; enhancements will offer broader flexibility.

- Enhanced aliasing control for refined sound management.
