Oversampling

Due to the unique sound of this instrument, oversampling is required to get the best quality audio. This setting sets the amount of oversampling applied to the signal chain inside the instrument. Higher values will slightly improve audio quality at the expense of extra CPU usage.

On - Envelope release tails will continue after you press stop on your host DAW.

Off - Envelope release tails will stop after you press stop on your host DAW

<aside> ⚠️ Reverb and delay repeats will always continue after stopping the host.
